  • Verse 1
    A miner's 
    life 
    is 
    like 
    sailor 
    on 
    board 

    a ship 
    to cross 
    the waves 

    Every 
    day 
    his 
    life's 
    in 
    danger, 

    many 
    ventures 
    being 
    brave 

    Watch 
    the rocks, 
    they're falling 
    daily, 

    careless 
    miners 
    always 
    fail 

    Keep your 
    hand 
    upon 
    your 
    wages 

    and 
    your 
    eye 
    upon 
    the 
    scale 

    Verse 2
    Union 
    miners, 
    stand 
    to
    gether 

    Do not 
    heed 
    the Coal 
    Board's 
    tales 

    Keep your 
    hand 
    upon 
    your 
    wages 

    And 
    your eye 
    upon 

    the scale 

    Verse 3

    You've 
    been 
    docked 
    and docked 
    again, 
    boys, 

    you've 
    been 
    load
    ing 
    three 
    to 
    one 

    What's the 
    use 
    in 
    all 
    your 
    working 

    when 
    your mining 
    days 
    are 
    done? 

    Worn 
    out 
    shoes 
    and 
    worn 
    out 
    miners, 

    blackened 
    lungs 
    and 
    faces 
    pale 

    Oh 
    keep your 
    hand 
    upon 
    your 
    wages 

    and 
    your 
    eye 
    upon 
    the scale 

    Verse 4
    Union 
    miners, 
    stand 
    together 

    Do not 
    heed 
    the Coal 
    Board's 
    tales 

    Keep your 
    hand 
    upon 
    your 
    wages 

    And your 
    eye 
    upon 
    the scale 

    Verse 5

    In 
    con
    clusion, 
    bear 
    in 
    memory, 

    keep 
    this 
    watchword 
    in your 
    mind 

    Worker's 
    strength 
    cannot 
    be 
    broken 

    when 
    in unions 
    we 
    com
    bine 

    Stand 
    up 
    tall 
    and 
    stand 
    together, 

    vic
    tory 
    for you 
    pre
    vails 

    Oh 
    keep your 
    hands 
    upon 
    your 
    wages 
    and 

    your 
    eye 
    upon 
    the scale 

    Verse 6
    Union 
    miners, 
    stand 
    together 

    Do not

    • 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.
