    Black & White 

    Janis Ian 

    We were 
    marching 
    from 

    Mont
    gomery, 

    Alabama, 
    '65 

    Freedom 
    riders, 
    Jim 
    Crow 
    heroes, 

    come 
    to keep 
    the faith 
    alive 

    We were 
    picking 
    Southern 
    cotton, 

    regis
    tration 
    for 
    the vote 

    We were 
    one 
    then 

    We were 
    young 
    then 

    when 
    black 
    & white 
    still 

    spoke 

    Now it's 
    all 
    gone 
    to pieces 

    God 
    alone 
    knows 
    why 

    Just 
    a story 
    they call 
    history 

    written 
    down in 
    black 
    & white 


    And we 
    set 
    aside 
    our 
    anger, 

    and 
    we set 
    aside 
    our 
    fears 

    And we 
    built 
    common 
    future 

    on 
    the bed
    rock 
    of 
    our 
    tears 

    And we 
    marched 
    for 
    the chil
    dren 

    and 
    the mil
    lions 
    without 
    hope 

    We 
    agreed 
    to be
    lieve, 

    when 
    black 
    & white 
    still 
    spoke 

    Now 
    it's 
    all 
    gone 
    to pieces 

    God 
    alone 
    knows 
    why 

    Just 
    a story 
    they call 
    history 

    written 
    down 
    in 
    black 

    & white 

    Nothing's 
    sadder 
    than 
    the man 
    who 

    thinks 
    he's 
    free 
    when 
    he 
    is 
    chained 

    to the 
    prison 
    of his 
    hatred 

    and 
    dream 
    gone 
    up 
    in 
    flames 

    Colored 
    only 
    at 
    the foun
    tains, 

    con
    gregations, 
    soda 
    shops 

    Colored 
    only 
    in 
    the bathrooms 

    and the 
    cemetery 
    lots 

    And if 
    Jesus 
    was 
    black 
    man 

    or 
    as 
    white 
    as 
    Sambo's 
    grin 

    it's 
    his 
    words 
    that 
    we'd re
    member 

    not 
    the col
    or 
    of 
    his 
    skin 

    It's 
    all 
    gone 
    to pieces 

    God 
    alone 
    knows 
    why 

    Just 
    a story 
    they call 
    history 

    Outro 1
    written 
    down 
    in 
    black 
    & white

    • 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.
