    Verse 1
    In 
    our 
    Durham 
    county, 

    I 
    am sorry 
    for 
    to say, 

    That 
    hunger and 
    starvation 

    is 
    increasing 
    every 
    day. 

    For 
    the 
    want 
    of food 
    and coals 

    we 
    know not 
    what to 
    do, 

    but 
    with 
    your kind 
    assistance 

    we 
    will stand 
    the struggle 
    through. 

    I 
    need not 
    state 
    the reason 

    why 
    we 
    have been 
    brought 
    slow. 

    The masters 
    have 
    behaved 
    unkind 

    as 
    everyone 
    will 
    know, 

    because 
    we won't 
    lie down 

    and 
    let them treat 
    us 
    as 
    they like. 

    To punish 
    us 
    they've 
    stopped 
    their pits 

    and 
    caused 
    the present 
    strike. 

    The 
    pulley 
    -wheels 
    have ceased 
    to 
    move, 

    Which 
    went 
    so swift 
    around. 

    The horses 
    and 
    the 
    ponies, 

    Are brought from 
    underground. 

    Our work 
    is taken 
    from 
    us now, 

    They cannot 
    afford 
    die, 

    For 
    they can 
    eat the 
    best of 
    food 

    And 
    drink 
    the best 
    when dry. 

    The 
    miner and 
    his 
    marito 

    Each 
    mornin' 
    have 
    to roam 

    To seek 
    for 
    bread to 
    feed 

    The 
    hungry 
    little 
    ones at 
    home. 

    The 
    flower -barrel 
    is empty now, 

    That 
    ruined faithful 
    friend, 

    Which makes 
    the thousands 
    wish today 

    The 
    strike was 
    at 
    an end. 

    We 
    have 
    done 
    our very 
    best, 

    As honest 
    working 
    men, 

    To 
    let 
    the pits 
    commence again, 

    we've 
    offered to 
    them ten. 

    They 
    offer, 
    they 
    will not 
    accept, 

    they firmly 
    do 
    demand. 

    Thirteen 
    and 
    a half 
    percent, 

    or 
    let their 
    colliery 
    stand. 

    Let 
    them 
    stand 
    or let 
    them lie, 

    to do with 
    them as 
    they choose. 

    To give them 
    thirteen 
    and 
    a 
    half, 

    we ever shall 
    refuse. 

    They're always 
    willing 
    to receive, 

    but never 
    inclined 
    to 
    give. 

    Very 
    soon 
    they won't 
    allow 

    a 
    walking 
    man 
    to live. 

    The 
    miners 
    of 
    Northumberland 

    we 
    shall 
    forever 
    praise 

    For 
    being 
    so kind 
    in 
    helping 
    us 

    those 
    tyrannising 
    days. 

    We 
    thank 
    the other 
    counties 
    too 

    that 
    have been 
    doing the 
    same 

    For 
    every 
    man 
    who hears 
    this song 

    will 
    know 
    we're not 
    to blame 


    Thank 
    you very much. 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.

      Well-Designed App

      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.
