Rubaiyat (Excerpt) easy guitar chords by
Woody Guthrie
Woody Guthrie

N/A
Verse 1
D

Don't give your money,

not one penny spent
A

To learn the secret of your life, my friend
D
G

One little hair divides the false and true,
A
D

And on that little hair it starts and ends.

One hair, I guess,

divides the false and true,

The false and true.

Find this one hair,
A

no matter what you do,

What you do.
D
G

this hair will lead you to the drinking room
A

and to the wives of your great
D

landlord too. I rolled in pain down on

that sawdust floor the drinking floor I
A

prayed to heaven to open its golden door I
D
G

groaned and yelled how long must I roll
A
D

You must roll here till you are you no more

I wasted lots of hours in a hot pursuit
A

Of this and that argument and dispute
D
G

Better to kiss the lip with laughing grapes
A

Than eating sad, or proud,
D

or bitter fruit I'm glad I went off on my big carouse

And took my second wife
A

into my house
D

Divorced old dried -up reason
G

out of my bed
A
D

Took this daughter of the vine to spouse

What is and isn't I prove by rule and line
A

And up and down by logic I define I
D
G

guess you thought I was a deep wise man
A
D

I never went deep in anything but wine
A
D

My drinkin' door eased open last night
A

I saw a lady with an angel shape
D
G

She handed me a glass of wisdom juice
A

I drank it down and found that
D

the juice was great.

This grapey juice can

prove a billion things,
A

Can make our racial haters dance in rings,
D

Can make our seventy -two
A

fighting priests and princes

Sing sinful songs and tease my
D

king and queen,

Queens and kings both.

Would

God grow my good wine,

then would he dare, he wouldn't dare,

To make my viney grape a
A

trap and a snare?
D

I'd drink my wine and bless your
G

sweet red mouth,
A

If wine's a curse,
D
A
D

well, then who set it there?

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.
