    • Verse 1
    Well, back 
    when this 
    earth was 

    a silver 
    blue 
    jew
    el 

    And back 
    when your 
    grandfather

    's fathers 
    were 
    young 

    Men 
    of these 
    shores made 

    and gave 
    of their 
    lives 

    Pulling 
    up fish 
    from 
    the 
    sea 

    While 
    down 
    in the 

    African 
    slavery 
    trade 

    Stealing 
    young 
    men to 
    cut 
    sugarcane 

    Rum 
    to 

    New 

    Bedford 
    and codfish 
    for 

    Maine 

    They 
    were building 
    a 

    wall that 
    will always 

    remain 

    Oh, 
    the crown 
    and the 
    cross, 

    the musket 
    and the 
    chain, 

    The white 
    man's religion, 

    the family 
    name, 

    Two hundred 
    years 
    later, and 

    who is 
    to blame? 

    The captain 
    or the 
    cargo, 

    or 
    the juice of 
    the sugarcane? 

    Oh, 
    the 

    Dore 
    man, 

    he knows 
    when the 
    riptides 
    will 
    run 

    He 
    sets out 
    his net an
    d he waits 
    in the 
    sun 

    He 
    thinks 
    of 
    his 
    fam

    ily an
    d drinks 
    of his 

    rum 

    And 
    he waits 
    for the 
    cod
    fish to 
    come 

    It's 
    the same 
    goddamn 

    ocean that 
    keeps 
    you alive 

    It can swallow 
    you 
    up, it 
    can let 
    you survive 

    It 
    can heal 
    you and 
    steal you 

    and take 
    you away 

    Like 
    a 
    note in 
    a bottle with 
    nothing 
    to say 

    Now 
    back 
    when this 
    earth was 

    a silver 
    blue 
    jew
    el 

    And back 
    when your 
    grandfather

    's fathers 
    were 
    young 

    Men 
    of these 
    shores 

    made and gave 
    of their 
    lives 

    Pulling 
    up fish 
    from 
    the 
    sea.

      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 🙂

      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.
