We're all at the mercy

We're all at the mercy
Of each other's little whims
And we're all at the mercy

He tears up all the countryside
Stops when he should begin
He drowns when he tries to walk on water
But he never learns to swim

He's an animal but he thinks he's God

Gets him mixed up with him
D
And we're all at the mercy

He was doing fine in 39

Thank God he did not win

He kept playing on his fiddle

As he watched old Rome cave in

He sold love away from his
children's hearts

And told them it was sin

Now we're all at the mercy,

Am
Now he's sitting in the gardens
As the acid rain comes in
He got it covered full of rhino heads
And boots of leopard skin

Am
He got the means,
he make the harvest high
But you can count those
hungry people die
We're all at the mercy
Of the greedy man within

D
So if you're feeling lonely, baby
Am
If you're feeling blue
D
If you listen to your little friend
Am
You know he'll tell you what to do
Verse 12
D
But if you hear his words
and you get confused
Am
Start believing they're all true
C
Then you have just been fooled again
Am
D
Who said we won't get fooled again?
Am
By the little man within
Verse 13
Am
He might recognize the great one
He might understand what's good
But he believes that he can never live
The way they say he should
Verse 14
D
So he puts them in the asylum
Am
And he just throws away the key
D
He keeps the deep freeze inside you
He keeps the deep freeze inside you
And he puts the light in me
Am

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
