    Verse 1
    Long hard 
    years with 
    the fishing 
    fleet 

    I hear 
    the owner says 
    he don't 

    need another 
    bad 
    year 

    Like the 
    five that 
    went before 

    Oil men 
    came 
    and trawlers 
    Verse 2
    went 

    Put up 
    the rigs and 
    put up 
    the rent 

    But 
    we were 
    work
    ing,

    Verse 3
    Shoot a little 

    pool and 
    sing old

    Verse 4
    Starred

    saints we 

    never

    crossed like 

    all the 
    paths we 
    shared 

    Just 
    got a little 
    money 
    in this 

    town 

    And now they're 
    pulling 

    the whole place 
    down 

    Saying 
    it's 
    over, 
    it's all 
    over 

    Saying 
    it's 
    over 
    and I 
    know they 
    never 

    cared

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
