    Verse 1
    Hush 
    my 
    little 
    one 

    don`t 
    cry 
    so 

    You know 
    your 

    Daddy`s bound 
    to 
    go 

    They 
    took 
    his pride 

    They took 
    his 
    voice 

    Don`t 
    upset 
    him now, 

    don`t 
    make 
    a noise 

    They 
    said 
    "You`re lucky 
    son 

    you've still 
    got 
    a choice" 

    Last 
    boat leaving 

    Verse 2

    Don`t 
    waste 
    your 
    tears 

    It`s 
    not 
    as 
    if I`m 
    in 
    chains 

    don`t 
    want 
    to 
    go 
    now, 

    it 
    would be 
    bet
    ter 
    for 

    You, 
    too, 
    if I 
    don`t 
    look 

    back 
    when we 
    sail 

    Verse 3

    Hush 
    my 
    dear, 
    while 
    whisper 
    it in 

    your 
    ear 

    We`re not going 
    to 
    sail 
    tonight 

    We`re going 
    to 
    dis
    appear 

    And 
    it 
    feels 
    like 
    punishment, 

    but 
    I don`t 
    know what 
    for 

    Take 
    care 
    of your mother
    , son, 

    it`s 
    you 
    that 
    she 
    adores 

    `Cos 
    no matter 
    how 
    long 
    we sail 

    we`ll never 
    reach 
    the shore 

    Last 

    boat 
    leaving 

    Verse 4
    So dry 
    your 
    tears 

    It`s 
    not 
    as 
    if I`m 
    in 
    chains 

    When 
    you 
    go 
    to school, 
    son, 

    you`ll read 
    my 
    story 
    in history 
    books 

    Only 
    they won`t 
    men
    tion 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 5
    So 
    hush 
    now, 
    my 
    darling, 
    my sweet 
    little 
    one 

    hope 
    that 
    you 
    never 
    have 

    to 
    do 
    what 
    I`ve 
    done 

    Do 
    you know 
    what 
    I've 
    done? 

    Why 
    I`m going 
    away? 
    On 
    the last 

    boat 
    leaving 
    this 
    stinking 
    town 

    It`s 
    the last 
    boat leaving, 

    it`s 
    the last 
    boat 
    leaving 

    Verse 6
    You've 
    had 
    my 
    innocence, 

    you've 
    had my 
    heartbreak 

    You've 
    taken 
    the place 

    where 
    I once 
    belonged 

    Now 
    what 
    more 
    can 
    you 
    take?

    • 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.
