    Oh, 
    they're moving 

    Father
    's grime 
    to 
    build a 
    sewer 

    They're 
    moving him 
    regardless 

    of 
    ex
    pense 

    They've 
    dug 
    up his remains 

    to 
    put in 
    five -inch 
    drives 

    To 
    irrigate some 
    posh bloke's 
    resid
    ence 

    His 
    residence 

    Now 
    what's the 
    use of 
    having a 
    religion, 

    if 
    when 
    you're dead your 
    troubles never 
    cease? 

    If 
    some 
    posh city 
    chap wants 
    a pipeline 
    to his 
    privy, 

    he'll never let a 

    Brit
    ish workman 

    rest 
    in 
    peace. 

    Oh, 
    rest in 
    peace. 

    Now in his lifetime, 

    father 
    never was 
    a quitter. 

    Never. 

    I'm 
    sure 
    that he 
    won't be 
    a quitter now 

    But 
    when the 
    job's complete 

    He'll 
    hold that 
    privy seat 

    And 
    he'll only let 
    them 

    go when 
    he'll allow 

    When 
    he'll allow 

    Now 
    won't there 
    be 
    some bloomin' 

    consternation 

    And 
    won't these city 

    chappies 
    rant 
    and rive 

    Which 
    is 
    more than they 
    deserve 

    For 
    having a 
    bleedin' 
    nerve 

    To 
    muck around 

    With 

    British 
    workman's 
    gripe 

    Oh, 
    my 
    old 
    man 
    said, 
    follow 
    the 
    man 

    And 
    don't 
    dilly 
    -dally 
    on 
    the 
    way 

    I'm 
    with the 
    man, 
    with me 
    old 
    man 
    in 
    it I'm 
    for a 
    gun, 

    with me 
    old 
    cockle 
    in it 

    I'm 
    getting 
    it, I'm 
    getting 

    it, I'm 
    getting it 

    I'm not 
    giving, 
    lost 
    my way 

    And 
    don't know 
    where to 
    roam 

    Oh, 
    you 
    can't 
    trust the 
    spaces 

    Like the 
    old 
    -time 
    coppers 

    And you 
    can't 
    find 
    your 
    way 
    home

    • 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.
