Verse 1
Dm
Am
Em
You all remember the town
F
C
of Harpers Ferry, Virginia
G
Am
But no one remembers now
F
E
who stood and watched that day
Am
Em
The mob kept on drinking,
F
till John Brown's body was swinging
C
G
And Booth, the actor,
Am
was thinking about what
F
E
part he might play
Am
Em
D
To put on a play,
F
E
John Wilkes, is that your
Am
Em
D
If you find a state,
F
E
you better hope your friends
Em
are waiting in Maryland.
Am
Em
You had hope to follow,
F
C
but you'll always live in your
G
brother's shadow.
Am
So what have you got to show?
F
What can you call your own?
E
Am
Em
Well, let's see, some southern swagger
F
C
A derringer and a dagger
G
Am
The un sure nerve of a bragger
F
E
The strength to trigger a gun
Am
Em
D
F
To put on a play John Wilkes,
E
is that your plan?
Am
Em
D
Well, if you find a stay,
F
E
you'd better hope your friends are waiting,
your friends are waiting
G
D
You ride the fastest mare in town,
F
and even with a crippled leg
E
You burst from the alley
Am
F
and begin a gallop through the dark
G
Muddy, un finished streets
E
Am
that take you to the riverside
Em
F
C
G
Am
F
E
F
G
It's a wise route you choose
F
C
G
The bridge keep has yet to hear the news
Em
Am
D
And that far bank, that misty marshland
G
F
Is the South, the South
Am
E
Em
Ten days you shake and shiver
F
C
Like a rat by the river
G
Am
No one comes to deliver you
F
E
From the country's rage
Am
Em
And though the country's torn in two
F
Either side could have
C
G
told you
Am
Shakespearean tragedy
F
E
Belongs on the stage
Am
Em
D
F
To put on a play John Wilkes,

You better hope your friends
Are waiting in Maryland,

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
