Verse 1
Em
Yes indeed it's oh so
Am
very nice of you to ask
Em
Still I can't help wondering
Am
if I'm equal to the task
Em
Of washing up and getting dressed
Am
and waiting on a train
Em
To come so far to watch the Statehouse
Am
Em
Am
burn down in the rain
Em
Well, the highway's choked with
Am
minivans and traitors heading west
Em
Here I am still wheezing like
Am
a sick bird in a nest
Em
My heart is weak, my face is long,
Am
I'm not up to the strain
Em
To breathe the smoke and watch the
G
Statehouse burn down in the rain
Bbaug
Well I'm not your father
Bm
And I'm not your lover
Em
D
Something is rising

Em
The Governor kept telling us he
Am
was the People's voice
Em
He said the time is high for all of
Am
us to make a choice
Em
Then he jammed his little finger
Am
in a rusty weather vane
Em
And ran out of the Statehouse
as it burned down in the rain
It's easy making plans
Am
out walking in the sun
Em
Am
Any fool can kick an old man down
on the ground and turn and run
Em
But it's gonna take some doing,
Am
yeah, some doing to explain
Em
All the cheers the night the Statehouse
G
burned down in the rain
Bbaug
I'm not your father
Bm
I'm not your lover
Em

Something is rising

Oh yeah

Am
Em
The pillars and the amber waves,
Am
the bannisters and such
Em
All that seemed too far away,
Am
too far away to touch
Em
We never found the numbers
Am
or the language to complain
Em
Am
Em
Until the night the Statehouse up and burned down in the rain

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!!!”

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.”
