Intro 1
Am


Verse 1
Am

Saw an ad in the newspaper

that caught my eye

I said to my baby this sounds

like the ticket for you and I

It said volunteers wanted for

a very special trip

To commune with Mother Nature

on a big wooden ship
F

We took a taxi to the river in case

any places were free

There was an old guy with a beard

And every kind of creature as far

as the eye could see
Verse 2
F

This old guy was the boss he said "I won't

tell you no lie

But there's more to this journey
E
Em

than is apparent to the eye"
Am

He said he'd heard God's

message on the radio

It was going to rain forever

and he'd told him to go
Em
Am
F

"I'll protect you all don't worry

I'll be father to you all

I'll save two of every animal,
E
Em
D

no matter how small
F

But I'll need some assistants
Em
Esus4

to look after the zoo
Dsus4
Eb

I can't see nobody better so
A
Dsus4

you'll just have to do"
C
F

I said, "Just tell me something before it's
Em

too late and we're gone
Dsus4
D
F

I mean just how safe is this boat
Am

we'll be on?"
Verse 3
Am

"It's Rock steady, Rock steady

Rock steady, Rock steady

Rock steady, Rock steady

Rock steady, Rock steady"
Verse 4
Am

It rained for forty days and forty

long nights

I'd never seen rain like it and

it looked like our old friend

Was being proved right

We had no time to worry though

there was just too much to do

Between the signified monkey

and the kangaroo
F

We had to wash all the animals we had to

feed them too

We were merely human slaves
E

in a big floating zoo
D
Am

She said,

"Hey baby I don't mean to be flip

But it seems this old man

is on some power trip"
F

I said, "No,

no sugar you must be wrong

I mean look at the size of this
Esus4
Em
Am

boat we're on.
F

We're as safe as houses,
Esus4

as safe as mother's milk
Dsus4
Eb

He's as cool as November
F
Dsus4
F

and as smooth as Chin a silk
C
F

He's God's best friend,
Esus4
D

he's got a seat on the board
Dm
F

And life may be tough but we're
Am

sailing with the lord."
Verse 5
Am
D
Am
D

Rock steady, Rock steady
Am
D
Am

Rock steady, Rock steady

Rock steady, Rock steady

Rock steady, Rock steady
Verse 6
Am

Woke up this morning

and something had changed

Like a room in my house

had just been rearranged
F

She said, "It's stopped raining and

I know the guy's kind

But if we stay here much longer
E
Em

I'm gonna lose my mind."
Am

So we said we had a mission

for his favorite dove

To see if there was any mercy
Asus4

from this great God above
Am
F

So to find dry land,

away the white bird flew

We didn't need no country
Em

just a rock would do
F

When the dove came back
Esus4

to us he threw down a twig
Em
Dsus4
Eb

It was manna from heaven and
F
Dsus4
C

meant we could blow this gig
F

"But the rock's too small,
Esus4

" he said, "can't you see?"
Em
F

I said, "It's just perfect for her,
F

it's perfect for me."
Am
Rock steady,

  • 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.
