My Name Is Liza Kalvelage easy guitar chords by
Pete Seeger
Pete Seeger

N/A
Verse 1
D

My name is Lisa Kalvelage, I
A
D

was born in Nuremberg
G

And when the trials were held
D

there nineteen years ago

It seemed to me ridiculous to
A
D

hold a nation all to blame
G

For the horrors that the world did undergo
D
A

A short while later when I
D

applied to be a G. I. bride
G

An American consular
D

official questioned me
A

He refused my exit permit,
D

said my answers did not show
G

I'd learned my lesson about responsibility.
D

Verse 2
D

Thus suddenly I was forced to
A
D

start thinking on this theme
G

And when later I was permitted to emigrate
D

I must have been asked a hundred
A
D

times where I was and what I did
G
D

In those years when Hitler ruled our state
A
D

I said I was a child or at most a teen-ager
G

But But that only extended the questioning
D
A

They'd ask, where were my parents,
D

my father, my mother
G

And to this I could answer

not a thing.
D
Verse 3


The seed planted there at
A
D

Nuremberg in 1947
G
D

Started to sprout and to grow

Gradually I understood what that
A
D

verdict meant to me
G

When there are crimes that I
D

can see and I can know
A

And now I also know what it is to
D

be charged with mass guilt
G
D

Once in a lifetime is enough for me
A
D

No, I could not take it for a second time
G

And that is why I am here today.
D
Verse 4


The events of May 25th, the
A
D

day of our protest,
G

Put a small balance weight
D

on the other side

Hopefully,
A
D

someday my contribution to peace
G
D

Will help just a bit to turn the tide
A
D

And perhaps I can tell my children six
G
D

And later on their own children
A
D

That at least in the future they

need not be silent
G

When they are asked,

"Where was your mother, when?"
D

  • 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.
