    Verse 1
    And so 
    it 
    began, 

    The story 
    how 
    Elzevir 
    would 
    look 

    after 
    John 
    as 
    his 
    own 
    son, 

    And 
    the smugglers 
    betrayed 

    on 
    Moonfleet 
    Bay 

    by 
    Maskew 
    looking 
    now 
    at Elzevir's 
    gun 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    a shot 
    rang 
    out 
    in 

    the morning 
    light, 

    Maskew 
    fell, 
    a 
    hole 
    between 
    his 
    eyes, 

    But 
    it 
    was 
    his 
    own 
    men 
    who 

    brought 
    him 
    down, 

    and 
    they 
    also 
    got 
    poor 
    John 
    - oh, 

    they 
    also 
    shot 
    poor 
    John 


    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    it's 
    a 
    dangerous 
    world 
    boys, 

    Oh, 
    with 
    the smuggling 
    crew, 

    Oh, 
    it's 
    a dangerous 
    life 
    boys, 

    When 
    you're 
    running 
    from 

    the 
    Reven
    ue, 

    When 
    you're 
    run
    ning 
    from 

    the 
    Reven
    ue 

    Verse 4

    And so 
    to 
    escape 
    it came 
    now 
    for 

    Elzevir 
    to 
    pick 
    up 
    the boy, 

    and carry 
    him 
    away, 

    For 
    he 
    could 
    not 
    walk 
    with 

    a 
    bullet 
    in 
    the leg, 

    and 
    they 
    made 
    for 
    the safety 

    of 
    the Purbeck 
    cave 

    Verse 5

    T'was 
    there 
    that 
    John 

    would 
    read 
    one 
    night, 

    The 
    words 
    in 
    the 
    locket 
    by 
    candlelight, 

    For 
    the Bible 
    verses 
    held 
    the 
    key 

    to Blackbeard's 
    hidden 
    treasure, 

    at 
    the 
    bottom 
    of 
    a Castle 
    well 


    Verse 6
    Oh, 
    it's 
    a 
    dangerous 
    world 
    boys, 

    Oh, 
    in 
    a smuggler's 
    life, 

    Oh, 
    in 
    the 
    Days 
    of 
    our 
    Age 
    boys, 

    That's 
    where 
    the secret 
    of 
    the Treasure 
    lies, 




    That's 
    where 
    the secret 
    of 
    the Treasure 
    lies. 

    Interlude 1



    Oh 
    we're 
    going 
    to 
    be 
    Verse 7
    rich 
    boys, 

    The 
    treasure 
    we 
    will 
    find, 

    Blackbeard's 
    bones 
    are 

    dancing 
    here 
    tonight 

    Yes, 
    we're 
    going 
    to 
    be 
    rich 
    boys, 

    the 
    treasure 
    we 
    will 
    find, 

    At 
    fourscore-feet-deep
    -well-North 

    is 
    is 
    is 
    is 
    is 
    where 
    it 
    lies!

      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.
