Verse 1

It's a damn tough life, full of toil and strife,

we whalermen undergo

And we don't give a damn when the gale

is done, how hard the winds did blow

'Cause we're homeward bound from the

Arctic ground with a good ship, taut and free

And we won't give a damn when we drink

our rum with the girls of Old Maui

Verse 2

Once more we sail with the northerly gale

through the ice and wind and rain

Them coconut fronds, them tropical lands,

we soon shall see again

Six hellish months we've passed away

on the cold Kamchatka sea

But now we're bound from the Arctic Ground,

rolling down to Old Maui

Verse 3

Once more we sail with the northerly gale,

towards our island home

Our mainmast sprung, our whaling done,

and we ain't got far to roam

Our stu'n's'l bones is carried away,

what care we for that sound?

A living gale is after us,

thank God we're homeward bound

Verse 4

How soft the breeze through the island trees,

now the ice is far astern

Them native maids, them tropical glades,

is awaiting our return

Even now their big brown eyes look out,

hoping some fine day to see

Our baggy sails, running 'fore the gales,

rolling down to Old Maui

  • 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.
