    Verse 1
    C

    You know it doesn't make much sense

    Bb

    There ought to be a law against

    Am

    Anyone who takes offense

    G

    At a day in your celebration
    C

    'Cause we all know in our minds

    Bb

    That there ought to be a time

    Am

    That we can set aside

    G

    To show just how much we love you
    F

    And I'm sure you would agree
    G

    What could fit more perfectly
    F

    Than to have a world party
    G

    on the day you came to be

    Verse 2
    C

    I just never understood

    Bb

    How a man who died for good

    Am

    Could not have a day that would

    G

    Be set aside for his recognition
    C

    Because it should never be

    Bb

    Just because some cannot see

    Am

    The dream as clear as he

    G

    That they should make it become an illusion
    F

    And we all know everything
    G

    That he stood for time will bring
    F

    For in peace, our hearts will sing
    G

    Thanks to Martin Luther King

    The time is overdue

    Bb

    For people like me and you

    Am

    Who know the way to truth

    G

    Is love and unity to all God's children
    C

    It should be a great event

    Bb

    And the whole day should be spent

    Am

    In full remembrance

    G

    Of those who lived and died

    for the oneness of all people

    • 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.
