Verse 1
D

The navigator said to the engineer,

I think our radio's dead.

I can hear, but I can't send,

and there's bad weather ahead.
Em
D
Em

The pilot said to the co -pilot,

our right engine's gone.
D

But if we can make it over these mountains,


perhaps I can set her down.

All my children of the sun

Five hundred miles from nowhere

we belly -landed on a river

We bid a quick goodbye

to that ship of silver
Em

Twenty -five piled out the window,

twenty reached the shore

Turned to see our metal birds
D

sink to rise no more

All my children of the sun

We found some floating logs,

we found some sharp stones

We cut some vines and made a raft,
Em
D

it was our only hope
Em
D
Em

The navigator said he thought there was

a town somewhere downstream
D

So now each man tried to do his best
Em
D
Em

to paddle as a team
D
A
D

All my children of the sun

All except one young guy

Who kept arguing with the navigator

He said he'd read about a waterfall

We would come to sooner or later
Em
D
Em

At a river's bend he persuaded us

To bring our raft to beach
D
Em

But a search party found the river smooth
D
Em
D

As far as I could reach
Em
D
A
Em
D

All my children of the sun

Once again he persuaded us to stop

We cursed at the delay

Once again we found the river flowing
G
D

on the same old way
Em
D
Em

We said, shut up your arguing,
D
Em

you give us all a pain
D

Why don't you pitch in
Em

and do your part
Gm
Em
D
Em
D

Be con structive for a change
A
D

All my children of the sun

Still Egghead kept on talking

In that same long -winded way

We said if you won't paddle

Get the hell out of our way
Em
D

We told him to go sit
Em

Far back at the stern
Gm
Em

Then we strained to paddle harder
D
Em
D

And then the river made a turn

All my children of the sun
G
D

One paddler heard the sound of tapping

What he saw when he did turn

Was egghead with a sharp stone

Cutting the vines that bound the stern

With a cry of rage the paddler

Leaped up to his feet

He swung his long pole

Knocked egghead into the deep
Em

But now the logs were splaying out
D
Em
D

The raft had come unbound
Em
D
Em

Like mad we paddled for the shore
D
Em
D

Before we all would drown
Em
D

All my children of the sun
G
D

A search party went out to find more vines

To tie the raft up tight

In twenty minutes they returned

Their faces pale with fright
Em

They said a quarter mile down river,
Gm

we found a waterfall,
Em
D

it's over a hundred feet in height,
D
Em

we'd none of us lived at all,
D

all my children of the sun.
G
D

And that is why on the banks

of a far off wilderness stream,

which none of us,

none of us will ever see again,
Em

There stands a cross for someone
Em

Hardly older than a boy

Who we thought was only
D

trying to destroy
D

All my children of the sun.

  • 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.
