    You 
    gen
    tlemen 
    and 
    tradesmen 

    who 
    ride 
    about 
    at 
    will, 

    Look 
    down 
    on 
    these 
    poor 
    people, 

    it's 
    enough 
    to 
    make 
    you 
    krill. 

    Look 
    down 
    on 
    these 
    poor 
    people 

    as 
    you 
    ride 
    up 
    and 
    down, 

    I'm 
    sure 
    that 
    as 
    a 
    god 
    above 

    they'll 
    bring 
    your pride 
    quite 
    down. 

    You 
    tyrants 
    of 
    England, 

    your 
    race 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    rum, 

    You 
    may 
    be 
    brought 
    into 
    account 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    surely 
    done. 

    You 
    pull 
    down 
    our 
    wages 

    and 
    shamefully 
    to 
    tell 

    You're 
    going 
    to the 
    mar
    kets 

    and 
    you say 
    you 
    cannot 
    sell 

    And 
    when 
    that 
    we 
    do 
    ask 
    you 

    and 
    these 
    bad 
    times'll 
    mend 

    You 
    quickly 
    give 
    an 
    an
    swer 

    when 
    the 
    war's 
    at a 
    turn 
    end 

    You 
    tyrant 
    of 
    England, 

    your 
    race 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    wrong 

    You 
    may 
    be 
    brought 
    into 
    accoun
    t 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    sorely 
    done 

    When 
    we 
    look 
    on 
    our 
    poor 
    children 

    it 
    grieves 
    our 
    hearts 
    full 
    sore 

    The 
    clothing 
    it 
    is 
    worn 
    to 
    rags 

    and 
    we 
    can 
    get 
    no 
    more 

    With 
    little 
    in 
    their 
    bellies 

    as 
    they 
    to 
    work 
    must 
    go 

    While 
    yours 
    do 
    dress 
    as 
    manky 

    as 
    monkeys 
    in 
    the 
    show 

    You 
    tyrants 
    of 
    England, 

    your 
    race 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    run 

    You 
    may 
    be 
    brought 
    into 
    accoun
    t 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    sorely 

    done 

    You've 
    got 
    a church 
    on 
    Sundays, 

    and 
    I'm sure 
    it's 
    notebook 
    pride 

    There 
    can 
    be no 
    religion 

    when 
    human
    ity's 
    thrown 
    aside 

    If 
    there 
    be 
    a 
    place 
    in 
    heaven, 

    as 
    there 
    is 
    in 
    the 
    exchange 

    Apostles 
    they 
    may not 
    come 
    near, 

    like 
    lost 
    sheep 
    they 
    must 
    range 

    You 
    tyrants 
    of 
    England, 

    your 
    race 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    run 

    You 
    may 
    be brought 
    into 
    account 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    sorely 
    done 

    And 
    you 
    say 
    that 
    Bonaparty 

    has 
    been 
    the 
    spoil 
    of 
    all 

    And 
    that 
    we've 
    got 
    good 
    reason 

    for 
    to 
    pray 
    for 
    his 
    down
    fall 

    Well 
    Bonaparty's 
    dead 
    and 
    gone 

    and 
    it 
    is 
    plainly 
    shown 

    That 
    we've 
    got 
    bigger 
    tyr
    ants 

    in 
    bonies 
    of 
    our 
    own 

    You 
    tyrants 
    of 
    England, 

    your 
    age 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    wrong 

    You 
    may 
    be 
    brought 
    into 
    accoun
    t 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    sorely 
    done 

    And 
    now, 
    my 
    lads, 

    for 
    to conclude, 

    it's 
    time 
    to 
    make 
    an 
    end 

    Let's 
    see 
    if 
    we 
    can 
    form 
    a 
    plan 

    that 
    these 
    bad 
    times'll 
    mend 

    Then 
    give 
    us our 
    old 
    prices 

    as 
    we 
    have 
    had 
    before 

    And 
    we 
    can 
    live 
    in 
    happiness 

    and 
    rub 
    off 
    the 
    old score 

    You 
    tyrants 
    of 
    England, 

    your race 
    may 
    soon 
    be 
    run 

    You 
    may 
    be 
    brought 
    into 
    account 

    for 
    what 
    you've 
    solely 
    done

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
