  • Verse 1
    have 
    a dream 
    that 
    my 
    four 
    little children 

    would 
    one 
    day 
    live 
    in a 
    nation 
    where 
    they 

    will 
    not 
    be 
    judged 
    by 
    the 
    col
    or of 
    their 
    skin, 

    but 
    by the 
    content 
    of 
    their 
    character. 

    In song 
    we 
    let freedom 
    ring 
    from 

    the prodigious 
    hilltops 
    of 

    New 

    Hampshire. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 
    the 

    mighty moun
    tains 
    of 

    New 

    York. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 
    the 

    heightening 

    Alleghenies 
    of 

    Pennsylvani
    a. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 

    the snow 
    -capped 

    Rockies 
    of 

    Colorado. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 
    the 

    curvaceous 
    slopes 
    of 

    California. 

    But 
    not only 
    that, 
    let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 

    Stone 

    Mountain 
    of 

    Georgi
    a. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 

    Lookout 

    Mountain 
    of 

    Tennessee. 

    Let 
    freedom 
    ring 
    from 
    every 

    hill 
    and 
    molehill 
    of 

    Mis
    sissippi. 

    From 
    every 
    mountain
    side, 

    let 
    freedom 
    ring. 

    And when 
    this 
    happens, 

    we'll 
    be 
    free 
    at last. 

    We'll 
    be 
    free 
    at last. 

    Listen 
    to the 
    words, 

    see 
    if you understand. 

    Let them try 
    the 
    tribulations 

    of one 
    black 
    man. 

    For 
    a man 
    who 
    lived and 
    died 

    for the 
    struggling 
    cause, 

    let's 
    have a 
    moment, 

    second 
    of silence 
    and pause. 

    His 
    name 
    is 

    Martin 

    Luther 

    King, 
    and 
    he marched 
    across 
    the 
    land 

    making 
    freedom 
    ring. 

    And 
    every 
    mo
    ment 
    of his 
    life, 

    every 
    day of 
    his years, 

    he 
    kept the 
    sound 
    of 
    freedom 

    ringing 
    in our 
    ears. 

    If 
    you 
    listened 
    to his 
    voice 

    when you 
    heard 
    him speak 

    He 
    brought 
    hope 
    to the 
    helpless, 

    strength 
    to 
    the weak 

    He 
    was the 
    message 
    to the 
    people, 

    was the 
    edge of 
    the knife 

    Gave 
    the 
    ultimate 
    gift, 
    the 
    man 
    gave 
    it life 

    He 
    told us 
    he 
    had a 
    dream, 

    it was 
    real 
    to him 

    He 
    said he 
    dreamed 
    of a 
    world 

    where his 
    four 
    children 
    could live 

    In 
    nation 
    not 
    judged 
    by skin, 

    but 
    by the 
    caution 
    of the 
    character 
    his 
    heart 
    was in 

    He 
    wasn't 
    scared of 
    any 
    man, 

    didn't 
    have no 
    fear 

    He 
    was 
    beaten 
    and arrested 

    year 
    after 
    year 

    Perse
    cuted 
    and uprooted 

    for 
    the 
    things he 
    created 

    And 
    ul
    timately, 
    the 
    king was 
    terminated 

    Now 
    where's 
    his apprentices 

    and 
    predecessors? 

    Where 
    are the 
    leaders 
    for our 
    ancestors? 

    The 
    youngster 

    Abernethys 
    and the 

    Jesse 

    Jacksons 

    We 
    need someone 
    to 
    go and 

    take affirmative 
    action 

    Not 
    black 
    mayor, 
    judge or 
    a captain 

    black 
    president 
    should 
    it 
    ever 
    happen 

    We 
    have 
    to 
    bring the 
    whites 

    to the 
    black 
    man's 
    side 

    Walk 
    hand 
    in 
    hand to 

    show we 
    have 
    black 
    pride 

    If 
    we 
    listen 
    to the 
    words 
    he 
    had 
    to say 

    He 
    might have 
    never 
    gotten 
    blown 
    away 

    Have 
    a nice 
    day 






    Why 
    the world 
    can't 
    stand 
    together 

    We're 
    acting 
    through 

    something 
    weather 

    Why 
    in the 
    world can 
    we stick 

    together 
    now? 

    What kind 
    of 
    weather? 

    Why 
    in the 
    world can 
    we 
    stick together? 

    Stick 
    together 
    in 
    this stormy 
    weather? 

    Why 
    in the 
    world can 
    stick 

    together 
    now? 

    What kind 
    of 

    love 
    you.

    • 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.
