    Verse 1
    (CHORUS 
    1) 

    It's acrimony 
    down 
    in 
    the card 
    room 

    With 
    winning 
    hands 
    thrown 

    on 
    the 
    baize; 

    Forgotten 
    cards 
    wait 
    on 
    the 
    end 
    of 
    debate 

    On 
    the good 
    old 
    days. 

    Captains 
    and 
    mates 
    getting 
    testy 

    With 
    memories 
    not 
    of the 
    best 

    And tempers 
    are 
    flying 

    Down 
    at 
    the Sailor's 
    Rest. 

    Verse 2

    Blue 
    eyes 
    in 
    wrinkled 
    Morocco 

    Still 
    search 
    the 
    horizon 
    for 
    squalls, 

    And 
    Zeros 
    in 
    the sky 
    and the 

    watchkeep
    er's eye 

    And 
    the pawn 
    shop 
    balls. 

    The spice 
    in 
    the 
    wind 
    off 
    Java 

    And 
    the bars 
    in 
    Papity were be
    st, 

    But 
    the 
    deck 
    is 
    too 
    steady 

    Down 
    at 
    the Sailor's 
    Rest. 

    Verse 3
    (Chorus 2) 

    And 
    oh...how they 
    talk 
    of 

    the 
    day 
    they 
    arrived; 

    When after 
    the 
    years, 

    all 
    the storms 
    and the 
    tears, 

    Still 
    very 
    much 
    alive. 

    And 
    oh...how their 
    lives 

    were 
    spilled 
    out 
    on 
    the floor 

    From 
    the battered 
    old 
    seabags, the 

    journals 
    and 
    logs 

    And 
    the keep
    sakes 
    locked 
    in 
    the chests 

    That 
    were stowed 
    in 
    the 
    attic 

    [sold at the 
    auc
    tion] 

    Interlude 1
    Down at 
    the Sailor's 
    Rest. 





    Verse 4
    No 
    rail 
    on the 
    mess 
    room 
    table 

    And 
    you're dead 
    if you 
    spit 
    on 
    the floor. 

    No 
    grog 
    allowed, 
    no 
    singing 
    too 
    loud, 

    And no 
    locks 
    on 
    the 
    doors; 

    But 
    there's 
    always 
    a fire 
    in 
    the card 
    room 

    And 
    the tuck
    er 
    is 
    always 
    the be
    st, 

    And 
    they'll 
    end 
    it 
    together 

    Down 
    at 
    the Sailor's 
    Rest. 

    Verse 5
    (CHORUS 2) 

    And 
    oh...how they 
    talked 
    of 
    the 

    day 
    they 
    arrived... 

    So...(CHORUS 1) 

    Outro 1

    • 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.
