America Is My Home, Part 1 easy guitar chords by 
James Brown

Verse 1
G
C
Look here, I'm in Augusta, Georgia.
G
C
My hometown, you know.
G
On the auditorium steps
C
where I used to shine shoes.
G
C
Now I go there, Jack, fill up the joint.
Don't sing a thing
G
C
but rhythm and blues.
G
You see, I kept the faith
because I believed that I could succeed.
C
G
And now I'm a proud member
C
of the brand new breed.
F
G
You can make it, Jack, if you try.
C
Like a good friend of mine,
G
Jim Allison, said, if you make it,
you can make it if you try.
Just keep on pushing, Jack.
C
G
That credit may feel an impression.
C
G
Don't give up. Now dig this.
C
Quit dreaming all night.
G
And stop pitying yourself,
C
or set back, get up and fight
G
See a cat can make a jump
if you get up and try to do something
C
Don't worry about them handouts,
G
go out there and earn it yourself
Don't be telling a cat
C
to give you nothing, be a man
F
G
Like I said before, this is a man world
I didn't have nothing,
C
G
I had to go out and get it
But thanks to all you people
C
because you made me what I am
G
But I showed some initiative,
you seen that I was trying
to do something
C
I was trying to be a man,
G
and when a cat is trying to make it
You gotta give him a hand
C
G
But the catch is not trying to make it,
don't be holding other people back,
get out the way
C
and let somebody do it again.
G
But be ready,
C
that's when I want the kids to stay in school
G
and get a good education
so you'll know what
you're talking about.
You don't have to say what
C
I think
and scratch your head
G
and go through that routine,
don't go through that thing.
C
Know what you're talking about,
turn your back and say
G
I know I'm right, you know,
that's the way I feel.
When I hit that bandstand
C
and started singing and dancing,
G
I might not be the best
but I know I know what
C
I'm doing at that time.
I'd have to ask somebody
G
if I'm doing the right thing because I know I'm
trying to entertain young people
C
because they come to see the show
G
and that's what I'm going to give them,
a show.
C
Now remember this. All right.
G
Now, the band, myself,
C
G
the Flames, the dancers,
our whole entourage of people,
C
G
we've got tours from Florida to Rome,
C
but we won't forget one thing.
G
The United States of America
C
is still our home.
Now, hit it one more time,
G
C
G
C
G
C
man. You hear that?
F
Don't send me no other place,
G
I don't know nothing.
Talk about my home,
C
just give me some Georgia,
some Alabama,
G
some Mississippi,
some New York, and some California.
C
Checkin' some from
G
North Carolina
and some South Carolina and Virginia
C
G
Some Illinois and some West Virginia
C
Some Dakota, South Dakota, North Dakota
G
You see, I can't name all
the different places now
C
If I leave anybody out,
G
don't get mad because I just, you know
C
Just a cat tryin' to keep it goin'
G
Some Ohio too, yeah
C
Some Indiana, Michigan
G
Yeah, I'm comin' from the good Kentucky,
C
Tennessee
G
I'm getting it together, you know,
C
just give me a little time.
G
Y 'all can check it out when
you get ready fellas,
C
I done said what I had to say.
G
Hey, don't forget Washington D .C.

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.”
