    Verse 7
    Good morning 
    Mr 
    Colston 

    your philanthropy 
    is 
    plain 

    There's 
    hardly 
    hall 
    or 
    street 
    or 
    school 

    that 
    doesn't 
    bear 
    your 
    name 

    It's 
    a 
    golden 
    chain 
    that 
    binds 

    you 
    to 
    a poison 
    legacy 

    No statue 
    or 
    memorial 
    can 
    hide 

    your 
    his
    tory 

    Good morning 
    Mr 
    Col
    ston 

    when 
    will 
    your 
    soul 
    be 
    free?

    Am 
    I 
    not 
    a 
    brother 
    and 
    a man 

    With the 
    right 
    to breathe 
    the Bristol 
    air 

    And 
    walk 
    this 
    pleasant 
    land? 

    Am 
    I 
    not 
    a 
    brother 
    and 
    a man? 

    Verse 9

    Good 
    morning 
    Mr 
    Colston 
    I see 

    your ship's 
    come 
    in

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
