Am
G

I have a dream that my four little children
Am

would one day live in a nation where they
G
C
G

will not be judged by the color 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
C

mighty mountains of

New

York.
Bm

Let freedom ring from the

heightening

Alleghenies of
Am

Pennsylvania.

Let freedom ring from
G

the snow -capped

Rockies of

Colorado.
C

Let freedom ring from the
Bm

curvaceous slopes of

California.
Am

But not only that, let freedom ring from
G

Stone

Mountain of
Am

Georgia.
C

Let freedom ring from

Lookout
Bm

Mountain of

Tennessee.
Am

Let freedom ring from every

hill and molehill of
G

Mississippi.
Am
C

From every mountainside,

let freedom ring.
Bm

And when this happens,
Am

we'll be free at last.
G

We'll be free at last.
Am
C

Listen to the words,

see if you understand.
Bm

Let them try the tribulations

of one black man.
Am

For a man who lived and died

for the struggling cause,

let's have a moment,
G

a second of silence and pause.
C

His name is

Martin

Luther
Bm

King, and he marched across the land

making freedom ring.
Am

And every moment of his life,

every day of his years,
G

he kept the sound of freedom

ringing in our ears.
Am

If you listened to his voice

when you heard him speak
G

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
C

He told us he had a dream,

it was real to him
Bm

He said he dreamed of a world

where his four children could live
Am

In a nation not judged by skin,
G

but by the caution of the character his heart was in
Am
C

He wasn't scared of any man,

didn't have no fear
Bm

He was beaten and arrested

year after year
Am

Persecuted and uprooted

for the things he created
G

And ul timately, the king was terminated

Now where's his apprentices

and predecessors?

Where are the leaders for our ancestors?
C

The youngster

Abernethys and the

Jesse

Jacksons
Bm

We need someone to go and

take affirmative action
Am

Not a black mayor, a judge or a captain
G
Am

A black president should it ever happen
C

We have to bring the whites

to the black man's side
Bm

Walk hand in hand to

show we have black pride
Am

If we listen to the words he had to say
G

He might have never gotten blown away
Am
C
Em
Bm

Have a nice day

Why the world can't stand together
Bm

We're acting through

something weather
Am

Why in the world can we stick
G

together now?
Am

What kind of weather?
C

Why in the world can we stick together?
Bm

Stick together in this stormy weather?
Am

Why in the world can stick
G

together now?

What kind of
C

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.
