    the fastest 

    ship 
    that ever sailed

    On 
    her deck 
    were guns 
    as big as 
    steers 

    and 
    shells 
    as big as 
    trees

    Out of 
    the cold 
    and foggy 
    night came 
    the 

    British 
    ship, the

    And

    British 
    seaman, 

    he 
    knew 
    and understood 

    They 
    had to 
    sink 
    the Bismarck, 

    the 
    terror 
    of the 
    sea 

    Stop those

    steers 
    and those 

    shells 
    as big as 
    trees

    the 
    world 
    depends 
    on us 

    Hit 
    the decks 
    a-runnin' boys

    "We 
    gotta 
    sink the 
    Bismarck"

    had cleared away, 

    the 
    mighty 
    Hood went 
    down

    For six 
    long days 
    and weary nights 

    they 
    tried to 
    find 
    her 
    trail 

    Churchill 
    told 
    the people 
    "put 

    every 
    ship 
    a-sail 

    'Cause 
    'Cause 
    somewhere 
    on that 

    ocean 
    I know she's 
    gotta 
    be 

    We 
    gotta 
    sink the 
    Bismarck 
    to the 

    bottom 
    of the 
    sea"

    boys

    hours 
    away from 
    homeland 
    the

    made its 
    run 

    The admiral 
    of the 
    British fleet 
    said 

    "turn those 
    bows

      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.

      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.
