Verse 1
G
She went down last October
in a pouring driving rain
Am
The skipper, he'd been drinking
C
D
and the Mate, he felt no pain
G
Too close to Three Mile Rock,
and she was dealt her mortal blow
Am
D
And the Mary Ellen Carter settled low
G
There was just us five aboard her
when she finally was awash
Am
We'd worked like hell to save her,
C
D
all heedless of the cost
G
And the groan she gave as she went down,
it caused us to proclaim
Am
D
G
That the Mary Ellen Carter would rise again

Verse 2
G
Well, the owners wrote her off,
C
D
G
not a nickel would they spend
Am
"She gave twenty years of service, boys,
C
D
then met her sorry end
G
But insurance paid the loss to us,
C
D
G
so let her rest below"
Am
Then they laughed at us
D
and said we had to go
G
But we talked of her all winter,
C
D
G
some days around the clock
Am
She's worth a quarter million,
C
D
afloat and at the dock
G
And with every jar that hit the bar,
C
D
G
we swore we would remain
Am
D
G
And make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

Will make the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

Verse 3
G
All spring, now, we've been with her
C
D
G
on a barge lent by a friend
Am
Three dives a day in hard hat suit
C
D
and twice I've had the bends
G
Thank God it's only sixty feet
C
D
G
and the currents here are slow
Am
D
Or I'd never have the strength to go below
G
But we've patched her rents,
stopped her vents,
C
D
G
dogged hatch and porthole down
Am
Put cables to her, 'fore and aft
C
D
and birded her around
G
Tomorrow, noon, we hit the air
C
D
G
and then take up the strain
Am
D
G
And watch the Mary Ellen Carter rise again

Verse 4
G
For we couldn't leave her there,
C
D
G
you see, to crumble into scale
Am
She'd saved our lives so many times,
C
D
living through the gale
G
And the laughing, drunken rats
C
D
G
who left her to a sorry grave
Am
D
They won't be laughing in another day
G
And you, to whom adversity
C
D
G
has dealt the final blow
Am
With smiling bastards lying to you
C
D
everywhere you go
G
Turn to, and put out all your strength
C
D
G
of arm and heart and brain
Am
D
G
And like the Mary Ellen Carter, rise again

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
