    Em

    Cursed be the nation,

    of any size or shape,

    Whose citizens behave like naked apes,
    E

    And drop their litter where they please,

    Em

    Just like we did when
    G
    Em

    we swung from trees.

    But blessed be the nation,
    D

    and blessed be the prize,
    Em
    B

    When citizens of any shape or size
    D

    can speak their mind
    Em

    for whatever reason,
    D

    Without being jailed
    Em

    or accused of treason.
    B

    Cursed be the nation
    Em

    without equal education,
    E
    Em

    where good schools are something that we ration,

    E
    Em

    where the wealthiest

    get the best that is able,

    and the poor are left with crumbs from

    the table.

    Blessed be the nation
    E

    that keeps its waters clean,
    Em

    where an end to pollution
    E

    is not just dream

    where factories don't
    Em
    E

    blow poisonous smoke
    Em

    and we can breathe the air
    E

    without having to choke.
    Em
    E

    Cursed be the nation
    F#m
    E

    where all play to win
    Em
    D

    and too much is made of color of the skin.
    E

    Where we do not see each other

    as sister and brother

    but as being threats to each other.

    Blessed be the nation
    Em

    with health care for all,
    E

    where there's a helping hand to those who fall,


    where compassion is in fashion every year,


    and people, not profits,

    is what we hold dear.

    • 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.
