Song For Calum chords by
Peggy Seeger
Peggy Seeger

N/A
Verse 1
D

Oh, I'm a young woman

that's just hittin' forty.

I've a good lovin' man

who's both sixty and young.

Three children we've born,

their young lives we've guarded.


They strain at the leash,

ever ready to run.
A
D

I could sing of a baby,

her laughter and prattle.

I could sing of a son

who is nearly a man.
Em
D

I could sing of their father,

forever a lover,

But I'll sing of the boy
Em
D

who's just twelve and a half.

At running and jumping,

at games of the season,
Em
D

At swimming and football,

the best you have seen.

At arguing, fine points of logic and reason,


His method is one of a boy

of thirteen.

The smile of his mother,

the face of his father,

the tongue of his granny

and a mind of his own.

On every subject he holds an opinion

and he'll swear that he's right

and the whole world is wrong.

He watches me closely,

he gauges my temper,

he knows just the moment

to ask for a lend.

He'll wash the car and wipe all the dishes

And then he'll complain

about making his bed

His face always mucky,

his shoes always dirty

His hair is uncombed

and his jacket is torn

His belongings are scattered

from basement to attic

Yet he knows where they are

like the crow finds the corn

Son of my youth,

so honest and open,

I'm proud of your will,

your compulsion to fight.

Keep raising your voice,

insist that you're counted,

and if you're wrong,

the world sets you aright.

Son of my heart,

thoughtful and loving,

the image of life and as elusive to hold.

Today I am weary,

so man, child, please hear me.

No doubt you're right,

but do as you're told.

  • 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.
