    Dressed 
    up 
    in 
    Sunday 
    Verse 1

    best, 

    Canon 

    Dav
    is 
    leaves 
    the 
    rest. 

    Like last 
    year 
    and the year before, 

    The 

    Jew 
    remem
    bers 
    what it's 
    for 

    But 
    the 
    solemn 
    march pro
    ceeds 

    Over 
    pavements, 
    over 
    growing 
    weeds 

    And 
    everybody 
    someday 
    gets to 
    see 

    Better 
    days 
    to 
    save 
    the least 

    And 
    the mayor's 
    robes are 

    torn 
    an
    d creased 

    And 

    Abra
    ham 

    Brown 
    is 
    whistling 

    Britannia 

    Pleasantries 
    are much the 
    same 

    So 
    many, 
    so 
    little change 

    No 
    one 
    thinks 
    to question 
    why 

    No 
    one 
    looks you 
    in 
    the eye 

    Passed 
    along neglected 
    cards 

    Rust
    ing 
    in 
    sub
    urban yards 

    When 
    in 
    ceremonial 
    fronts 

    Round the 
    village 
    up and 
    down 

    Blessed 
    the people, 
    beat 
    the 
    battles 

    One 

    Abraham 

    Brown 
    is 
    whistling 

    Britannia 

    Paws 
    of wild eye, 
    nine ounce 
    reach 

    For 

    Apep 

    Smith to 
    make his 
    speech 

    For 
    all 
    the hatred, 
    stoke the 
    fiend 

    The 
    same as 
    he does 
    every 
    year 

    But 
    then 
    a different 
    voice 
    des
    cends 

    From 
    rusted 
    old 

    Mercedes 
    -Benz 

    re
    cord girl 
    of 
    twenty 
    -one sits 

    laughing 
    in the 
    win
    ter sun

    hear the 
    thickers 
    of her 
    farm 

    And 

    Abraham 

    Brown 
    is 
    whistling 

    Britannia 

    Sat behind 
    the 
    broken 
    wheel 

    Soaked 
    up, 
    nothing left to 
    steal 

    Oakley 
    shades 
    upon her 
    eyes, 

    oblivious 
    to 
    cloudy 
    skies 

    Laugh
    ing 
    at 
    her own re
    grets, 

    smoking 
    homemade 
    cigar
    ettes 

    One 
    man's 
    parade is 
    another's 
    farce, 

    the 

    Emperor's 
    clothes revealed 
    at 
    last 

    Our 
    innocence, 
    like eaves, 
    has passed 

    And 

    Abraham 

    Brown 
    is 
    whistling 

    Britanni

    The 
    pride 
    of man is 
    a brutal thing 

    And 
    fragile as 
    an insect's 
    wing 

    The 
    bubble burst, 
    the 
    march re
    sumed 

    half 
    -muttered 
    outrage 
    solves 
    the wound 

    But 
    as we 
    leave I 
    turn 
    to 
    see 

    The 
    scourge 
    of our 
    soci
    ety 

    Enthroned 
    in 
    her auda
    city 

    lover 
    of cruel 
    mockery 

    You 
    think she 
    may be 
    smiled 
    at 
    me 

    Whatever 
    crown 
    was 

    Whistler 
    in 

    Britanni
    a?

    • 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.
