  • Verse 1
    He 
    was my 
    brother

    Five years 
    older 
    than I 

    He 
    was my 
    brother

    Twenty-three 
    years 
    years 
    old 

    the day he 
    died 

    Verse 2

    Freedom 
    writer 

    They cursed my 
    brother 
    to 
    his face 

    "Go 
    home, 
    outsider

    This 
    town's 
    gonna 
    be 

    your buryin' 
    place" 


    Verse 3
    He 
    was 
    singin' 
    on his 
    knees 

    An angry mob 
    trailed 
    along 

    They 
    shot my 
    brother 
    dead 

    Because 
    he 
    hated 
    what was 
    wrong 

    Verse 4

    He 
    was my 
    brother 

    Tears 
    can't 
    bring him 
    back to 
    me 

    He, 
    he 
    was 
    my 
    brother 

    And he 
    died 
    so his 
    broth
    ers 
    could be 
    free 

    He 
    died 
    so his 
    brothers 
    could be 
    free

    • 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.
