    Verse 1
    Some 
    birds' 
    feathers 

    are 
    too

    colorful

    your 
    gate 
    now,

    put 
    down 
    my 
    load 

    So 
    can

    back 
    to 
    my 
    home

    Sun 
    beatin' 
    down, 

    my 
    legs 
    can't 
    seem 
    to 
    stand 

    There's 
    boss 
    man 
    at 
    turnrow 

    with 
    rifle 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    I've 
    got 
    nine 
    children, 
    nothin' 
    in 
    the 
    pan 

    My

    died 
    hungry 

    while 
    was 
    plowin' 
    land

    'cause 
    my 
    spirit's 
    not

    take 
    away 
    these 
    chains

    me 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    Can't 
    see 
    when 
    go 
    to 
    work, 

    can't 
    see 
    when 
    get 
    off 

    How 
    do 
    you 
    expect 
    man 
    not 
    to 
    get 
    lost? 

    Every 
    year 
    just 
    keep 
    getting 
    deeper 
    in 
    debt 

    If 
    there's 
    happy 
    day, 
    Lord, 

    haven't 
    seen 
    one 
    yet

    'em 
    away, 
    Lord

    Lord 
    take 
    away 
    these 
    chains 
    from

    Verse 4
    Land 
    that 
    love 
    is 
    the 
    land 
    that 
    I'm 
    workin' 

    But 
    it's 
    hard 
    to 
    love 
    it 
    all 
    the 
    time 

    when 
    your 
    back 
    is 
    a-hurtin' 

    Gettin' 
    too 
    old 
    now 
    to 
    push 
    this 
    here 
    plow 

    Please 
    let 
    me 
    lay

    look 
    at 
    the 
    clouds

    spirit's 
    not 
    free 

    Lord 
    take 
    away 
    these 
    chains 
    from 
    me 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 5
    Land 
    that 
    know 
    is 
    where 
    two 
    rivers 
    collide 

    The 
    Brazos, 
    the 
    Navaso 
    and 
    the 
    big 
    blue 
    sky 

    Flood 
    plains, 
    freight 
    trains, 

    watermelon 
    vines 

    Of 
    any 
    place 
    on 
    God's 
    green 
    earth, 

    this 
    is 
    where 
    choose 
    to 
    die

    'em 
    away, 
    take 
    'em 
    away, 
    Lord

    away 
    these 
    chains 
    from 
    me 

    My 
    heart 
    is 
    broken 

    'cause 
    my 
    spirit's 
    not 
    free 

    Lord 
    take 
    away 
    these 
    chains 
    from 
    me

    • 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.
