N/A
Verse 1
G
F#

I love those who labor.
G

I sing of the farmers and

weavers

and fishermen and miners as well.

Now all you who hear me,
F#
G

I pray you draw near me.
Em
G

Before you grow weary,

I'll sing of myself.

I was brought up in plenty
C

until I was twenty,
G

a joy to myself as but children can be.

A joy to my father,
Em
G

a joy to my mother.
Em
G

The pain of my country
C
G

was nothing to me.

My school days being over,

I became a rover

To Russia and China,

to France and to Spain.

I lived at my leisure,

I lived but for pleasure
C
G

And so, none the wiser to England I came
C
G

I thought it no danger
C

to follow a stranger
G
Am
G

But with time changing

a friend he became

For the joys of a lover can equal

no other forever anew,
C

and yet always the same.
G

Good fortune attending,

we don't lack a living,

our children a blessing,
F
G
D

our joy to renew.
G

But to live amid plenty

can only torment me,
C
G
C

when the wealth of the country
G
C

belongs to the few
G
C
G

I join with the angry
C

I join with a hungry for
Am

long years of anguish
G

the price will be paid to hate

and to I am not a stranger,

I welcome the danger,
C
G

and yet I'm afraid.

For I fear the fate
C

of the rebels and fighters
G

who ransom the future

with torture and pain.
F

As the trial comes near,
G

if I find I can dare it,
C

with joy I will share it,
G
C
G

no longer afraid.
C
G

For I've learned to be angry,
C

I've learned to be lonely,
G

I've learned to be many,

I've learn to be one.
F

Iver know my friends,
C
G

even foes will commend me.
C

I stand with the many.
F
C

I am not alone.
C
G

In the presence of fighters,
F

I find a new peace.
C
G

In the company of workers,

replenish myself of miners
G

and weavers of rebels and dreamers
C
G

when I sing of my brothers

I sing of myself

  • 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.
