    His 
    dad 

    was 
    a miner 
    and his 
    granddad 
    was 
    too 

    There was 
    never 
    much 
    question 

    about 
    what 
    he might 
    do 

    By the 
    age 
    of thirteen 
    he 
    had laid 

    down 
    his 
    pen 

    And become 
    coal 
    miner 
    and 

    Prince 
    among 
    Men 

    Verse 2

    My 
    goal 
    as 
    young 
    lad 
    from 

    a bright 
    early 
    age 

    Was to 
    follow 
    my 
    her

    o down 
    in 
    that 
    cage 

    Fairy 
    lights 
    and 
    pit ponies 
    were the 

    stuff 
    of my 
    dreams 

    Never 
    thinking 
    how 
    hard 
    my dad 

    worked 
    at the 
    seam 

    Verse 3
    Ch. 
    Only 
    a miner 
    killed 
    under 
    the ground 

    Only

    no

    poor

    farewell 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Dad 
    worked 
    like 
    a Trojan 
    his 

    money 
    to 
    save 

    I'm afraid 
    that 
    he 
    worked 
    him

    self 
    into 
    his 
    grave 

    And my 
    schooling 
    was paid 
    for 

    at the 
    cost 
    of his 
    lung

    Dad 
    was 
    an old 
    man 
    at 
    the 

    age 
    of 
    forty 
    one 

    Verse 5
    I nev
    er 
    will 
    forget 
    how 

    his

    lit 
    with 
    pride 

    When I 
    got 
    my 
    diplo
    ma 

    he was 
    there 
    by 
    my side 

    And I 
    try 
    to 
    remember 
    him 
    as 
    he was

    rare 
    moment 
    of

    Prince 
    amon
    Men

    killed 
    un
    der 
    the ground 

    Only 
    a miner 
    and one 
    more 
    is 
    found 

    Killed

    poor 
    miner 

    farewell

    • 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.
