  • Verse 1
    The 
    oceans 
    of 
    the world 

    were 
    the home 
    of big 
    blue 

    He 
    was 
    the greatest 
    mon
    ster 
    that 

    the 
    world 
    ever 
    knew 

    And the 
    place 
    that 
    he loved 
    best 

    Was 
    the 
    waters 
    to 
    the west 

    Around 
    the 
    blue 
    Pacific 
    he did 
    roam 

    Verse 2

    Big 
    Blue 
    moved 
    alone 
    for 

    a mighty 
    blue 
    was 
    he 

    And the 
    battles 
    of 
    the whales 
    was 

    an awesome 
    sight 
    to see 

    And he 
    took 
    them 
    one 
    by 
    one 
    and he 

    drove 
    them 
    all 
    away 

    In the 
    mating 
    of 
    the day 
    he 

    was 
    the king 

    Verse 3

    Big 
    blue 
    had 
    fifty 
    wives 
    and he 

    sired 
    forty 
    sons 

    Though 
    most 
    of them 
    feel 
    victim 

    to 
    the 
    cruel 
    harpoon 
    guns 

    Ah 
    but 
    he 
    was 
    too much 
    wise 
    to get 

    caught 
    by the 
    gunners' eyes 

    And 
    so 
    he lived 
    at 
    sea 

    Interlude 1
    a hundred 
    years 


    Verse 4
    His 
    mouth 
    was 
    as large 
    as 

    tunnel 
    so 
    they 
    say 

    His 
    hide 
    was 
    thick 
    as 
    leather 
    and 

    his eyes 
    quick 
    and small 

    And his 
    back 
    was 
    all scarred 

    by 
    the times 
    he 
    got 
    away 

    And he 
    knew 
    the smell 
    of 

    Interlude 2
    whalers 
    did Big 
    Blue 



    Verse 5
    Big 
    Blue 
    passed 
    away 
    to his 

    natural 
    decay 

    Beside 
    the 
    Arctic 
    Circle 
    as 

    he travelled 
    up that 
    way 

    And 
    there 
    never 
    was 
    a man 
    who 
    was 
    born 

    with 
    a gunner's 
    hand 

    Who ever 
    took 
    a pan 
    to Big 

    Interlude 3
    Blue 



    Now the 
    Verse 6
    gray 
    whale 
    has 
    run 
    and 

    the sperm 
    is 
    almost 
    done 

    The 
    finbacks and 
    the Green
    land 
    rights 

    have all 
    passed 
    and 
    gone 

    They've 
    been 
    taken 
    by 
    the men 
    for 

    the 
    money 
    they 
    could 
    spend 

    And the 
    killing 
    never 
    ends, 

    it 
    just 
    goes 
    on 

    Verse 7

    The 
    oceans 
    of 
    the 
    earth 
    were 

    the home 
    of big 
    blue 

    He 
    was 
    the greatest 
    mon
    ster 

    that 
    the 
    world 
    ever 
    knew 

    And the 
    place 
    that 
    he loved 
    best 
    was 

    the 
    waters 
    to 
    the west 

    Around 
    the 
    blue 
    Pacific 
    he did 
    roam

    • 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.
