    I cover 
    Verse 1

    the waterfront 

    Watchin' 
    the ship 

    go by 

    I could see 
    everybody's 
    baby 

    But I 
    couldn't see 
    mine 

    I could 
    see 
    the ships 

    pullin' in 

    To the harbor 

    I could see 
    the people 

    Meeting 
    their loved 
    one 

    Shakin' 
    hand 

    I sat 
    there 

    So all alone 

    Coverin' 
    the waterfront 


    Verse 2
    And after 
    a 
    while 

    All 
    the people 

    Left the 
    har
    bor 

    And headed 
    for their destin

    ation 

    All the ships 

    Left the 
    harbor 

    And headed 
    for their next 

    des
    tination 

    I 
    sat 
    there 

    Coverin' 
    the waterfront 


    Verse 3
    And after a while 

    I looked down the ocean 

    As far 
    as I could 
    see 
    - in the fog 

    I 
    saw a ship 

    It headed 
    this way 

    Comin' 
    out the foam 

    It must be 
    my 
    baby 

    Comin' 
    down 

    And after 
    a 
    while 

    The ship 
    pulled 
    into the harbor 

    Rollin' 
    slow 

    So 
    triple 
    (?) 

    And 
    my baby 

    Stepped off 
    board 

    I 
    was still 

    Coverin' 
    the water
    front 

    Verse 4
    Said "Johnny, 

    Our ship 
    had trouble 
    - with the 
    fog 

    And that's 
    why 
    we're 
    so late 

    So late 

    Comin' 
    home 

    Comin' 
    down"

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
