    • Verse 1
    Come, all 
    you 
    coalminers 

    Wherever you 
    may be 

    And listen 
    to 
    the story 

    That I 
    relate 
    to thee 

    My name 
    is nothing 
    extra 

    But the truth 
    to you 
    I 
    tell 

    I 
    am a 
    coalminer 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure I 
    wish 
    you well 

    Verse 2
    I was born 
    in old 
    Kentucky 

    In a coal 
    camp, born 
    and bred 

    I know 
    about 
    old beans 

    Bulldog 
    gravy 
    and 
    cornbread 

    I know 
    how the miners 
    work 
    and slave 

    In the 
    coalmines every day 

    For a dollar 
    in 
    the company 
    store 

    For 
    that 
    is 
    all they 
    pay 

    Verse 3
    Mining 
    is 
    the most dangerous 
    work 

    In our land 
    today 

    Plenty of dirty, 
    slaving 
    work 

    For very 
    little 
    pay 

    Coalminers, won't you 
    wake up 

    And 
    open your eyes 
    and see 

    What 
    this dirty 
    capitalist 
    system 

    Has 
    done 
    to you 
    and 
    me 

    Verse 4
    Dear miners, 
    they 
    will slave 
    you 

    Until you 
    can't work 
    no more 

    And what 
    will you get 
    for your labor 
    but a dollar 

    in the company 
    store 

    A tumbledown 
    shack 
    to live 
    in 

    Snow 
    and rain 
    pouring 
    through 
    the top 
    and you have 
    to pay 

    the company 
    rent 
    and 
    your 
    payments 
    will never 
    stop 

    Verse 5
    They take 
    our very 
    lifeblood 

    They take 
    our children's 
    lives 

    Take fathers 
    away 

    from children 

    Take husbands 
    away 
    from wives 

    coalminers, won't 
    you organize 

    Wherever 
    you 
    may 
    be 

    And make 
    this a land 
    of freedom 

    For work
    ers, 
    like you 
    and me 

    Verse 6
    I am 
    a 
    coalminer 

    And 
    I'm sure 
    I wish 
    you 
    well 

    Let's sink 
    this capitalist 

    system 

    To the darkest 
    pits 
    of hell

      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.
