    • Verse 1
    On 
    the 
    4th 
    of October 
    1936, 

    was 
    only 
    a lad 
    of 16 

    But I 
    stood 
    beside men 

    who were 
    3 score 
    and 10 

    And 
    every 
    age 
    in between 

    We 
    were 
    dockers 
    and teachers, 

    bus
    men, 
    en
    gineers 

    and 
    those 
    with no 
    jobs 
    to 
    do. 

    We were 
    wo
    men an
    d children, 

    equal 
    in union, 

    Atheists, 
    Christians and 
    Jews, 

    and 
    we 
    had so 
    much 
    to 
    lose. 

    For 
    with Hitler 
    in Germany, 

    Franco in 
    Spain 

    We 
    knew 
    what 
    fascism 
    meant 

    So 
    when 
    Morsley 
    came trouncing, 

    denouncing 
    the Jews 

    To the 
    east 
    end of London 
    we 
    went 

    For 
    I'd 
    met refugees 
    who 

    had 
    fled overseas 

    Ger
    mans, 
    Italians 
    and 
    Jews 

    And 
    I 
    knew their 
    despair 

    for 
    what they'd 
    seen there 

    And I 
    couldn't 
    let them 
    be 
    ab
    used 

    We 
    had 
    so 
    much 
    to 
    lose 

    Now 
    three thousand 
    fascists, 

    their uniform
    s 

    Black 
    had 
    set out 
    to march 
    on that 
    day, 

    An
    d six 
    thousand 
    policemen 

    inten
    ded to 
    greet 
    them 

    by 
    making 
    clear 
    the 
    way. 

    But 
    we were 
    there ready, 

    our 
    nerves 
    they were steady, 

    One 
    hundred 
    thousand 
    in 
    mass, 

    And 
    we 
    planted 
    our feet 

    along 
    Cable 
    Street 

    And we 
    sang, 
    they shall 
    not 
    pass 

    We 
    sang, 
    they shall 
    not 
    pass 

    Then 
    all 
    us young 
    lads, 

    we 
    were sent 
    to the 
    side 
    streets 

    To 
    stop the 
    police 
    breaking 
    through 

    An
    d with 
    swift hands 

    we made 
    strong 
    bar
    ricades 

    out 
    of 
    any
    thing we 
    could 
    use 

    And 
    they came 
    to charge 
    us, 

    but 
    they 
    couldn't barge 
    us 

    with 
    fists, 
    batons and 
    hooves 

    With 
    as 
    good as 
    we got, 

    we 
    withstood 
    the lot 

    for 
    we would 
    not 
    be 
    moved, 

    we 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    moved. 

    And 
    yes, 
    there was 
    viol
    ence 

    and 
    yes, 
    there was blood, 

    and I 
    saw things 
    a lad 
    shouldn't 
    see. 

    But 
    I'll 
    not 
    re
    gret the 
    day 
    I 
    stood 

    and 
    Lon
    don stood 
    with 
    me 

    And 
    when 
    the news 
    spread, 

    the day 
    had been 
    won 

    and Mors
    ley was 
    limping 
    away 

    There 
    were shouts, 

    there 
    were cheers, 

    there were songs, 

    there were 
    tears 

    and 
    I hear 
    them 
    all 
    to this day. 

    An
    d we 
    all swore 

    then we'd 
    stand 
    up 
    again 

    for 
    as long 
    as 
    our 
    leg
    s could, 

    and 
    that when 
    we were 
    gone 

    our daughters 
    and 
    sons 

    would stand 
    where 
    we 
    stood. 

    Was 
    the 
    first 
    time I'd 
    heard 

    two 
    tiny 
    word
    s 

    said 
    by 
    every 
    woman and 
    man. 

    Now 
    I 
    say them 
    still, 

    and I 
    always 
    will, 

    No passer 
    -on.

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
