    • Verse 1
    One 
    morning 
    in 

    June, 
    said 
    the boatman 
    to 
    me, 

    Let 
    me teach 
    you to 
    dive, 

    with 
    tank 
    on 
    or 
    free, 

    When 
    you 
    can 
    frolic 
    far 
    under 
    the 
    sea, 

    Away 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    So 
    I 
    put 
    on 
    his 
    flipper
    s, 

    I 
    flipped 
    like 
    a 
    frog, 

    Put 
    on 
    his 
    mask, 
    I 
    looked 
    like 
    a 
    hog, 

    Put 
    on 
    his tank 
    and 
    I sank 
    like 
    a 
    log 
    away, 

    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    So 
    I 
    pan
    icked 
    and 
    gasped 

    and 
    I floundered 
    in fright. 

    The 
    mud 
    turned 
    the 
    water 

    as 
    black 
    as 
    the 
    night. 

    I was 
    certain 
    that 
    boat
    man 
    had 
    done 
    it for 
    spite 
    away, 

    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    As 
    the 
    water 
    got 
    clear, 

    a small 
    shark 
    swam 
    my 
    way. 

    I 
    floated 
    in 
    shock, 
    having little 
    to 
    say 

    The 
    white 
    of his 
    teeth, 

    I 
    remember 
    this 
    day 

    Away 
    down, 
    down, 
    down 

    With 
    a 
    flip 
    of 
    his 
    flipper 
    he 
    figured 
    my 
    size 

    And 
    sneered 
    and 
    swam 
    off 

    with 
    contempt 
    in 
    his eyes 

    I 
    swal
    lowed 
    my 
    pride, 
    you'll 
    agree 
    it 
    was 
    wise, 

    away 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    Then 
    all 
    of 
    a 
    sudden 
    my 
    face 
    felt 
    a 
    chill, 


    The faceplate 
    with icy 
    sea 
    water 
    did 
    fill, 

    O 

    Lord, 
    how 
    I 
    prayed 
    I 
    could grow 
    me 
    a 
    gill, 

    away 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    I 
    kicked 
    and 
    I 
    paddled, 
    oh 

    Lord, 
    what 
    a scare 

    Right 
    straight 
    for 
    the surface, 
    in haste 
    I 

    did 
    tear 

    So 
    fast 
    I 
    went 
    flying 
    ten 
    feet 
    through 
    the 

    air 

    Away 
    down, 
    down, 
    down 

    My 
    eardrums 
    were 
    punctured, 

    I 
    suffered 
    the 
    bends 

    Says 
    the 
    boatman, 

    you'll 
    learn 
    how 
    a 
    diver 
    as
    cends 

    He 
    sold 
    me 
    his gear 
    at 
    half 
    price 
    for 
    a 
    men's 

    A 
    way 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    I 
    know 
    now 
    that 
    man 
    underwater 
    is 
    cursed, 

    Still 
    I 
    descend, 

    though expect
    ing 
    the 
    worst, 

    For life 
    holds 
    no 
    thrill 
    till 
    I'm 
    fully 
    immersed, 

    A 
    way down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    you

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
