Manyura Manyah easy guitar chords by

Verse 1
C
During the last year,
my family and me,
we tried to do just that.
We traveled around the world
and sang to people
in about two dozen different countries.
B
C
An d I tried to give them a taste of,
just a hint of,
the different kinds of people
that live in these United States.
And I also tried to sing at least one song
in their language
because, you know, Americans have a kind of a
bad reputation throughout the world
that we don't ever extend ourself
to try and learn their language.
We seem to always expect
that they've got to learn our language.
So I found myself trying to sing,
although I couldn't do it too well,
in Japanese and Indonesian,
Eb
C
Hindi, Swahili, Yoruba, Hebrew, Italian,
Russian, Polish, Czech.
Now of course I can't really sing those
songs.
I'm not gonna try even here to sing
them.
I'd make a damn fool of myself.
I remember Mahalia Jackson
once told me, she says, Pete
I love to hear people sing their
own songs
because they can sing them so much better
than anybody else.
But there was one country we visited
which spoke a language
a little bit like English and I
I thought I'd try singing one
of their songs.
We were up in Glasgow, Scotland
and I heard a young fellow
named Matt McGinn
sing a song he'd
written himself.
Now I can't pronounce the
words exactly right
but I'll do my best.
It can't be translated into English
you know you lose the poetry
when you try and translate it.
Matt McGinn says this
is a song
about the transport revolution
that has changed Glasgow into
a one -horse tun.
Tun is the way they say town.
Town, down, around.
In Glasgow they say tun, dun, run.
I've heard men complain
G
for the jobs that they deign
C
while hawking the coal or digging the drain
but whoever they are
there is none that compare
G
C
with a man that's a shoveling
D
C
Em
C
manure ammonia
It's a sweet chorus,
you can help me out on it.
Ah, the streets o 'er the Tyne
were a -covered a -run
With stuff that was beautiful,
golden and brun
It was put there, of course,
by a big Clydesdale horse
And its name was Maneura Maneura
D
C
Manea, we Maneura Manea
I followed its track with a shovel and sack
And as often as no
with a pain in me back
It was all for the rent,
and the beautiful scent.
Oh maniora, maniora.
Maniora mania.
Everybody.
Oui maniora mania.
G
Oui maniora mania.
C
Oui maniora maniora.
But I'm feeling so sore,
G
C
for me job's been took o 'er
and everything new is mechanical power.
And there's not left for me
but the sweet memory of Manura,
Manura,
D
C
Manura, Manura.
Em
C
Once more, with feeling.
We're Maniola, Mania.
G
We're Maniola, Mania.
C
We're Ma niola, Maniola.
Maniola, Mania.
C
Ah
C

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

“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
