    G

    With our nets and gear we're faring
    C
    G

    On the wild and wasteful ocean
    C

    It's out there on the deep,
    G

    that we harvest and reap our bread
    C
    G
    D

    As we hunt the pony shores of Herring
    G
    C
    D

    It was an affair and a pleasant day
    G
    D

    Out of Yarmouth Harbour I was farin'
    G
    C
    Am
    D
    G

    As a cabin boy on a sailing lugger
    C
    D

    For to hunt the bonnie shoals of Herring
    G

    Now the work was hard
    C
    D
    G

    an d the hours were long

    And the treatment sure it
    D

    took some bearin'
    G
    C
    Am
    D
    G

    And I used to sleep standing on my feet
    C
    D

    As I dreamed about the shoals of herring
    G

    Now we left the home grounds
    C
    D
    G

    in the month of June

    And for canny shields we
    D

    soon were bearing
    G

    With a hundred crown
    C
    D
    G

    of the silver darling

    That we've taken from the
    C
    D

    shoals of herring
    G

    Now you're up on deck,
    C
    D

    you're a fisherman
    G

    And you're learning
    D

    all about seafaring
    G
    C

    That's your education,
    D

    scraps of navigation
    G
    C
    D

    And you're following the shoals of herring
    G

    Your little old man now,
    C
    D
    G

    boy, you're on the move
    D

    You can swear or show a manly pairing
    G
    C

    Take your turn on deck with
    D
    G

    the other fellas

    As you're searching
    C
    D

    for the shoal of herring
    G
    C
    D

    On the stormy seas and the living gales
    G
    D

    I earned the gear that I was wearing
    G
    C

    Sailed ten thousand miles,
    D
    G

    caught ten million fishes
    C
    D
    G

    As we hunted for the shoals of herring

    And it's night and day
    D
    G

    we're faring
    C

    Come winter wave or winter gale
    D
    G
    C

    Sweating or cold,
    G
    C
    G
    Em

    Growing up , growing old, or dy ing
    G

    We will haunt the bonnie
    C
    G

    • 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.”
