Harry Belafonte

N/A
Verse 1
C

If anyone here this evening
G

were unfortunate enough
C
G

to have to visit South Africa today,
C

G

they would find in the large cities like

Johannesburg,

small boys in tattered clothing
C
G

standing on the street corners,

singing and dancing

and playing penny whistles.
C

Aesthetically, this is a very attractive
G

thing to see and to listen to.
C

so cially and spiritually

it's rather depressing
G

because small boys are there
C
G

for the purpose of begging for
C

fa vors

from the more well -to -do
G

citizens
C

and the tourists one can also find
G

grown men
C

many of whom have been

taken from their tribes
G
C

and put to work in the mines.


When they get out they come flooding

into the cities looking for work
G

and they band together
C
G

in groups of players singers and dancers
C

and they compete with the same small boys

for the same small favors.
G
C

The song of the

dance we're about to do

illustrates such a scene
G

in a South African city.
C
G

It's called the South African miners boot dance.

  • 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.
