Verse 1
C
D
G
Gallants, attend, and hear a friend
D
Drill forth harmonious ditty
G
C
Strange things I'll tell, which late befell
D
In Philadelphia city
G
C
T 'was early day, as poets say,
G
Just as the sun was rising
C
A soldier stood on a log of wood,
D
G
C
D
G
he saw a sight surprising.
As in the maze he stood to gaze,
D
the truth can't be denied, sir.
G
C
Despite a score of kegs
D
G
or more come floating on the tide, sir.
C
A sailor, too, in jerkin' blue,
G
the strange appearance viewing,
C
First damned his eyes
with great surprise,
G
D
G
C
D
Then said, there's trouble brewing.
G
The kegs must hold the rebel bold,
D
Packed in like pickled herring,
G
And they've come down
C
to attack the town
D
G
In this new way of ferrying.
C
The sailor flew, the soldier too,
G
And scared almost to death, sir,
C
Ran out their shoes to spread the news
D
G
And screamed till out of breath,
C
D
G
Throughout the town as they ran down
D
The strangest scenes were acted
G
D
C
D
For some ran here and some ran there
G
And some ran quite distracted
C
Some fire cried which some denied
D
G
But said the earth had quaked
C
And girls and boys with hideous noise
D
G
C
D
G
Ran through the town half naked.
Arise! Arise !"
Sir Erskine cries,
D
The rebels moors, the pity.
C
Without a boat are all afloat,
D
G
And ranged outside the city.
C
The cannons roar from
shore to shore,
G
The small arms made a rattle.
C
Since war began, I'll swear,
G
D
G
C
D
No man e 'er saw so strange a battle.
G
The fish below swam to and fro,
Attacked from every quarter.
D
G
C
Why, sure, they, the devil's to pay
D
G
Among folks above the water.
C
The keg'st is said, though strongly made
G
Of rebels, staves, and hopes, sir,
C
Could not oppose those valiant foes
D
G
C
D
G
The conquering British troops are.
A thousand men with each a pen,
D
Or more, upon my word, sir,
G
C
D
Would be too few, it is too true,
G
Such valour to record, sir.
C
When faced with guns,
G
the red coat runs too fast
for Yankee Legs, sir.
C
We all can see his bravery
D
G
subduing wooden kegs, sir.
C
D
G

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

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.”
