    Verse 1
    G

    You were born

    outside of Liverpool in England
    C

    The bank propelled your
    Gsus4

    father left and right
    Dsus4

    You told me about your boarding
    Gsus2
    Dsus4
    G

    school adventures
    C

    That magic world that lived
    Gsus4

    in black and white

    You turned eighteen and

    enlisted in the Air Force
    C
    Gsus4

    To fly horser gliders over enemy lines
    Dsus4

    You never lost your wide

    -eyed joy of flying
    C
    Gsus4

    And Hitler took that bullet just in time
    G

    The expectations placed you at the ledger

    But your banker's life
    Gsus4

    was nev er meant to be

    You weathered Grandad's

    English aspirations
    C
    Gsus4

    And he set you sail across the Irish Sea
    C
    G

    You always had your chin up to the sky
    Am

    Stood up straight with self

    -respect and pride

    You looked every single
    G

    challenge in the eye
    C

    But the hardest thing you ever
    G
    Gsus4

    did was die
    G

    To Marnie, Chris,

    you were more than just a nephew
    C

    Treasured like the sun

    she never bore
    Dsus4

    You stepped into the

    paper mill at Swiftbrook
    C

    In your coat and tie you walked

    the factory floor
    Gsus4
    G

    And when you went to Dr.

    Duckdale's with a toothache
    C

    You left there with a filling and a pride
    Dsus4

    I love that photo on

    the steps of Christchurch
    C

    GKV with Joan Margaret by his side
    G

    You always had your chin up to the sky
    Am

    Stood up straight with self

    -respect and pride

    You looked every single
    G

    challenge in the eye
    C

    But the hardest thing you ever
    G
    Gsus4

    did was die
    G

    Cranham Road was your

    Irish family castle
    C

    Until the millbar sent you on your way
    Dsus4

    You bravely sailed the

    six of us to safety
    C

    From Southampton down

    into Port Phillip Bay
    Dsus4
    G

    You were forty when

    you set foot in Australia
    C

    Resourceful and relentless

    and near broke
    Dsus4

    We faced hardship like that
    D

    acre of lantana
    C

    Packed it out by hand and

    sent it up in smoke

    You wore his head,
    G

    your chin up to the sky
    Am

    Stood up straight with self

    -respect and pride
    G

    Looked every single challenge in the eye
    C

    The hardest thing you ever did
    G
    Gsus4
    G

    was die
    C

    G

    Don't grow old,

    you'd always tell your grandkids
    C
    Am

    An ugly early whiff of Waterloo
    C
    D
    Dsus4

    Your life began the spiral into helpless
    C

    And this time there

    was nothing you could do
    G

    All the finest stories have a champion
    C

    To step in when the darkest hour has come
    G
    D

    But the Saviour came
    G

    and bore you safely over
    D
    C

    The hardest thing

    you both had ever done
    G

    You always had your chin up to the sky
    C

    Stood up straight with self
    Am

    -respect and pride

    You looked every single
    G

    challenge in the eye
    C

    But the hardest thing you ever did was die

    You looked every single
    G

    challenge in the eye

    But the hardest thing you ever did was die

    • 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

      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

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
