Verse 1
D

I'm a sailor
Bm

man from Wexford town
D
A

I've sailed the seven seas
D
G

I will tell you a true story
D
Bm

Of the sunny southern seas
D
G

We were caught up in the Doldrums
D
Bm

While waiting for a breeze
D
G

When the stillness of the day was brok
Bm
A
D

By a merman in the deep blue seas
Em

Well, the captain, he slept
Bm
G
D

Below while the crew, they lay about
G
Bm

When down in the ocean, boys
D
G

We heard this mighty shout
D
G

His hair was red, his eyes were green
D
Bm

His beard was floating free
D

He'd a long green tail that
G

Could kill a whale
Bm
D

That waggled in the deep blue sea
Bm

And the mermaids looked so beautiful
D
A

As they swam around by the shore
D
G

But this merman with his fishy tail
D
Bm

I'd never seen before
D
G

And sailors tell the tallest tales
D
Bm

I never told a lie
D

He'd a long green tail that
G

Could kill a whale
Bm
D

That wobbled as he swam
G
Bm
A
D

close by
Bm

Was it neptune that appeared to us
D
A

From his mansions in the deep?
D

Then the cook O'Toole,
G

then he ran below
D
Bm

Woke the captain from his sleep
D
G

And the captain came on deck at once
D
Bm

Took a look into the deep
D
G

"Oh, I've never seen the likes of this!"
Bm
D

The merman, then, he soon agreed
Em

"Then who are you,
Bm

what do you come from?
G
D

What do you want here?"
G
Bm

Then he shook his tail, he rocked our boat
D
G

It filled our hearts with fear
D

"You've dropped your
G

anchor on my house
D
Bm

It's blocking up me door!
D

And my wife, the mermaid
G

She's trapped inside
Bm
A
D

And my children can't get out no more"
Bm

And the mermaids looked so beautiful
D
A

As they swam around by the shore
D
G

But this merman with his fishy tail
D
Bm

I'd never seen before
D
G

And sailors tell the tallest tales
D
Bm

I never told a lie

He'd a long green tail that
G

Could kill a whale

G
Bm
A
D

close by
Bm

Well, we quickly hoisted anchor, boys
D
A

And the mermaid then did smile
D

"Sure, me name is Patrick
G

John O'Rourke
D
Bm

I came from Erin's Isle
D
G

It was many years ago from now
D
Bm

I was shipwrecked on the reef
D

When this pretty mermaid,
G

she rescued me
Bm
A
D

From the perils of the ocean deep
Em
Bm

And we very soon were married
G
D

Way down in the deep blue sea
G
Bm

Now I'm happy and contented
D
G

With me wife and family
D

Though I oft times wished
G

I could go home
D
Bm

And live on Ireland's shore
D
G

But I'm committed to the ocean deep
Bm
A
D

And I can't go home again no more"
Bm

And the mermaids looked so beautiful
D
A

As they swam around by the shore
D
G

But this merman with his fishy tail
D
Bm

I'd never seen before
D
G

And sailors tell the tallest tales
D
Bm

I never told a lie
D

He'd a long green tail that
G

Could kill a whale

  • 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.
