    • Verse 1
    Open 
    your 
    hearts and 
    your purses 

    to 
    a man 
    that is 
    misunderstood. 

    He takes 
    all 
    of your kicks 

    and 
    your curses, 

    yet 
    he 
    wishes 
    you nothing 
    but 
    good. 

    He 
    tear
    fully 
    begs 
    you to 
    show him 

    You 
    think he's 
    a man, 
    not 
    a louse 

    So 
    remember 
    the debt 
    that 
    you owe him 

    The 
    landlord who 
    rents 
    you his 
    house 

    Did 
    he, 
    the 
    downtrod
    den landlord, 

    An
    d his back 
    that's all 

    a -burdene
    d and bent? 

    Respect 
    his grey 
    hairs, 

    don't ask 
    for 
    repairs, 

    And don't 
    be be
    hind 
    in 
    the 
    rent. 

    When 
    the thunderclouds 

    gather and 
    darken, 

    You may 
    sleep undisturbed 
    in 
    your 
    bed, 


    But the landlord 
    must 
    sit up 
    and hearken, 

    An
    d wonder, 
    and worry, 
    and dread. 

    If 
    you're 
    killed, 

    then you'll die 
    in 
    a hurry, 

    And 
    you never 
    will 
    know 
    your bad 
    luck. 

    But 
    the landlord 
    must wake 

    up and 
    worry, 

    Has one 
    of my 
    houses 
    been struck? 

    Pity 
    the 
    downtrod
    den landlord, 

    And his back 
    that's all 

    burdened 
    and bent. 

    Re
    spect 
    his grey 
    hairs, 

    don't ask 
    for 
    repair
    s, 

    And don't 
    be be
    hind 
    in 
    the 
    rent. 

    When 
    a landlord resorts 
    to 
    evic
    tion, 

    Don't 
    think that 
    he does 
    it for 
    spite. 

    He 
    is acting 
    on deepest 
    conviction, 

    And 
    what's right, 

    after all, 
    is what's 
    right. 

    I 
    see 
    that your 
    hearts are 
    all 
    hardened, 

    And 
    that 
    I have been 
    appealing 
    in 
    vain. 

    Still 
    I hope my 
    last plea 
    will be pardoned, 

    As 
    I 
    beg 
    on my knees 
    once 
    again. 

    Pity 
    the 
    down
    trod
    den landlord, 


    And his back 
    that's all 

    burdene
    d and bent. 

    Respect 
    his grey 
    hairs, 

    don't ask 
    for 
    re
    pairs, 

    And 
    don't 
    leave behind 

    another 
    rent. 
    you

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
