It won't take too long at all

Three men in a desert wandering

One is knowing and two

Dry in spirit

Now do I print upon the page

To identify the cage

Why does it take so long

And it takes so long

You trying to tell me you don't belong

It was you and you and you

And while the city sleeps so quietly

There is something we must do

And it won't' take long

It won't take too long at all

At noon on one day coming
G

Human strength will fill the streets
Of every city on our planet

G
Hear the sound of
F
angry feet
With business freezed up
Am
in the harbour
G

The kings will pull upon their hair
Am
And the banks will shudder to a halt
G
F
And the artists will be there
Am
'cause it won't take long
F
It won't take too long at all
Am
No it won't take long

Division between the peoples
Am

Will disappear that honoured day
Am
And though oceans lie between us
G

Lifted candles light the way
Am
Half will join their hands by moonlight
G
F
The rest under the rising sun
Am
As underneath the sun and moon
G
F
A ritualed wailing has begun
Am
And it won't take long
F
It won't take too long at all
Am
And it won't take long
And you may say
F
I don't know how to be a part
of what you're talking about

Oh beware you sagging diplomats
G
F
For you will not hear one gun
And though our homes be
Am
torn and ran sacked
G
We will not be undone
F
For as we let ourselves
Am
be bought
G
F
We're gonna let ourselves be free
And if you think we stand alone
Am
G
F
Take a look around and you will see
Am
We are children in the rafters
We are babies in the park
We are lovers at the movies
We are candles in the dark
F
Am
We are changes in the weather
F
We are snowflakes in July
Am
F
We are women grown together
Am
F
We are men who easily cry
Am
F
We are words no quickly spoken
Am
F
We're the deeper side of try
Am
F
We are dreamers in the making
Am
We are not afraid of why

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.”
