    Verse 1
    Heavenly 
    Father, 

    could you 
    hear 
    the prayers 
    I offer 
    You 
    today? 

    Some 
    of the 
    people 
    in the 
    parish 
    have been 

    asking 
    me to 
    pray 
    for them 

    They 
    have no 
    strength 
    to 
    help 
    themselves, 

    they need 
    help fending 
    for 
    themselves 

    And 
    we 
    do all 
    we 
    can 
    do, 

    but there's 
    so 
    little 
    that 
    we can 
    do 

    Verse 2
    And 
    this 
    is 
    the worst 
    winter 
    know 
    of, 

    even 
    worse 
    than 
    last 

    The 
    snow 
    has stayed 
    for 
    too 
    long 
    on the 
    ground, 

    and for 
    the second 
    year 
    around 
    now 

    All 
    across 
    our 
    little 
    island, 

    we 
    give all 
    our 
    sweat 
    and toil 

    And 
    still, 
    the 
    crops, 

    they have 
    all 
    rotted 
    in 
    the 
    soil 

    Verse 3
    And 
    all 
    along 
    the 
    western 
    seaboard, 

    they await 
    with 
    open 
    hands 

    For something 
    to feed 
    their 
    children 

    or 
    a ship 
    to 
    foreign 
    lands 

    But 
    there's nothing 
    here 
    to give 
    them, 

    except 
    for chicken 
    feed 
    and 
    sand 

    While 
    Britannia 
    rules 
    the roost 

    with 
    Ire
    land 
    hands 

    Verse 4
    Lord, 
    what 
    can 
    we 
    do 
    now? 
    Oh, good 
    Lord, 

    what can 
    we 
    do 

    When we 
    need 
    to feed 
    so 
    many, 

    and 
    there's 
    not 
    even 
    for the 
    few? 

    Lord, 
    what 
    can 
    we 
    do 
    now? 
    Lord, 

    what can 
    we 
    do? 

    They 
    are starving, 
    they 
    are 
    freezing 

    And their 
    clothes 
    have all 
    worn 

    through 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 5
    Heav
    enly Father, 

    Your 
    people 
    need 
    You 
    more 
    than ever 
    now 

    It's 
    such 
    desperate 
    situation 
    that 

    the nation's 
    in 
    somehow 

    I can't 
    see 
    many 
    pulling 
    through, 

    'cause even 
    if we 
    had 
    the food 
    to 
    feed 
    them 

    Many 
    have 
    disease, 
    Lord, 

    hope 
    You hear 
    our 
    pleas 

    Verse 6
    They are 
    scattered 
    by the 
    roadside, 

    in the 
    towns 
    and in the 
    fields 

    And 
    there's not 
    even 
    food 
    to work 
    for, 

    never 
    mind 
    beg, 
    lend 
    or steal 

    And 
    if we 
    go 
    by 
    the predictions, 

    with 
    starvation 
    and 
    eviction 

    Some 
    two 
    million 
    will 
    be 
    dead 

    before 
    we're 
    through 

    Verse 7
    Still, 
    all 
    along 
    the western 
    seaboard, 

    they all 
    wait 
    with open 
    hands 

    For 
    something 
    to feed 
    their 
    children 
    or 

    a ship 
    to foreign 
    lands 

    But there's 
    nothing 
    here 
    to give 
    them, 

    except 
    for chicken 
    feed 
    and 
    sand 

    While 
    Britannia 
    rules 
    the 
    roost 

    with 
    Ire
    land 
    hands 

    Verse 8
    Lord, 
    what can 
    we 
    do 
    now? 
    Oh, good 
    Lord, 

    what 
    can 
    we 
    do 

    When we 
    need 
    to feed 
    so 
    many, 

    and 
    there's 
    not 
    even 
    for the 
    few? 

    Lord, 
    what can 
    we 
    do 
    now? 
    Lord, 

    what 
    can 
    we 
    do? 

    They 
    are 
    starving, 
    they 
    are freezing 

    And 
    their clothes 
    have 
    all 

    worn 
    through 

    Verse 9

    They 
    have 
    no 
    one 
    now 
    but 
    You

    • 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.
