    Verse 1
    G

    (CHORUS 1)

    It's acrimony down in the card room
    C

    With winning hands thrown

    on the baize;
    D

    Forgotten cards wait on the end of debate
    C
    D

    On the good old days.
    G

    Captains and mates getting testy
    C

    With memories not of the best
    A
    G

    And tempers are flying
    C

    Down at the Sailor's Rest.
    G

    G
    Verse 2


    Blue eyes in wrinkled Morocco
    C

    Still search the horizon for squalls,
    D
    Dm
    D

    And Zeros in the sky and the
    C

    watchkeeper's eye
    D
    Dm

    And the pawn shop balls.
    G

    The spice in the wind off Java
    C
    A

    And the bars in Papity were best,
    G

    But the deck is too steady
    C
    G

    Down at the Sailor's Rest.

    G

    (Chorus 2)
    Dm
    G
    D
    C
    G

    And oh...how they talk of
    C

    the day they arrived;
    Em

    When after the years,
    C

    all the storms and the tears,
    Am
    D
    Dm

    Still very much alive.
    D
    C
    G

    And oh...how their lives
    C

    were spilled out on the floor
    Em

    From the battered old seabags, the
    Am

    journals and logs
    Em
    A

    And the keepsakes locked in the chests
    G

    That were stowed in the attic
    C

    [sold at the auction]
    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    G

    No rail on the mess room table
    C

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

    No grog allowed, no singing too loud,
    C
    Dm

    And no locks on the doors;
    G

    But there's always a fire in the card room
    C
    A

    And the tucker is always the best,
    G

    And they'll end it together
    C
    G

    Down at the Sailor's Rest.

    • 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.”
