    (Night boat to Cairo) 





    Interlude 1



    Verse 1
    It's 
    just 
    gone 
    noon, 
    half 
    past 
    monsoon 

    On 
    the 
    banks 
    of 
    the 
    river 
    Nile 

    Here 
    comes 
    the 
    boat, 
    only 
    half-afloat 

    Oarsman 
    grins 
    a 
    toothless 
    smile 

    Only 
    just 
    one 
    more 
    to 
    this 
    desolate 
    shore 

    Last 
    boat 
    along 
    the 
    river 
    Nile 

    Doesn't 
    seem 
    to 
    care, 
    no 
    more 
    wind 
    in 
    his 
    hair 

    As 
    he 
    reaches 
    his 
    last 
    half 
    mile 

    Bridge 1
    The 
    oar 
    snaps 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    before 
    he 
    reaches 
    dry 
    land 

    But 
    the 
    sound 
    doesn't 
    dampen 
    his 
    smile 

    Just 
    pokes 
    at 
    wet 
    sand 
    with 
    an 
    oar 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    Floats 
    off 
    down 
    the 
    river 
    Nile 

    Floats 
    off 
    down 
    the 
    riv
    er 
    Nile 

    All 
    a
    board 

    Solo 1
    Night 
    boat 
    to 
    Cairo 


    Night 
    boat 
    to 
    Cairo

    • 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.”
