    Verse 1
    He 
    was 
    Captain 

    of the 
    Nightin
    gale 

    Twenty-one days 
    days 
    from 
    Clyde 
    in 
    coal 

    He 
    could smell 
    the 
    flowers 
    of 

    Bermuda 
    in the 
    gale 

    When he 
    died 
    on the 
    North 
    Rock Shore 

    Just 
    five short 
    hours 
    from Ber
    muda, 
    Verse 2

    in 
    fine 
    October 
    gale 

    There 
    came 
    cry 
    "Oh, 

    there 
    be breakers 
    ahead!" 

    From the 
    collier 
    Nightingale 

    No 
    sooner 
    had 
    the 
    Cap
    tain 
    brought 
    her round, 

    came 
    rending 
    crash be
    low 

    Hard 
    on 
    her 
    beam 
    ends, 
    groaning, 

    went the 
    Nightin
    gale 

    And over 
    side 
    her main
    mas
    t goes 

    Verse 3
    "Oh, 
    Captain, 

    are 
    we 
    all for 
    drowning?"came the 
    cry 
    from 
    all the 
    crew 

    "The 
    boats be 
    smashed! 
    How 

    then are 
    we all 
    to be 
    saved? 

    They 
    are 
    stove 
    in 
    through 
    and through!" 

    "Oh, are ye 
    brave 
    and 
    hardy 
    collier-men 

    or 
    or are ye 
    blind 
    and 
    cannot 
    see? 

    The 
    Captain's 
    gig 
    still 
    lies 

    before ye 
    whole 
    and 
    sound, 

    It shall 
    carry 
    all 
    o' 

    we." 

    Verse 4

    But 
    when the 
    crew 
    was 
    all 
    as
    sembled 

    and 
    the 
    gig 
    pre
    pared for 
    sea, 

    Twas 
    seen there 
    were 
    but 
    eighteen 

    places 
    to be 
    manned 

    Nineteen 
    mortal 
    souls 
    were we. 

    But 
    cries the 
    Cap
    tain 
    "Now 
    do not delay, 

    nor 
    do ye 
    spare 
    thought for 
    me. 

    My 
    duty 
    is 
    to 
    save 
    ye all now, 

    if I 
    can. 

    See ye re
    turn 
    as quick 
    as 
    can 

    be." 

    Interlude 1



    Oh, 
    there be 
    flowers 
    Verse 5
    in Ber
    muda. 

    Beauty 
    lies 
    on every 
    and, 

    And 
    there be 
    laughter, 

    ease 
    and drink for 
    every 
    man, 

    But there 
    is 
    no 
    joy 
    for 
    me; 

    For when we 
    reached 
    the 
    wretched 

    Nightingale 
    what 
    an awful 
    sight was 
    plain 

    The 
    Captain, 
    drowned, 

    was 
    tangled 
    in the 
    mizzen-chains 

    Smiling 
    Smiling 
    bravely 
    be
    neath 
    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

      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.
