    Verse 1
    It's 
    a 
    long 

    way 
    to 
    Shanghai 
    through the 
    vast 
    China 
    Sea 

    The 
    topsails 
    are full 
    but 
    we're 

    light 
    on 
    the breeze 

    With 
    a 
    good 
    clip 
    down 
    channel, 

    and 
    the passage 
    looks 
    calm 

    And there's 
    naught 
    like 
    a 

    clipper 
    just 
    rolling 
    along 

    Verse 2
    Rolling 
    along, 
    boys, 
    rolling 
    along 

    And there's 
    naught 
    like 
    a 
    clipper 

    just 
    rolling 
    along 

    Verse 3
    'Tween the 
    skeleton 
    beach 
    and 

    the 
    Cape 
    of Good 
    Hope 

    There's 
    sandbars 
    and reef
    s, boys, 

    and they'll 
    give 
    you 
    a grope 

    To you 
    skippers 
    so 
    daring, 

    don't 
    act 
    too cock- 
    sure 

    Or your 
    ship 
    may 
    be 
    wrecked 

    and you'll 
    sail 
    her no 
    more 

    Sail 
    her 
    no 
    Verse 4
    more, 
    boys, 
    sail 
    her no 
    more 

    Or your 
    ship 
    may 
    be 
    wrecked 

    and you'll 
    sail 
    her no 
    more 

    Verse 5
    There's 
    pirates 
    in 
    waiting 

    and 
    storms 
    to be 
    tamed 

    The 
    shoals 
    all bear 
    names 
    of 
    the 

    boats 
    that they 
    claimed 

    But 
    under 
    our 
    feet 
    the warm 

    waters 
    that 
    roll 

    Are 
    blue 
    as 
    cut 
    sapphires 

    and shining 
    like 
    gold 

    Verse 6
    Shining 
    like 
    gold, 
    boys, 
    shining 
    like 
    gold 

    As 
    blue 
    as 
    cut 
    sap
    phires 
    and 
    shining 

    like 
    gold 

    Verse 7

    Now our 
    cargo 
    is loaded 
    and we 

    catch 
    the dawn 
    tide 

    I can 
    bare 
    see 
    the 
    vessels 

    I 
    race 
    for 
    the prize 

    In the 
    docks 
    back 
    in 
    London, 

    they 
    wait 
    for 
    to 
    see 

    The 
    sails 
    of 
    our 
    clipper 

    and the 
    first 
    stalk 
    of 
    tea 

    First 
    stalk 
    of 
    Verse 8
    tea, 
    boys, 
    first 
    stalk 
    of 
    tea 

    For the 
    sails 
    of our 
    clipper 
    and the 

    first 
    stalk 
    of 
    tea 

    Verse 9
    Catching 
    the 
    westerly's haul 
    every 
    hand 

    Pile 
    on 
    the topsail, 

    give all 
    she can 
    stand 

    For 
    heart 
    then 
    for 
    home, 

    I 
    hear 
    calling 
    me 
    on 

    And there's 
    naught 
    like 
    a 
    clipper, 

    just 
    rolling 
    along 

    Rolling 
    Verse 10
    along, 
    boys, 
    rolling 
    along 

    And there's 
    naught 
    like 
    a 

    clipper 
    just 
    rolling 
    along 

    Rolling 
    Verse 11
    along, 
    boys, 
    rolling 
    along 

    And 
    there's 
    naught 
    like 
    a 

    clipper 
    just 
    rolling 
    along

      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

      "

      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 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.
