    Now 
    the time 

    had 
    come 
    for 
    Elzevir 
    and 
    John, 

    To 
    be sent 
    from 
    Holland's 
    shore, 

    And 
    to 
    end 
    their 
    days 
    in 
    pain 
    and 
    misery, 

    To be 
    slaves 
    so 
    far 
    from 
    home 

    Verse 2
    Oh, 
    how 
    sweet 
    the salt

    how 
    bright 
    the 
    sun
    , 

    Oh, 
    but 
    little 
    did 
    they 
    know 
    of 

    the storm 
    that

    Hey

    wish 
    'em

    that 
    them 
    befell, 

    And 
    pray 
    that 
    you 
    will 

    never 
    see

    on 
    Moonfleet 
    Bay!

    was

    a twist 
    of 
    Fate

    with 
    a 
    roar 
    of 
    wind 
    and 
    sail, 

    Oh, 
    the ship 
    was 
    gone, 

    Oh, 
    in 
    the 
    night, 
    they saw 
    a 
    light, 

    Twas 
    the candle

      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.

      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.
