When the white man went to
Africa
C

With a briefcase in his hand

A pristine

As a black man held the land

Now the black man holds the

Realize the

Who carved out the continent

like an operating room

C
Friar
Rosa,
Cm
Reverend
G
D
Ham, a living stone I presume
G
D
Fire and brimstone in their soul,
G
a book shot in their belt
The good book caught a bullet,
D
left the hand the white man dealt
In
East
C
Cm
Africa they called you boy, in the
G
West just plain gossip
Em
D
And you realized,
G
D
C
Lord, the
Lord is the
White
G
Tom
When the
Scotsman went to the
C
Caribbean with his little
G
C
Honda boat
D
He stepped ashore and took the young
C
G
man tightly by the throat
C
Any man who sleeps with mine, to
Hades they'll be gone
D
G
And you realize the
D
C
Lord, the
G
Lord is a white clown
C
Cm
And as he taught them every single verse,
G
Em
to old amazing grace
C
Cm
Betting, bouts of kill, and bruiser banter,
G
D
perfectly in place
G
D
Fire and brimstone in their soul,
G
and buckshot in their belt
The good book caught a bullet,
D
that's the hand the white man dealt
In
East
C
Cm
Africa they called it war, in the
G
West just plain gossip
Em
D
And you realize the
G
D
C
Lord, the
G
Lord is a white cop
When the white folk started singing,
C
G
C
they only did in solemn prayer
D
Not so pop some neighbors did,
C
for spirits take them there
G
Now the gospel singer, she plays the clubs,
C
and this old man cleans the john
D
When you realize the
G
Lord, the
C
G
Lord is a white con
Blind
C
Boy
Fuller,
Cm
Howlin'
G
Em
Wolf, and all the bluesmen gone
C
Cm
All we've got to show for it is
G
D
just throwin' it number one
G
Flying brimstone in their soul,
a buckshot in their belt
D
G
The good boy caught a bullet,
D
that's the hand the white man dealt
In
East
C
Cm
Africa, they called it war
In the
G
Em
West, just plain gossip
D
G
And you realize the
D
G
Lord, the
C
Lord is a white cunt
G
When the white man started singing
Em
C
Em
He put fin gers straight in the air
G
He wouldn't play a song of style
Em
That might risk his career
C
Cm
Previously, a slave would trade
G
Em
his freedom for the chance
D
To get off board and follow white men,
do a song or dance
G
Now the whole world's screaming, I repeat,
Em
C
Em
that it's lighter than a swan
G
D
G
And finally you realize, the
Em
C
Em
Lord's a blue icon
C
Of
Jim

Crow, the minstrel show,
G
the whole of history
Em
D
You think you'll make it up to them
G
D
with a touch of harpery
G
Fire and brimstone in their soul,
buckshot in their bell
Your good book or the bullet,
D
let your hand the white man dealt
In
East
C
Cm
Africa they called you boy, in the
G
West just plain gossip
Em
D
And you realize the
Lord, the
C
G
Lord is a white con

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!!!”

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.”
