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.”

Alasdair Clayre
N/A•
Intro 1
A
D
Em
Verse 1
G
Captain said to the soldier,
don't you worry ahead
D
Half these peasants can't write or read
Bm
They only want to grow the
corn they need
A
And if a stranger tries to make them
change their ways
G
A
He'll be betrayed
D
And his body will be burned,
Em
either alive or dead
A
F#m
Like a secret book that must not be read
G
Em
By a people who are never
to be taught to read
F#m
Because the book of law and order
D
A
is the only book they need
D
And those who live by the word
E
Em
will die by the sword
G
The farmer was planting
his highest field,
he was sleeping on the hill
D
Captain, Captain,
I've seen their lap,
Bm
I've heard strangers talking
They were making their camp,
A
it's by the dry river that
they're hiding
G
Captain, I can show you one of them
A
sleeping there still
D
Em
Where the dry river runs,
A
F#m
the soldiers took their time
G
Em
He could not breathe or climb,
F#m
D
A
they ringed him with their guns
Bm
Two soldiers scrubbed the
school where he was shot
A
Bm
The poor man, who could not read,
G
A
might read in blood.
D
Em
Mother, mother, see your son,
A
F#m
what do his wounds say?
G
Em
Only he should not have gone,
D
A
not have gone to play,
Bm
Out beyond the streets we know,
out beyond the town,
A
Bm
Till the bullet that he sewed grew up
G
A
in a thousand guns to cut him down.
D
His body could have been cared
Em
for alive or dead
A
He might have written books
that would have been read and read
G
By later generations
Em
who would have learned to read
F#m
D
Because time to grow
A
is all a child's all a world needs
B
Bm
But where could he have found rest?
As a writer in the East
A
Hunted by secret police
Bm
G
Tortured till he confessed
A
D
But those who live by the word
E
Are tried by the sword
Em
G
Here in the easy west
Where he could have lived at least
D
Writing books in peace
Bm
Well fed, well dressed
Out beyond the street we know
Out beyond the town
A
Bm
Till the bullets that he so grew up in
G
A
D
Em
A thousand guns to cut him down
Bm
And yet the dead man
A
still is with his wounds alive
Bm
Will with his wounds survive
A
the dictator's will?
D
Em
And the rich man's mind,
A
F#m
who when he does not give
G
Em
To let the poor man live,
F#m
D
A
will turn and see behind
G
A man with a broken knife,
a man not pure or good,
D
A slaughtered man whose blood
Bm
pays for the rich man's life.
A
A slaughtered man whose blood
G
pays
A
for the rich man's life.

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.”
