Introduction easy guitar chords by 
Yehudi Menuhin

Verse 1
G
Rabindranath Tagore
was born in 1861.
D
Rarely has the observance
Bb
of a centenary
Gm
G
served a more timely purpose.
F
G
In a world of infinite complexity,
straining towards universality,
its jagged disparities
confronting each other at close quarters,
while concurrently its frontiers in space recede to new worlds,
individuals, individual man tends to seek reassurance and stability
in conforming to one or another
restrictive cult or method.
Eb
G
The artist, the scientist,
the politician, the business manager,
rebellious youth, the priest,
or the professor,
Bb
G
each entertain a particular and
mutually exclusive vision
of a well -integrated world,
each embodying some particular uniformity,
whether votes for all or food for all,
A
G
art or science or cars for all,
each time true up to a point,
Bb
G
but invalid as an exclusive principle.
In Tagore, we find that rare
human being,
a whole man, part artist,
C
G
part teacher, part God,
G
and mainly a very great warm
human being.
Tagore, as other great men,
cannot be conveniently reduced
to some slogan or cult.
He, as Beethoven or Da Vinci,
proves that the poet in his ivory tower,
the educator sharing
C
G
and thereby multiplying his
knowledge and experience,
the painter transferring his visions
to us in color and shape,
the philosopher who
C
interprets
G
life's phenomena and mysteries,
the musician in touch with infinity
and the depths of heart and soul,
the humanist compassionate
and deeply understanding
of his fellow men and women.
Tagore proves that these many attributes,
rather than being mutually exclusive,
are in truth mutually strengthening
and can and do indeed dwell
in the same breast.
One of his greatest achievements
was to revive in the people of India
a sense of their own culture in song,
G
in poetry, and painting.
His poems, however, were mostly composed
in the language we share in common,
in English.
The present recording of
songs from the opera Shyama
can illustrate but a frac
Am
tion of Tagore's vast output.
G
It must remain inconceivable,
not only to the wage earner,
Bb
Eb
but to an artist as well,
G
Bb
that men like Bach, Mozart,
A
and Tagore
G
each created works
F
G
which it would take more than one
lifetime only to copy.
His musical activity alone
has bequeathed us some 3 ,000 songs,
C
and he is said to have written a poem
Am
G
every day of his life.
Certainly,
G
contrary to popular belief,
quality is intimately allied to quantity,
both by volume of experience
G
G
an d by competitive standards.
Perhaps in listening to these songs,
Tagore may communicate to us something
of the humanist inspiration
G
which led him to such vast works
G
and great deeds.

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 🙂”
