The Atomic Talking Blues chords by 
Oscar Brand
N/A•
Verse 1
G
I'm Oscar Brand,
welcoming you this evening to Newport,
C
the storm center of New England.
D
G
I'd like to sing for you
C
D
Verne Partlow's Atomic
G
Talking Blues,
C
D
G
which I learned 32nd hand.
I'm going to preach you a sermon
C
by an old man, Adam,
D
G
and I don't mean the Adam in the Bible,
Dr. Adam.
Don't mean the Adam that
C
Mother Eve made it,
G
D
G
but I do mean the Adam science liberated.
You know Einstein said he was scared.
C
Einstein says he's scared.
D
I get scared.
G
C
D
Green is not my natural complexion
G
C
D
G
Stop the world. I want to get off
Scared of the atom bomb
C
all you got to do is get the
D
people in the world
G
together with you
because if you don't get
C
Together and do it.
D
Well one of these days
you're gonna get shot to hell
C
and that is no future for
D
G
a growing boy
The moral of my sermon
C
I'm trying to say
D
G
is that the atom bomb is here to stay,
it's gonna stay fixed,
C
that's plain to see,
D
G
but all my dearly beloveds are we.
D
C
We hold these truths to
be self -evident,
D
G
all men can be cremated equal.
C
You know, life used to be a simple joy,
D
G
and the cyclotron a super toy.
C
You get born and live and
sometimes marry,
D
and atom was a word in the dictionary,
G
D
but it was one of them four -let
C
ter words
D
G
they're always talking about.
C
And some science boys from every clime,
D
they got together and
they worked for overtime.
G
C
Worked and they worked,
and when they were done with it,
D
harnessed up the power of
the doggone sun,
G
they were splitting atoms.
C
You could hear them in the universities,
D
hey mama, look, I'm splitting an atom.
G
The diplomats are still splitting hair.
C
Then the jingo boys,
D
they put on a show
to turn back the clock on the UNO
G
to get a corner on atoms,
C
D
maybe extinguish every doggone atom
G
that couldn't speak English.
C
Down with fern -born Adams,
they said,
D
G
America's for American Adams.
C
But the Adams International,
spite of hysteria,
D
G
flourishes in Utah and even Siberia.
D
And whether you're black, white,
red, or brown,
C
D
the question is the same
when you boil it down.
G
C
D
To be or not to be,
that is the question.
G
C
It isn't a question of military data.
D
who gets their fussedest
with the mustache Adams?
C
It's the people of the world
must decide their fate.
D
Stick together or disintegrate.
G
It's up to the people
C
because the atom don't care
D
G
He just flits around as free as the air
C
He doesn't give a darn about politics
D
Or who gets whom into whatever fix
G
All he wants to do is sit around
C
D
And have his nucleus
G
bombarded by neutrons
Well I've come to the end
C
I hope I made it clear
D
About what you've got
to do
G
and what you've got to fear
I'm finished now
C
Here's my thesis
D
Peace in the world
G
or the world in pieces
Thank you.

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

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
