Verse 1
D

Once
C

an honest man could go from sunrise to its set
Em
C

Without encountering agents
D

of his state or government

But a sorry cloud of tyranny has
C

fallen across the land
Em
C

Brought on by hollow men,
D

who did not understand

That for centuries our forefather
C

have fought and often died
Em
C

To keep themselves unto themselves,
D

to fight the rising tide

And that if in the smallest battles
C

we surrender to the state
Em
C

We enter in a darkness whence
D

we never shall escape
Verse 2

When they raise their hands up

our lives to possess

To know our souls,

Verse 3

C

Watt Tyler led the people in 1381
Em
C

To meet the king at Smithfield and issue
D

this demand:

That Winchester's should be
C

the only law across the land
Em

The law of old King Alfred's time,
C
D

of free and honest men.

Because the people then they understood
C

what we have since forgot:

That a government will only work for its
D

own benefit

And I'd rather stand up naked against
C

the elements alone
Em

Than give the hollow men the right to
C
D

enter in my home
E
When they raise

if

ever
D

a man

should ask you for your business or your name
C

Tell him to go and fuck himself, tell
D

his friends to do the same.

Because a man who'd trade his liberty

for a safe and dreamless sleep
C

Doesn't deserve the both of them,
D

and neither shall he keep.

  • 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.
