Intro 1
Am

Verse 1
Am

He wasn't born in a cabin

He never fought in a war

But he learned to smile, and quote

Abel

Hickman, and to get his foot in the door

He knows all your problems,

he shares all your dreams

When he laughs, his wife laughs too,

as they ride in their limousines
Dm

So wave the flag and take a stand, stand in line and shake his hand,
Am
Em
Am

he says he's your friend, a friend of the common man.

He's got all the answers,

but good days will be back soon

There's one more stock in a copper mine

And a hungry child in each glass room

So wave the flag and take a stand
Dm

Stand in line, just shake his hand
Am

He says he's your friend,
E
Em
Am

a friend of the farming man
Em

Everybody walks day to day to get by
Dm
Em

Every morning searching

for reasons to try
Am
Dm
Em

Ain't he the friend
Am

of the common man?

He wasn't born in a cabin

He'd never fought in a war

But he learned to smile

And

Colt

Abel

Lincoln had to get his foot in the door

With one hand on the

Bible

He swears he's only here to serve

While everyone says, for better or worse

We get what we deserve

So wave the flag and take a stake
Dm

Stand in line to shake his hand
Am

He says he's your friend,
Em
Am
Dm

a friend of the common man
Am

He says he's your friend,
Em

a friend of the
Am

Bahamian man

  • 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.
