You say well -meant again,

A
Oriental oils and tea brought
D
down from Singapore
As we wait for my lot to cycle
Bm
G
I say my wife has just given me a son
Em
A son, you cry,
A
D
G
D
is that all that you've done?
She wears bougainvillea blossoms,
Bm
you pluck them from her hair
G
and toss them in the tide.
Em
Sweep her in your arms
A
D
and carry her inside
And her sighs catch on your shoulder
Bm
Her moonlit eyes grow bold and
G
wiser through her tears
Em
And I say, how could you stand
A
D
to leave her for a year?
G
Come with me, say,
Em
to where the Southern Cross
A

rides high upon your shoulder
Bm
Come with me, you cry,
G
each day you tend this lock
Em
A
You're one day older,

But each anchor chain's a fetter

With it you are tethered to the foam
Em
But I wouldn't trade your life

for one hour of home
Sure, I'm stuck here on the seaway

While you compensate

And you shoot the stars

And you laugh at hearts you've riven

But which of these have given
G
us more love or life

You, your tropic maids or me,

my wife.

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
