    Verse 1
    Oh, 

    the time 
    will come 
    up 

    When 
    the winds 
    will stop 

    And the 
    breeze 
    will cease 

    to be 
    breathin' 

    Like 
    the stillness 
    in the 
    wind 

    Before 
    the 
    hurricane 
    be
    gins 

    The hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    And 
    the seas 
    Verse 2
    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 
    breaking 

    Verse 3
    Oh, 
    the 
    fishes 
    will laugh 

    As 
    they swim 
    out of 
    the 
    path 

    And the seagulls 
    they'll 
    be smiling 

    And 
    the 
    rocks 
    on 
    the sand 

    Will 
    proudly 
    stand 

    The 
    hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    And 
    the 
    Verse 4
    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 
    bottom 
    of 
    the 
    ocean 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    A song 
    will 
    lift 

    As the mainsail 
    shift
    s 

    And the 
    boat 
    drift
    s 
    on 
    to 
    the shoreline 

    And 
    the sun 
    will 
    respect 

    Every 
    face 
    on 
    the 
    deck 

    The 
    hour 
    that 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Then 
    the sands 
    Verse 6
    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 
    watchin' 

    Verse 7

    Oh, 
    the foes 
    will 
    rise 

    With the 
    sleep 
    still 
    in their 

    eye
    s 

    And they'll jerk 
    from 
    their 
    bed

    s and 
    think 
    they're dreamin' 

    But 
    they'll pinch 
    themselves 
    and squeal 

    And 
    know 
    that 
    it's 
    for real 

    The 
    hour 
    when 
    the ship 
    comes 
    in 

    Then 
    they'll 
    Verse 8
    raise 
    their 
    hands 

    Sayin' 
    we'll 
    meet 
    all 
    your demands 

    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 
    Goliath, 
    they'll 
    be 
    conquered

      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.
