    One 
    Sunday 

    morning 
    as I 
    was 
    walking 

    By 
    Brisbane 
    Waters 
    I chance 
    to 
    stray 

    heard a 
    convict 
    his fate

    As 
    on the sunny

    ank he 
    lay 

    I am 
    a nat

    Erin, 
    Ireland 

    But 
    ban
    ished 
    now 
    from my 
    native 
    shore 

    They stole me 
    from 
    my 
    inde
    pendence 

    And 
    from the 
    maiden 
    whom I 

    do adore 

    I've been a prisoner 
    at 
    Port Macquarie 

    Verse 3

    At Norfolk 
    Island 
    and 
    Emu Plain

    At Castle 
    Hill 
    and cursed 

    Toongabbie 

    At all these 
    settlements 

    I've been en
    chained 

    But of 
    all places 
    of condemnation 
    And 
    Verse 4

    penal 
    stations 
    in New 
    South Wales 

    To 
    Moreton 
    Bay 
    I have found 
    no equal 

    Excess
    ive tyranny 
    each 

    day prevails 

    Verse 5
    For three 
    long years 
    was beastly 
    treated 

    And 
    heavy irons 
    on my 
    legs I wore 

    My back 
    from flogging 
    was 
    la
    cerated 

    And 
    of
    t times 
    covered with my 

    crimson 
    gore 

    And many a 
    man 
    from 
    downright 
    starvation 

    Verse 6

    Lies 
    mouldering 
    now 
    beneath 
    the 
    clay 

    And 
    Captain 
    Logan 
    he had 

    us mangled 

    On the tri
    angles 
    of More
    ton 
    Bay 

    Verse 7
    Like the 
    Egyptians 
    and an
    cient Hebrews 

    We 
    were oppressed 
    under 
    Logan's 
    yoke 

    'Til a 
    native black 
    lying 
    bare 
    in 
    ambush 

    Did 
    deal our tyrant 
    with 
    his mortal 

    Verse 8
    stroke 

    My fellow prisoners 
    be 
    ex
    hilarated 

    Let 
    all such 
    monsters 
    like death 
    shall find 

    And 
    when from 
    bondage 

    we're extric
    ated 

    Our 
    former suffering 

    will fade from 
    mind

    • 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.
