People You Meet chords by 
Bishop Allen
N/A•
Verse 1
G
I met a kid in Brooklyn and he
Am
pointed at the skies
He had liquor on his breath
C
and he had fire in his eyes
G
He staggered at me and stumbled
C
G
Am
and I helped him to his feet
I led him up the stairs and sat
G
upon his balcony
He wielded up his glass and waved
C
G
Am
it around just like a sword
But one more sword of whiskey left
G
me feeling pretty bored
He said, "I'd rather take dead aim
C
G
Am
than shoot my pistol in the air
I'd rather be a traitor than a man
who doesn't care."
G

Dm
Verse 2
Oh oh oh

A man who doesn't care
D

Verse 3
G
I met a girl here in Ithaca
Am
She took to me at once
I look just like her brother who had
C
G
died when she was young
She whispered me her secrets and
Am
she whispered me her fear
And said so many things that I would
C
G
never want to hear
She tried to draw me in just like
Am
a sickness in the soul
And said, "my little confidant
C
G
together we must go
If they ask you for your papers,
C
Am
just respectfully decline
It's true I was born here but this
C
G
C
country isn't mine."
Verse 4
D
Oh oh oh
C
G
C
This country isn't mine
D

Verse 5
G
So listen well son
To conversation
Em
And always take from the words
D

of the people that you meet
If you do this
Better witness

You might help a little still

Verse 6
C
G
And out in California
Am
With an old dear friend
We drank expensive bourbon
G
And we tried to talk again
He looked out at his watch
Am
And ran a hand across his head
Said, "I'm working in the morning
G
Man I've got to get to bed."
I nodded yes of course
Am
And I was happy to oblige
And we both took one more sip
C
G
Before the gray light over skies
He said one thing I remember every
Am
evening in these hills
"The sun may set on friendship
G
But never on your bills."
C
Oh oh
Verse 7
D
oh
C
G
Never on your bills
C
D

Oh oh
Verse 8

So listen well son
To conversation
And always take from the words

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.”
