    • Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    cruised 
    out 
    one 

    evening 
    upon 
    a night's 
    career 

    I spied 
    a lofty 
    clipper 
    ship 

    and 
    to 
    her 
    I 
    did steer 

    I 
    heisted out 
    my 
    signals 

    which she 
    so 
    quickly 
    knew 

    And 
    when 
    she saw 
    my 
    bunting 
    fly 
    she 

    immediately 
    hove 
    to- 
    woo- woo 

    Verse 2
    She 
    had 
    a 
    dark 
    and 
    rovin' 
    eye, 

    and 
    her 
    hair 
    hung 
    down 
    in 
    ringlets 

    She 
    was 
    a 
    nice 
    girl, 

    a proper 
    girl 
    but 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    rovin' 
    kind 

    Verse 3
    Oh 
    pardon 
    me, 
    she 
    says 
    to me, 

    for 
    being 
    out 
    so 
    late 

    But 
    if 
    my 
    parents 
    heard 
    of this 

    all sad 
    would 
    be my 
    fate 

    My father 
    is 
    in politics, 

    a 
    good 
    and 
    righteous 
    man 

    My 
    mother 
    is 
    an 
    acrobat, 

    I 
    do 
    the best 
    I 
    can

    She 
    had 
    a 
    Verse 4
    dark 
    and 
    rovin' 
    eye, 

    and 
    her 
    hair 
    hung 
    down 
    in 
    ringlets 

    She 
    was 
    a 
    nice 
    girl, 
    a proper 
    girl 
    but 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    rovin' 

    kind 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    I 
    took 
    her 
    for 
    some 
    fish 
    and chips 

    and 
    treated 
    her so 
    fine 

    And 
    hardly 
    did 
    I 
    real
    ize 
    she 

    was 
    the 
    rovin' 
    kind 

    I kissed 
    her lips, 

    I 
    missed 
    her lips 
    and 
    found 
    to 
    my 
    sur
    prise 

    She was 
    nothin' 
    but 
    a 
    pir
    ate 
    ship 

    rigged 
    up 
    in 
    a 
    dis
    guise 

    Verse 6
    She 
    had 
    a 
    dark 
    and 
    rovin' 
    eye, 

    and 
    her 
    hair 
    hung 
    down 
    in 
    ringlets 

    She 
    was 
    a 
    nice 
    girl, 

    a proper 
    girl 
    but 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    rovin' 
    kind 

    Verse 7
    So, 
    come 
    all 
    you 
    good 
    sailor 
    men 

    who sail 
    the 
    wintry 
    sea 

    And come, 
    all 
    you 
    apprentice 
    lads, 

    a 
    warnin' 
    take 
    from 
    me 

    Beware 
    of 
    lofty 
    clip
    per 
    ships, 

    they'll 
    be 
    the 
    ruin 
    of 
    you 

    For 
    'twas 
    there 
    she 
    made 
    me 
    walk 

    the plank 
    and 
    pushed 
    me 
    under, 
    too 

    She 
    had 
    a 
    Verse 8
    dark 
    and 
    rovin' 
    eye- uh- eye 

    and 
    her 
    hair 
    hung 
    down 
    in 
    ringlets 

    She 
    was 
    a 
    nice 
    girl, 

    a 
    proper 
    girl 
    but 
    one 
    of 
    the 
    rovin' 
    kind

      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 🙂

      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.
