  • Verse 1
    shanty 
    man's 
    life 

    Is 
    wearisome 
    one 

    Though 
    some 
    say 
    it's 
    free 
    from 
    care 

    It's 
    the 
    swinging 
    of 
    an 
    axe 

    From 
    morning 
    'till 
    night 

    In 
    the forest 
    wild 
    and 
    drear 

    Verse 2

    Transported 
    as 
    we 
    are 

    From 
    lady 
    so 
    fair 

    To 
    the banks 
    of some 

    lonely 
    stream 

    Where 
    the 
    wolf, 
    bear, 
    and 
    owl 

    Give 
    terrifying 
    howl 

    And 
    dis
    turb 
    our 
    nightly 
    dreams 

    Verse 3

    Oh 
    sleeping 
    at 
    night 

    In 
    our 
    bunks 
    without 
    cheer

    While 
    the cold 
    winter 
    wind
    do 
    blow 

    But 
    as 
    soon 
    as 
    the 
    morning 

    Star 
    does 
    appear 

    To 
    the wild 
    woods 

    we 
    must 
    go 

    Verse 4

    Had 
    we ale, 
    wine, 
    or 
    beer 

    Our 
    spirits 
    far 
    to cheer

    When 
    we're 
    in 
    those 
    woods 
    so 
    wild 

    Where 
    glass 
    of 
    whiskey 
    shone 

    When 
    we're 
    in 
    the 
    woods 
    alone 

    For 
    to 
    pass 
    away 
    our 
    long 
    ex

    Interlude 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.
