    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    -walk
    in' 
    down 
    by 
    the 
    sea
    side, 

    I 
    saw 
    a 
    large 
    whale 
    floatin' 
    on 
    the 
    tide. 

    He 
    measured 
    as 
    long 

    as 
    a 
    great 
    schooner 
    stick. 

    I 
    looked, 
    and by 
    gum, 

    it 
    was 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    . 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    made 
    of 
    his 
    head? 

    As 
    large 
    an 
    oven 
    as 
    ever 

    baked 
    bread 

    Fruitcake 
    and 
    cookies, 

    oh 
    just 
    take 
    your 
    pick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 

    made 
    of 
    his 
    eye
    s? 

    The 
    fanciest 
    platters 
    as 

    ever 
    baked 
    pies 

    Blueberry 
    custard, 
    oh, 

    just 
    take 
    your 
    pick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    made 
    of 
    his 
    tail? 

    As 
    fine 
    a 
    mainsail 
    as 
    ever 
    sought 
    sail 

    Topsail 
    or 
    spinnaker, 

    just 
    take 
    your 
    pick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    made 
    of 
    his 
    back
    ? 

    A 
    big 
    top 
    for 
    a 
    circus, 

    and 
    all 
    colored 
    black, 

    Water 
    repellent, 
    all 
    shiny 
    and 
    slick. 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 

    made 
    of 
    his 
    rib
    s? 

    Forty 
    new 
    cradles 
    and 
    fifty 
    new 
    cribs, 

    For 
    twins 
    or 
    quintuplets, 

    oh, 
    just 
    take 
    your 
    pick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    did 
    I 
    make 

    of 
    his 
    old 
    back
    bone? 

    A 
    place 
    for 
    a 
    king, 
    a 
    shiny 
    white 
    throne 

    I 
    labored 
    for 
    years, 

    t 'was 
    not 
    finished 
    quick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ? 

    Now 
    what 
    do 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    made 
    of 
    his 
    ma? 

    As 
    fine 
    a 
    blasphemous 
    as 
    ever 
    you 
    saw 

    Gas, 
    coal 
    or 
    wood, 

    oh 
    just 
    take 
    your 
    pick 

    Don't 
    you 
    think 
    I 
    did 
    well 

    with 
    old 
    Moby 
    Dick
    ?

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
