    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    walked 
    one 
    night, 
    where 
    the 
    ships 
    come 
    in, 

    I 
    saw 
    someone 
    walk 
    be
    fore 
    me. 

    He 
    was 
    quick 
    and 
    slight, 
    though 
    I 
    bid 
    good 
    night, 

    he 
    had 
    chosen 
    to 
    ig
    nore 
    me. 

    I'd 
    come 
    to 
    this 
    place 

    on 
    the 
    run 
    from 
    love 

    In 
    the 
    hope 
    I 
    might 
    for
    get 
    her

    My 
    atten
    tion 
    turned 
    to 
    the 
    running 
    man, 

    in 
    his 
    hand 
    he 
    held 
    a 
    letter 

    And 
    he 
    placed 
    it 
    there 

    in 
    the 
    harbour 
    wall 

    With 
    the 
    star 
    six 
    sailors' 

    wishes 

    Sealed 
    in 
    navy 
    blue 
    with 
    a 
    lie 
    or 
    two 

    And 
    a 
    million 
    homesick 
    kisses 


    As 
    he 
    turned 
    to 
    leave, 

    I 
    could 
    see 
    the 
    face 
    of 
    a 
    priest 
    in 
    agit
    a
    tion 

    Did 
    he 
    fear 
    for 
    thee, 

    or 
    the 
    raging 
    sea? 

    Was 
    his 
    plea 
    re
    patri
    ation? 

    Then 
    I 
    weighed 
    my 
    lot 

    with 
    a 
    parson's 
    load 

    And 
    a 
    strain 
    of 
    one 
    man's 
    calling 

    Where 
    his 
    soul 
    and 
    my 
    heart 

    had 
    been 
    cast 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Yet 
    we 
    watch 
    the 
    same 
    stars 
    falling 

    You

      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.
