  • Verse 1
    Oh, the 

    time 
    will 
    come 
    up 

    When 
    the 
    winds 
    will stop 

    And the breeze 
    will cease 

    to 
    be 
    breath
    in' 

    Like the 
    stillness 
    in 
    the wind 

    Before the 
    hurricane 
    begins 

    The hour 
    that the ship 
    comes 
    in

    Verse 2
    And 
    the seas 
    will 
    split 

    And the 
    ship 
    will 
    hit 

    And the sands 
    on the shoreline 

    will 
    be 
    shaking 

    Then the 
    tide 
    will 
    sound 

    And 
    the 
    wind 
    will 
    pound 

    And the 
    morning 
    will 
    be 
    break
    ing 

    Verse 3

    Oh, the 
    fishes 
    will 
    laugh 

    As they 
    swim 
    out 
    of 
    the path 

    And the 
    seagulls 
    they'll 
    be 
    smil
    ing 

    And 
    the rocks 
    on 
    the sand 

    Will 
    proudly 
    stand 

    The 
    hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Verse 4
    And the 
    words 
    that 
    are used 

    For to 
    get 
    the ship 
    confused 

    Will 
    not 
    be 
    understood 

    as they're 
    spoken 

    For the 
    chains 
    of 
    the sea 

    Will have 
    busted 
    in the night 

    And 
    will 
    be 
    buried 
    at 
    the bot

    tom 
    of 
    the 
    ocean

    Verse 5

    song 
    will 
    lift 

    As 
    the 
    mainsail 
    shifts 

    And 
    the 
    boat 
    drifts 
    on 

    to 
    the shoreline 

    And the 
    sun 
    will 
    respect 

    Every 
    face 
    on 
    the deck 

    The hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in

    Verse 6
    Then the 
    sands 
    will 
    roll 

    Out 
    a carpet 
    of gold 

    For your 
    weary 
    toes 
    to 
    be 
    a- touchin' 

    And 
    the 
    ship's 
    wise 
    men 

    Will 
    re
    mind 
    you 
    once 
    again 

    That the 
    whole 
    wide 
    world 

    is 
    watch
    in' 

    Verse 7
    Oh, 
    the 
    foes 
    will 
    rise 

    With the 
    sleep 
    still 
    in their 
    eye

    And 
    they'll 
    jerk 
    from 
    their 
    bed

    and think 
    they're 
    dream
    in' 

    But they'll 
    pinch 
    themselves 
    and squeal 

    And 
    know 
    that 
    it's for 
    real 

    The 
    hour 
    when 
    the ship 

    comes 
    in

    Verse 8
    Then they'll 
    raise 
    their 
    hands 

    Sayin' 
    we'll 
    meet 
    all 
    your 
    demand

    But 
    we'll shout 
    from 
    the bow 

    your 
    days 
    are numbered 

    And 
    like 
    Pharaoh's 
    tribe 

    They'll 
    be drownded 
    in the tide 

    And like 
    Go
    liath, 

    they'll 
    be 
    conquered

    • 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

      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

      Lynae T

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