    An
    d the 
    Verse 1


    ship 
    sets 
    the 
    sail 

    G#m 

    They've 
    lived 
    the 
    tale 

    C#m F#m 

    To 
    carry 
    to 
    the shore 

    A6 E 

    Straining 
    at 
    the 
    oars 

    G#7 C#m 

    Or staring 
    from 
    the rail 

    E -A 
    B7 

    And 
    the 
    sea 
    bids 
    farewell 

    G#m 

    She 
    waves 
    in 
    swells 

    C#m F#m 

    And 
    sends 
    them on 
    their 
    way 

    A6 E 

    Time 
    has 
    been 
    her 
    pay 

    G#7 C#m 

    And time 
    will have 
    to tell 

    G#m 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be 
    over 

    D E B 
    C#m 

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the 
    pleasures 

    of 
    the har 
    - bor 

    Verse 2
    And 
    the 
    anchor 
    hit
    s the sand 

    The hungry 
    hands 

    Have 
    tied 
    them 
    to 
    the 
    port 

    The 
    hour 
    will 
    be 
    short 

    For 
    leisure 
    on 
    the 
    land 

    And 
    the 
    girls 
    scent 
    the 
    air 

    They seem 
    so 
    fair 

    With paint 
    on 
    their 
    face 

    Soft 
    is their 
    em
    brace 

    to 
    lead 
    them 
    up 
    the 
    stairs 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be 
    over 

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the 
    pleasures 
    of 
    the 
    harbor 

    Verse 3
    In 
    the room 
    dark 
    and 
    dim 

    Touch 
    of skin 

    He 
    asks 
    her 
    of 
    her 
    name 

    She 
    answers 
    with 
    no 
    shame 

    And 
    not 
    a sense 
    of 
    sin 

    Until 
    the 
    fingers 
    draw 
    the 
    blinds 

    Sip 
    of 
    wine 

    The 
    cigarette 
    of 
    doubt 

    The 
    candle 
    is 
    blown 
    out 

    The darkness 
    is 
    so 
    kind 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be 
    over 

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the 
    pleasures 
    of 
    the harbor 

    And 
    Verse 4
    the shadows 
    frame 
    the light 

    Same 
    old 
    sight 

    Thrill 
    has 
    blown 
    away 

    Now 
    all 
    alone 
    they 
    lay 

    Two 
    strangers 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    Till 
    his heart 
    skips 
    beat 

    He's on 
    his 
    feet 

    To shipmates 
    he 
    must 
    join 

    She's 
    counting 
    up 
    the 
    coins 

    He's 
    swal
    lowed 
    by 
    the 
    street 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be over 

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the pleasures 
    of 
    the 
    har
    bor 

    Interlude 1





    Verse 5
    In 
    the bar 
    hangs 
    cloud 

    The 
    whiskey's 
    loud 

    There's laughter 
    in 
    their 
    eyes 

    The 
    lonely 
    in 
    disguse 

    Are 
    clinging 
    to 
    the 
    crowd 

    And 
    the 
    bottle 
    fills 
    the 
    glass 

    The haze 
    is 
    fast 

    He's trem
    bling 
    for 
    the 
    taste 

    Of 
    passion 
    gone 
    to 
    waste 

    In 
    memories 
    of 
    the 
    past 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be 
    over 

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the 
    pleasures 
    of 
    the 
    harbor 

    In 
    the 
    Verse 6
    alley, 
    red 
    with rain 

    Cry 
    of 
    pain 

    For love 
    was 
    but 
    a smile 

    Teasing 
    all 
    the while 

    Now 
    dancing 
    down 
    the 
    drain 

    'Till 
    the boys 
    reach 
    the 
    dock 

    They 
    gently 
    mock 

    Lift 
    him 
    on 
    their 
    backs 

    Lay 
    him 
    on 
    his 
    rack 

    And 
    leave 
    beneath 
    the 
    light 

    Soon 
    your 
    sailing 
    will 
    be 
    over

    Come 
    and 
    take 
    the 
    pleasures 

    of 
    the 
    har
    bor 

    Verse 7
    And 
    the 
    ship 
    sets 
    the 
    sail 

    They've 
    lived 
    the 
    tale 

    To carry

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.

      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.
