  • Verse 1
    I drifted 

    in the Doldrum
    s, 

    almost 
    dead, 

    A weedy, 
    watery, 
    trail, 

    With 
    useless 
    rag, 

    hangin 
    above 
    my head, 

    Not 
    breath o' breeze 
    to fill 
    my sail, 


    Then liftin' 
    up 
    my spyglass, 

    ol' 
    Buckley's 
    hope, 

    seen 
    somethin' 
    o'er 
    the waves, 


    I throwed 
    my things, 

    I left 
    my boat, 

    And swam 
    out on 
    my way. 

    On 
    a Desert 
    Isle, 
    Verse 2

    Here 
    sing, oh- 
    de- lee- 
    ee- 
    oh- 
    de- 
    lay- ee, 

    Soft 
    an' sweet 

    Got 
    no shirt 
    or shoes 
    upon 
    my feet, 

    Out 
    in the middle 
    of an 
    o- 
    o- 
    ocean, 


    Doin' 
    my 
    thing, 

    I'm 
    happy 
    just 
    to dream, 
    and 
    sing, 

    Out 
    livin' 
    like a mara
    bout 
    king, 

    Out on a 
    Desert 
    Isle 

    The shadin' 
    palm 
    trees 
    Verse 3
    bend 
    an' 
    sway, 

    The fish 
    swim 
    'bout 
    my feet, 

    And a 
    breeze 
    blowin' 
    soft 

    'pon 
    the 
    cordgrass play, 

    A lazy 
    old melody, 
    cool 
    an' sweet, 

    As 
    the 
    sun goes 
    sinkin' 
    in a 
    painted 
    sky, 

    My 
    eye's 
    on 
    a pool 
    of light, 

    Where 
    the 
    stars 
    cast 
    twink

    lin' 
    veil 
    on 
    high, 

    Where 
    sleep 
    out 
    everynight... 

    One 
    Verse 4
    mornin' the silence 
    broke, 

    As 
    beset 
    by a 
    sea high- 
    horned 

    in 
    waves 
    awoke, 

    To find 
    no remnants 
    of that 
    paradise, 

    What 
    laid about 
    me, 
    were 
    a changed, 

    unfriendly 
    land, 

    From beyond 
    the 
    compass' reach, 

    sings this song 
    of water 
    an' 
    dun
    e, 

    Of 
    wonder
    s strange, 

    Out 
    of the 
    gloom, 

    there came a 
    sound like 
    cry
    in' in 
    the night, 

    My 
    blue ruined 
    eyes 
    thought lied, 

    A wo
    man draggin' 
    up, 

    out of 
    that 
    squawlin' tide. 

    Verse 5
    On 
    a desert 
    isle, 

    Oh- de- lee- 
    oh- 
    oh- de- lay- 
    ee, 

    tired 
    an' beat, 

    Writin' 
    help, in letters 
    fifteen 
    feet, 


    Out on the beach, 

    beside 
    an 
    o- o- 
    ocean, 

    Woe 
    is 
    me, 

    a cryin 
    baby 
    boun
    cin' on 
    my knee, 

    In 
    a little 
    grass 
    shack 
    built for 
    three, 

    Out on 
    Deser
    Isle.

    • 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.
