Jack Tar chords by 
Ewan MaccollA. L. Lloyd
N/A•
Verse 1
D
So come all you ladies, gay,
who delights in sailors' joy.
D
Listen while I sing you a song.
When Jack Tardy comes ashore
with his gold and silvery star,
there's no one can get rid of it so soon.
The first thing Jack required
was a fiddler to his hand.
Likewise, the best liquor of every kind.
D
And a pretty girl, likewise,
with two dark and rolling eyes
And Jackie is suited to his mind
The landlady she comes in
dressed all in her Sunday best
She looks like some bright
and morning star
D
She's ready to wait on him
when she finds he's plenty attend
Chalk him down to the one behind the bar
His wages were soon gone
and his friends they were all flown
And the flash girls they
departed for another
D
And the landlady she cried,
pay your score and get outside
Your cargo's gone
and you've met stormy weather
Now Jackal in his rage
he threw bottles at her head
And likewise all the glasses he let fly
D
And the poor girl in her fright
called the watchman of the night, saying,
Take this young ladler lad away.
Now Jack did understand
that a ship lay wanton hands,
And to her he went straight down.
D
With a sweet and pleasant gail
he unfurled his lofty sail,
Adieu to the flash girls of the town.
So he laid her on a tack
like a cutter or a smack
As she rolled from the lee to the weather
D
And he kept her full an eye
close to the window
D
She would lie,
we were bound for Blackwall in stormy weather

Well-Designed App
Rose the Black Cat
“I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.”
Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
Secret weapon

This is the best guitar tuner ever.
Caleb Schafli
“It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.”
