Verse 1
Am
Once we were single,
G
once we were young,
and once we were happy,
Am
husband and wife.
But fourteen years married,
G
thirteen years harried,
Am
now I don't care what comes of my life.
G
Am
The first time he lifted his hand against me,
G
Am
G
he knew the blow was hurtful and wrong.
Am
He said he was sorry,
G
put his arms round me,
Am
sorry love, sorry all the night long.
The next time he lifted his
G
fist against me,
Am
G
I thought I'd provoked him, I
Am
was to blame.
G
The next time, the next time,
Am
and the time af ter,
I told no one, cause I was ashamed.
D
Am
G
When anything crossed him, I got his fist
Am
If dinner was late, he slapped me around
With begging and pleading,
G
stitches an d bleeding
Am
Nothing would do till I'm on the ground
G
My mum come in, she seen I was crying,
Am
G
seen I was cut and bruised
Am
round the eyes.
My husband turned round
G
all smiling and charming,
Am
G
Am
says all she does is spend and tell lies.
G
He said I was out with
men every day.
Am
G
He locked me in doors
Am
and tore up my clothes.
My friend heard me screaming,
G
never come near.
Why did I stay with him?
Am
God only knows.
G
If I go quiet, that makes him rage
Am
If I turn and run, he's hunting me down
I says, why do you hit me?
G
He hit me for asking
Am
Whatever I do,
I'm down on the ground
Each afternoon my heart
G
would start trembling.
Am
I followed his journey all
the way home.
His step at the door
G
would nearly dissolve me.
Am
G
Am
When he walked in my judgment was calm.
G
I know there's two sides to every question
Am
I may be wrong and he may be right
But he's got just two ways
G
to settle a quarrel
Am
G
Am
One is his left, the other his right
The doctor says he needs
G
my understanding,
Am
the police seldom challenge
a man in his home.
Everyone knows him,
G
Am
G
no one defends me,
Am
G
Am
after the altar a wife's on her own.
D
G
I wonder, I cry, I pray, I may die.
Am
G
Am
I run up to strangers to
G
Am
talk in the road.
G
Three kids and no money,
so how can I leave him?
Am
I lose my kids if I've got no home.
Sometimes
Sometimes he's loving,
G
sometimes he's caring,
Am
sometimes it seems our marriage
may mend.
G
And then in the night I'm lying
Am
G
and wondering
Am
G
Am
how soon will his fists be at me again.
The last time he hit me
G
he nearly killed me
Am
I thought I was dead and glad to be free
I gathered the kids up
G
and went to a refuge
Am
He grabbed a crowbar
and come after me
Am
When I go out,
G
I feel him behind me
Am
G
Three times I've moved,
Am
he's found me again
Am
If I kill myself, at least I'll die easy
Am
At least I'll know why,
Am
at least I'll know when
The refuge is bare,
Am
the floors and walls echo,
Am
nothing reminds me of comfort or home.
But here I can sleep,
and here I can hope,
here I have friends,
I'm no longer alone.
Thank

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
