Verse 1
C

Upon the isle of Newfoundland
G

there lived a sailor boy.

He was a handsome sailor lad,
C

his father's pride and joy.

He was born and boarded

his father's ship
G

on a dark and stormy morn,

and he helped the crew

harpoon a whale

on the day that he was born.
C
G

Jack was every inch a sailor,
C

five and twenty years a whaler.
G

Jack was every inch a sailor,
C

he was born upon the bright blue sea.

When Jack grew up to be a man,
G

he sailed from shore to shore.

He sailed his ship around the world

a dozen times or more.
C

Harpooning whales was play to him,
G

for he was very strong,

And he was also very tall,
C

and his beard was very long.
G

Jack was every inch a sailor,
C

five and twenty years a whaler.
G

Jack was every inch a sailor,
C

he was born upon the bright blue sea.

One night while Jack was standing, watch,

a storm began to blow.
G

It blew so hard
C

that soon the ship was tossing to and fro.

A great big wave rolled up to Jack
G

and washed him to the rail.

And he was tossed into the sea
C

and swallowed by a whale.
G

Old Jack was every inch a sailor.
C

Five and twenty years a whaler.
G

Jack was every inch a sailor.
C

He was born upon the bright blue sea.

Now when that whale had

swallowed Jack,
G

he soon began to shake,

for this old whale had got himself

a mighty stomachache.
C

Well now, said Jack,

this poor old whale don't
G

know what he's about,

so he grabbed that whale all by the tail
C

and pulled him inside out.
G

Jack was a French sailor,
C

Five and twenty years a whaler,
G

Jack was a French sailor,
C

He was born upon the bright blue sea.

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • 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

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • 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.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
