    Verse 1
    Just 
    listen 

    to 
    this 
    song 

    I'm 
    singing 
    brother, 
    you 
    know 
    it's 
    true 

    If 
    you're 
    black 
    and 
    gotta 

    work 
    for 
    a 
    living 
    boy, 

    this 
    is 
    what 
    they'll 
    do 

    Now 
    if 
    you're 
    white, 
    you're 
    all 
    right 

    And 
    if 
    you're 
    brown, 
    stick 
    around 

    But 
    if 
    you're 
    black, 
    whoa 
    brother

    Get 
    back
    , 
    get 
    back
    , 
    get 
    back 

    I 
    was 
    in 
    a 
    place 
    one 
    night 

    They 
    was 
    all 
    having 
    fun 

    They 
    was 
    all 
    drinking 
    beer 
    and 
    wine, 

    but 
    me, 
    I 
    couldn't 
    have 
    none. 

    Cause 
    if you're 
    white, 
    you're 
    alright. 

    And 
    if 
    you're 
    brown, 

    stick 
    around. 

    But 
    if 
    you're blind, 
    oh 
    brother
    , 

    get 
    back
    , 
    get 
    back, 
    get 
    back. 

    I 
    was 
    in 
    an 
    unem
    ploy
    ment 
    office, 

    I 
    got 
    a number 
    and 
    stood 
    in 
    line. 

    They 
    called 
    everybody's 
    number, 

    but 
    they 
    never 
    did 
    call 
    mine. 

    Cause 
    if 
    you're 
    white, 
    you're 
    alright, 

    and 
    if 
    you're 
    brown, 

    ah, 
    stick 
    around. 

    But 
    if 
    you're 
    blind, 
    oh 
    brother, 

    you 
    gotta 
    get 
    back, 
    get 
    back
    , 

    get 
    back. 


    I 
    have 
    built 
    this 
    coun
    try, 

    I 
    fought 
    for 
    it, 

    too. 
    Now 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    know 

    what 
    you're 
    going 
    to 
    do 

    about 
    Jim 
    Crow. 

    Cause 
    if 
    you're 
    white, 

    you're 
    al
    right 

    And 
    if 
    you're 
    brown, 
    oh 
    stick 
    around 

    But 
    if 
    you're 
    black, 
    oh 
    brother 

    Get 
    back, 
    get 
    back, 
    get 
    back

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
