Verse 1

Esus4
Em

They live
Esus4

by the sword,
Em
Esus4

but they die of old age
Em

They should spend their last wretched days

in a cage
E
Esus4

Not surrounded by comfort,
E
Esus4

in the ponds of their ilk
Em
Esus4

Your final few statements
Em
A

come sounding through silk
Em
Esus4
D
A

Tyr ant s in spirit, if not by law,
D

devoid of all conscience,
Em

lifting their jaw
D
A

Half -baked Medici without the art,

D

punk Mussolini without
Esus4
Em

the smarts
D
A

Drunk drivers shooting face in the dark,

G

none of them ever in harm's way

Em
E

None of them ever in harm's way
Em

Of course,
Esus4
Em

we've seen their kind before,
Esus4

but never so low and
Em
Esus4

so close to shore.
Em
Esus4

When finally they succumb to their fate,
Em

there'll be multiple thousands
E
Esus4

of victims too late.
Em

They live by the sword,

but they die of old age

With no end in sight,
Esus4
Em

as they step off the stage
D
Em
A

Someone else suffers for every mistake
D

They have and they have
Em

and they take what they take
D
Esus4

Justice for those without means,
A

without ways
D

The one thing you learn is
Em

that ruthlessness pays

They live by the sword,
Esus4

but they die of old age
Em

Should spend their last wretched days
Esus4

in a cage
Em

No end in sight as they

step off the stage

They live by the sword,

but they die of old age you

  • 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.
