    Verse 1
    Saw 
    an ad 
    in the newspaper 

    that caught 
    my 
    eye 

    I said 
    to my 
    baby 
    this sounds 

    like the 
    ticket 
    for you 
    and 

    It 
    said 
    volunteers 
    wanted 
    for 

    a very 
    special 
    trip 

    To commune 
    with Mother 
    Nature 

    on 
    a big 
    wooden 
    ship 

    We took 
    a tax
    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
    This old guy 
    was 
    the boss 
    he said "I won't 

    tell 
    you no 
    lie 

    But there's more 
    to 
    this journey 

    than is appar
    ent 
    to 
    the eye" 

    He 
    said he'd 
    heard 
    God's 

    message 
    on 
    the radio 

    It was 
    going to rain 
    forever 

    and he'd told 
    him to 
    go 

    "I'll 
    protect 
    you all 
    don't worry 

    I'll be father 
    to 
    you all 

    I'll save 
    two 
    of every 
    animal, 

    no 
    matter 
    how 
    small 

    But 
    I'll 
    need 
    some 
    assistants 

    to 
    look after 
    the zoo 

    I can't see 
    nobody 
    better 
    so 

    you'll just 
    have to 
    do" 

    said, 
    "Just tell me 
    something 
    before it's 

    too late 
    and we're gone 

    I mean 
    just 
    how safe 
    is this 
    boat 

    we'll be 
    on?" 

    Verse 3
    "It's Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady" 

    Verse 4
    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 

    We 
    had 
    to 
    wash 
    all the animals 
    we had to 

    feed them 
    too 

    We were merely 
    human 
    slaves 

    in a big 
    floating 
    zoo 

    She 
    said, 

    "Hey 
    baby 
    don't mean 
    to be flip 

    But it seems 
    this 
    old man 

    is on some 
    power 
    trip" 

    I said, 
    "No, 

    no 
    sugar 
    you must 
    be wrong 

    I mean 
    look 
    at 
    the size 
    of 
    this 

    boat 
    we're 
    on. 

    We're as 
    safe 
    as houses, 

    as 
    safe 
    as 
    mother's 
    milk 

    He's as cool 
    as November 

    and as smooth 
    as 
    Chin
    a silk 

    He's 
    God's 
    best 
    friend, 

    he's got a seat 
    on the 
    board 

    And 
    life 
    may be 
    tough 
    but we're 

    sailing 
    with the 
    lord." 

    Verse 5
    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Verse 6
    Woke 
    up this 
    morning 

    and something 
    had 
    changed 

    Like 
    a room 
    in my 
    house 

    had just 
    been rearranged 

    She 
    said, 
    "It's stopped 
    raining 
    and 

    I know 
    the guy's 
    kind 

    But if we stay 
    here much 
    longer 

    I'm gonna lose 
    my mind." 

    So 
    we said 
    we had 
    a mission 

    for 
    his favorite 
    dove 

    To see if 
    there was any 
    mercy 

    from this 
    great God 
    above 

    So 
    to find 
    dry 
    land, 

    away 
    the white 
    bird 
    flew 

    We didn't need 
    no country 

    just 
    rock 
    would 
    do 

    When 
    the dove 
    came 
    back 

    to us 
    he 
    threw down 
    a twig 

    It 
    was manna 
    from 
    heaven and 

    meant we 
    could blow 
    this gig 

    "But 
    the rock's 
    too small, 

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

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

    it's 
    perfect 
    for me." 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Verse 7
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 
    Rock 
    steady 

    Rock 
    steady, 

    Rock 
    steady 


    Rock 
    steady, 
    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.
