Verse 1
D
F
D

Now come all you gallant
Am

colliers
D

wherever you may be

Whether you work the Rhondda
G
F#m

or in the North Country
D

All you who tunnel in the rock and dirt
F#m
Gm
G

to earn your pay
D
F#m
Em
D

They say your time is almost done

And that coal has had its day
Em
D

We fuelled the ships upon

the sea

And the railways on the land
F#m

And a hundred thousand factories
D
F#m

Grew up on every hand
D
F#m

We gave the fire that forged
D

the steel
G
F#m

from which the tools were made
D
Am
Em
F#m

And the world we live in,
D

it was built upon the miners' trade

We tunneled under mountains
F#m
D

and beneath the salt sea waves
G
D

The slagheaps marked our victories,

G

the rockfalls marked our graves.
D

We lay in sealed -off galleries
G

and listened for rescue teams.
D
Em
D

And we scrabbled at the coal face

in the lousy two -foot seams.

But the age of coal is ending,

and the new age needs new skills.
F#m

With a fuel cell and atomics,
D

there's another world
F#m
G
F#m

to build.
D

And the men who built the old world,

F#m
D

their kind will build the new.
F#m
D
Em
F#m
D

For a world's not built by power alone,


but by men like me and you.

  • 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.
