    Verse 1
    Went 
    to 
    see 
    the 
    captain, 

    strangest 
    could 
    find 

    Laid 
    my 
    propo
    sition 
    down, 

    laid 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    line 

    won't 
    slave 
    for 
    beggar's 
    pay, 

    likewise 
    gold 
    and 
    jewels 

    But 
    would 
    slave 
    to 
    learn 
    the 
    way 

    to 
    sink 
    your 
    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    Chorus 1
    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    on 
    cruel 
    sea 

    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    sail 
    a
    way 
    from 
    me 

    It 
    was 
    later 
    than 
    thought 

    when 
    first 
    believed 
    you 

    Now 
    can
    not 
    share 
    your 
    laughter, 

    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    Verse 2
    Saw 
    your 
    first 
    ship 
    sink 
    and 
    drown 

    from 
    rocking 
    of 
    the 
    boat 

    And 
    all 
    that 
    could 
    not 
    sink 
    or 
    swim 

    was 
    just 
    left 
    there 
    to 
    float 

    won't 
    leave 
    you 
    drifting 
    down 

    but 
    whoa 
    it 
    makes 
    me 
    wild 

    With 
    thirty 
    years 
    up
    on 
    my 
    head 

    to 
    have 
    you 
    call 
    me 
    child 

    Chorus 2
    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    on 
    cruel 
    sea 

    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    sail 
    a
    way 
    from 
    me 

    It 
    was 
    later 
    than 
    thought 

    when 
    first 
    believed 
    you 

    Now 
    can
    not 
    share 
    your 
    laughter, 

    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    Verse 3
    The 
    bottles 
    stand 
    as 
    empty 

    as 
    they 
    were 
    filled 
    be
    fore 

    Time 
    there 
    was 
    and 
    plenty, 

    but 
    from 
    that 
    cup 
    no 
    more 

    Though 
    could 
    not 
    caution 
    all, 

    still 
    might 
    warn 
    few 

    Don't 
    lend 
    your 
    hand 
    to 
    raise 
    no 
    flag 

    a
    top 
    no 
    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    Chorus 3
    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    on 
    cruel 
    sea 

    Ship 
    of 
    fools 
    sail 
    a
    way 
    from 
    me 

    It 
    was 
    later 
    than 
    thought 

    when 
    first 
    believed 
    you 

    Now 
    can
    not 
    share 
    your 
    laughter, 

    ship 
    of 
    fools 

    It 
    was 
    later 
    than 
    thought 

    when 
    first 
    believed 
    you 

    Now 
    can
    not 
    share 
    your 
    laughter, 

    ship 
    of 
    fools

    • 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.
