  • Verse 1
    Fair 
    warn
    ing 

    to 
    your neighbor 

    For 
    all 
    of 
    those 
    who labor 

    At 
    trying 
    to 
    make 
    living 
    underground 

    Matter's 
    not 
    for 
    what 
    you're 
    seeking 

    The 
    chances 
    are 
    you'll 
    weaken, 

    in 
    time 
    the 
    odds 
    will 
    turn 
    your 
    life 
    around 

    And 
    the coal 
    fields 
    of 
    Kentucky, 

    man 
    they say 
    you're 
    lucky 

    If 
    the 
    black 
    lung 
    don't 

    put 
    you 
    underground 

    Oh, 
    while 
    you're 
    swollen 

    with 
    the gold 
    lust, 

    you're 
    breathing 
    in 
    the coarse 
    dust 

    Till 
    Selly 
    Coles 
    has 
    fi
    nally 

    dragged 
    you down 

    Hear 
    that 
    cold 
    steel 
    -ringin' 

    Hear 
    them 
    hammers 
    swingin' 
    low 

    miner's 
    life 
    ain't 
    hardly 
    worth 
    at all 

    Hear 
    the 
    Tommyknockers 
    knockin' 

    Feel 
    a -reelin' 
    and 
    a -rock
    in' 

    Afraid 
    it's 
    gonna 
    come 
    in 
    after 

    all 



    For 
    every 
    miner 
    who 
    hits 
    pay 
    dirt 

    He 
    lives 
    to tell 
    it, 
    aren't 
    there? 

    thousand 
    more 

    are swallowed 
    in 
    the 
    mire 

    And 
    for 
    each 
    de
    cent 
    mining 
    outfit 

    There's 
    a hundred 
    other 
    misfits 

    who'd 
    never 
    planned 
    to 

    see 
    man 
    be
    fore 

    So 
    when 
    choosing 
    your 
    profession, 

    take 
    heed 
    and 
    learn 
    lesson 

    From 
    those 
    who've 
    lived 
    to 

    labor 
    under
    ground 

    Cause 
    they've 
    got 
    a different 
    story, 

    a -mining 
    at 
    its 
    glory 

    They 
    give 
    it all 
    to turn 
    their 

    life 
    around 

    Hear 
    that 
    coal 
    still 
    -ringin' 

    Hear 
    them 
    hammers 
    swingin' 
    long 

    miner's 
    life 
    ain't 
    hardly 
    worth 
    at 
    all 

    Hear 
    the 
    tommy 
    knockers 
    knockin' 

    Feel 
    -reelin' 
    and 
    a -rock
    in' 

    Afraid 
    it's 
    gonna 
    come 
    in 
    after 
    all

    • 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.
