    Verse 1
    Father 

    mows 
    the 
    lawn 
    and 
    Mother 
    peels 
    the 
    potatoes 

    Grand
    ma 
    lays 
    the table 
    alone 

    And ad
    justs 
    a photograph 

    of the 
    unknown 
    soldier 

    In this 
    Holy 
    of 
    Holies, 
    the 
    Home 

    And 
    from 
    the 
    TV 
    an 
    un

    watched 
    voice 

    Suggest
    the 
    answer 
    is 
    to plant 

    more 
    trees 

    The scrawl 
    on 
    the wall 
    says 
    what 

    about 
    the 
    work
    ers 

    And the 
    voice 
    of the 
    people 
    says 

    more 
    salt 
    please 

    Mother shakes 
    her 
    head 
    and read
    s aloud 
    Verse 2

    from 
    the newspaper 

    As 
    Father 
    puts 
    another 

    lock 
    on 
    the 
    door 

    And re
    flects 
    upon 
    the violent 

    times 
    that 
    we are 
    living 
    in 

    While chatting 
    with 
    the 

    wife 
    beater 
    nex
    door 

    If 
    paradis
    to you 
    is 

    cheap 
    beer 
    and 
    overtime 

    Home 
    truths 
    are 
    easily 

    missed 

    Something 
    that 
    every 

    football 
    fan 
    knows 

    It only 
    takes 
    five 
    fingers 
    to form 
    fist 

    Verse 3
    And 
    when it 
    rain
    here 
    it 

    rain
    so 
    hard 

    But 
    never 
    hard 
    enough 
    to 

    wash 
    away 
    the sorrow 

    I'll trade 
    my 
    love 
    today 

    for a 
    greater 
    love 
    tomorrow 

    The lonely 
    child 
    looks 
    out 
    and 

    dreams 
    of 
    in
    depend
    ence 

    From 
    this 
    family 
    life 
    sen
    tence 

    Verse 4
    Mother 
    sees 
    but 
    does 
    not 

    read 
    the peeling 
    posters 

    And 
    can't 
    be
    lieve 
    that 

    there's 
    world 
    to 
    be 
    won 

    But in 
    the pub
    lic 
    schools 

    and 
    in 
    the public 
    houses 

    The 
    Battle 
    of 
    Britain 
    goes 
    on 

    The 
    con
    stant 
    promise 
    of 
    jam 
    tomor
    row 

    Is the 
    New 
    Breed's 
    litany 

    an
    verse 

    If it 
    takes 
    an
    other 
    war 
    to 
    fill 

    the 
    churches 
    of 
    England 

    Then 
    the world 
    the 
    meek 
    in
    herit, 

    what 
    will 
    it 
    be 
    worth 

    Mother 
    fights 
    the tears 
    and 
    Father, 
    Verse 5

    his sense 
    of 
    outrage 

    And attempts 
    to justify 
    the sacri
    fice 

    To pass 
    their 
    creed 
    down 
    to 

    another 
    generation 

    'Anything 
    for 
    the 
    quiet 
    life' 

    In 
    the Land 
    of 
    Thousand 
    Doses 

    Where nos
    talgia 
    is 
    the 
    opium 
    of 
    the 
    age 

    Our 
    place 
    in 
    History 
    is 
    as

    Clock 
    watchers, 
    old 
    timers, 

    window 
    shopper

    • 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.
