Verse 1
D
A
D
A

As I was a -walkin' down by the seaside,
D

I saw a large whale floatin' on the tide.

He measured as long
G

as a great schooner stick.
A

I looked, and by gum,
D

it was old Moby Dick.

Now what do you think I made of his head?
A
D

As large an oven as ever

baked bread

Fruitcake and cookies,
G

oh just take your pick
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?

Now what do you think I
A

made of his eyes?

The fanciest platters as
D

ever baked pies

Blueberry custard, oh,
G

just take your pick
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?
A

Now what do you think I made of his tail?
D

As fine a mainsail as ever sought sail

Topsail or spinnaker,
G

just take your pick
D
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?
A

Now what do you think I made of his back?

A big top for a circus,
D

and all colored black,
G

Water repellent, all shiny and slick.
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?

Now what do you think I
A

made of his ribs?
D

Forty new cradles and fifty new cribs,

For twins or quintuplets,
G

oh, just take your pick
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?

Now what did I make
A

of his old backbone?
D
A

A place for a king, a shiny white throne
D

I labored for years,
G
Gm

t 'was not finished quick
G
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?
A

Now what do you think I made of his ma?
D

As fine a blasphemous as ever you saw

Gas, coal or wood,
G

oh just take your pick
A

Don't you think I did well
D

with old Moby Dick?

  • 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.
