Sixteen Fathoms chords by
Stonewall Jackson
Stonewall Jackson

N/A
Verse 1
D
G

Sixteen fathoms
D

down lies the gold
G

That's almost a hundred feet
D

and the water's cold
G
D

Sixteen fathoms down lies the gold

I ran into Boondock Charlie
G
D

down in New Orleans

He told me about a sunken treasure
G
D

I'd begin to dream
G

All that gold within my reach,

I could do a lot of things
D

I could win the love of Nell,
G
D

the belle of New Orleans
G
D

But sixty fathoms down lies the gold
G

Sixty fathoms down,
D

water's cold, cold, yeah
G
D

Sixty fathoms down lies the gold

We rigged our sails and set our course
G
D

South of New Orleans

But the wind lay low

and the trip was slow
G

To the far -off Caribbean
D
G

Well, our tongues were dry

and the sun was hot

In the Caribbean sky
D

And I began to think
G
D

that Charlie had told me another lie
G

But sixteen fathoms
D

down lies the gold
G

Sixteen fathoms down,
D

water's cold, cold, yeah
G
D

Sixteen fathoms down lies the gold

Well, we put on our scuba tanks
G
D

and plunged beneath the depths

Where a hundred sharks attacked us
G
D

and Charlie met his death
G

I guess somehow that I was

lucky I came out alive
D

But Boondock Charlie's

drifting somewhere
G
D

Beneath the Caribbean tide
G

Sixteen fathoms down
D

lies the coast
G

Sixteen fathoms down
D

the water's cold, cold, yeah
G
D

Sixteen fathoms down lies the gold
G

Sixteen fathoms down
D

still lies the gold

  • 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.
