    Verse 1
    C

    And then I rose
    Em

    to the top of the world

    And I saw that I was blessed
    G
    Em
    C

    I saw that it was built on the backs

    of the poor and the oppressed
    G
    A

    I saw this endless spinning
    Em
    A

    Of ending up back at the beginning
    D
    G
    C

    Of headlong races to where we sat

    But oh, the places we could go
    G

    if the world was flat
    Em

    And I was tired and defeated
    G
    C

    With nothing turned out as I thought
    Em
    C

    But if I always do what

    I've always done
    G
    A

    Then I only get what I always got
    Em
    A

    I saw the masses yawning stolen breaths
    G
    C

    That they might breathe the next

    Tall drinks, queen ants,
    G

    and half -mast cigarettes
    Em

    The same lives, the same pain

    Lay like embers in the rain
    D
    Bm

    I saw all things invisible that bind me

    When Lady Luck was smiling

    It was that the guy behind me

    Green and brown girls of the sea
    B

    Take me, but don't ever wake me
    Em

    You wanna be free
    G

    You wanna be free
    A

    You wanna be free
    C

    Why are you living in chains?
    Em

    You wanna be free
    G

    You wanna be free
    A

    You wanna be free
    C

    Why are you living in chains?
    Am
    C

    You're living in chains
    G

    You're living in...
    Em

    And I saw my supposed enemy
    G
    A

    But I looked exactly like him
    C

    I saw the boat sinking
    Em

    So I got out and learned how to swim
    A

    I saw the sorrow of the centuries
    Em
    G
    C

    And saw first smoke from the stacks

    I saw bullets being buried
    Em
    C

    in our old man's backs
    Em

    I saw the poetry of the prophet
    D

    But they wallpapered over it, they did

    The same words written years ago

    on the back of my eyelids
    Bm

    I saw tax collectors as

    national protectors
    B

    Tables being turned,

    books being burned

    And bodies washing in from the sea
    Em

    You free
    G

    You wanna be free
    A

    You wanna be free
    C

    Why are you living in chains?
    Em

    You could change it so bad
    G

    We're nothing but a worm
    A

    You want to be free
    C

    why are you living in chains?

    You want to be free, you want to be free

    D#

    While you're living in chains
    G#m
    B

    You want to be free, you want to be free
    C#

    You want to be free,
    D#

    while you're living in chains
    G#m
    B

    You wanna be free, you wanna be free,
    C#

    you wanna be free,
    D#

    why are you living in shame?
    G#m
    B

    You wanna be free, you wanna be free,
    C#

    you wanna be free

    • 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.
