Verse 1
Thank you.
G
John Butler has
entered the building.
We all lost you there for a minute,
didn't we?
Yes, isn't that funny?
Follow the gazes.
That's John.
In the middle of the song,
we're just looking out
Bm
and everyone's going...
G
It's happened a lot on this
tour.
We were checking at the airport
the other day
and I was talking to the guy
and he was, you know, yes ma 'am,
please put your bags on
and you're a bit overweight.
I mean, the baggage was.
No, and he put the bags through
and then he suddenly went...
And he went to the woman
next to him.
It's John Butler.
And I watched him
and he just sort of forgot about me.
like I'm done
There's your boarding pass miss
and and he just sat there
and he was visibly shaking his boots
and John came
D
G
It's the next in line. He goes
Can I help you sir?
We'd like to invite John on stage
to play a song for us
this is sung by Paul Kelly

An eight year long story of power and pride

British Lord Vestey and

full of money and muscle
D

Beef was his business,
Em
Bm
D
broad was his door
G
Em
Bm
D
Vincent was lame, he spoke very little
Bm
G
Em
He had no bank balance,
Bm
D
hard dirt was his floor

Gorinji were working for
Bm
D
nothing but rations
G
For once they had gathered
Em
Bm
D
the wealth of the land
G
Em
And daily the pressures got
Bm
tighter and tighter
D
G
Em
Bm
Garinger decided they must take a stand
D
G
Em
They got their swags and they
Bm
G
D
started off walking
G
Em
And at Waddy Creek they
Bm
sat themselves down
D
G
Em
Now it don't sound like much
Bm
D
but they sure got tons talking
G
Em
Back at the homestead and
Bm
then in the town

Seven quid a week,

Vincent said, nah -uh,

We're sitting right here
Em

Vestiman rode and the Ves

You don't stand a chance

So Vincent Langari,
Bm
D
he boarded an airplane,
G
Em
Bm
he landed in Sydney, a big city of lights.
D
G
Em
And daily he went round
Bm
softly speaking his story
D
G
Em
To all types of men,
Bm
D
from all walks of life
G
And Vincent sat down
Bm
with those big politicians
D
G
Em
They said, look mate, this affair,
Bm
it's a matter of state
D
G
Let us sort it out
Em
Bm
while your people go hungry

Vincent Langari,

he returned in an airplane
D
G
Back to his country,
Em
Bm
once more to sit down
D
G
Em
He told his people,
Bm
let the stars keep on turnin'
D
G
Em
We got friends in the south,
Bm
D
in the cities and towns
G
Em
Eight years went by,
Bm
D
eight long years of waitin'
G
Till one day a tall stranger
Em
Bm
appeared in the land
D
G
His name was Whitlam,
Em
Bm
and he came to great ceremony
D
G
Through Vincent's fingers,
Em
Bm
throwing a handful of sand
D

not move a people

Who know where they stand

And stand in their love

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.”
