    Verse 1
    never 
    use 
    to 

    miss 
    the chance 

    To climb 
    upon 
    his 
    knee 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    many 
    tales 

    of life 
    upon 
    the sea 

    Verse 2
    We'd 
    go 
    sailing 
    back 

    on 
    barkentines 

    And 
    talk 
    of things 
    he 
    did 

    Tomorrow 
    just 
    day 
    away 

    for the 
    captain 
    and 
    the 
    kid 

    Verse 3

    His 
    world 
    had 
    gone 
    from 
    sailing 
    ships 

    To 
    raking 
    mom's 
    back 
    yard 

    He 
    never 
    could 
    ad
    just 
    to 
    land 

    Although 
    He 
    tried 
    so 
    hard 

    Verse 4
    We both 
    were 
    growing 
    older 
    then 

    Wiser 
    with 
    our 
    years 

    That's 
    when I 
    came 
    to understand 

    The course 
    his 
    heart 
    still 
    steers 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    He died 
    about 
    a month 
    ago 

    While 
    winter 
    filled 
    the 
    air 

    And 
    though I 
    cried, 
    was 
    so 
    proud 

    To love 
    a man 
    so 
    rare 

    Verse 6
    He's somewhere 
    on 

    the ocean 
    now 

    The 
    place 
    he 
    ought 
    to be 

    With 
    one 
    hand 
    on 

    the 
    starboard 
    rail 

    He's 
    waving 
    back 
    at me 

    Verse 7

    never 
    use 
    to 
    miss 
    the chance 

    To climb 
    upon 
    his 
    knee 

    And 
    listen 
    to 
    his 
    many 
    tales 

    of 
    life 
    upon 
    the sea 

    Verse 8
    We'd 
    go 
    sailing 
    back 

    on 
    barkentines 

    Talk 
    of 
    things 
    he 
    did 

    The world 
    was just 
    day 
    away 

    for the cap
    tain 
    and 
    the 
    kid 

    Verse 9
    For 
    the cap
    tain

    • 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.
