    • Verse 1
    I 
    packed 

    up 
    my 
    suitcase 
    and 
    left 
    the old 
    farm 

    I 
    promised 
    my 
    papa 
    I'd 

    come 
    to 
    no 
    harm 

    And 
    I 
    went 
    to 
    the 
    city 
    where 

    I 
    was 
    em
    ployed 

    In 
    a 
    firm 
    of 
    ac
    countants 
    as 
    an 
    office 
    boy. 

    Verse 2

    I 
    fetched 
    and 
    I 
    car
    ried, 

    I 
    watched 
    and 
    I learned 

    And 
    slowly 
    but 
    surely 
    I 

    rose 
    through 
    the 
    firm. 

    But 
    then 
    I 
    dis
    covered 
    my 

    colleagues 
    one day 

    Mas
    saging 
    the 
    figures 
    for 
    personal 
    gain 

    I 
    said 
    "I'll 
    not 
    wallow 
    in 
    this 

    house 
    of shame" 

    I'll 
    plough 
    my 
    own 
    fur
    row, 

    I'll 
    go 
    my 
    own 
    way. 

    Verse 3

    Gravely 
    I 
    listened 
    to 
    Reverend 
    McBride 

    Down 
    at 
    the 
    mis
    sion 
    house 

    each 
    Friday 
    night. 

    Heaven's 
    salva
    tion 
    for 

    those 
    who 
    know be
    st, 

    Hell 
    and 
    damna
    tion 
    for 
    all 
    of the 
    rest. 

    Verse 4

    Try 
    as 
    I 
    might 
    I 
    could 
    not 
    under
    stand 

    Why 
    The 
    Almighty's 
    all- 
    mer
    ciful 
    hand 

    Should 
    cast 
    away 
    those 

    whose 
    only 
    mis
    take 

    Was 
    never 
    to know 
    the 
    Christian 
    faith 

    The 
    stars 
    that 
    we 
    follow 

    can 
    lead 
    us 
    astray 

    Verse 5

    I'll 
    plough 
    my 
    own 
    fur
    row, 

    I'll 
    go 
    my 
    own 
    way 

    Interlude 1

    I 
    fled 
    from 
    the 
    Verse 6
    capitals 

    bourgeois 
    mal
    aise 

    And 
    trekked 
    through 
    the 
    wil

    derness 
    for 
    fourteen 
    days 

    'Til 
    I 
    found 
    the 
    guer
    rillas 

    camped 
    high 
    in 
    the hills 

    I 
    asked 
    Comrade 
    Diaz 
    whom 
    I 
    should 
    kill. 

    Verse 7

    I 
    crept 
    into 
    town 
    with 
    a 
    knife 
    in my 
    teeth 

    And 
    entered 
    the 
    home 
    of 

    the 
    Chief 
    of 
    Po
    lice 

    I 
    stood 
    at 
    his 
    bedside 

    and 
    raised 
    up 
    my blade 

    But 
    then I 
    looked 
    to 
    the crib 

    where 
    his 
    little 
    one 
    lay 

    You 
    murder 
    tomor
    row 

    by 
    killing 
    today 

    Verse 8
    I'll 
    plough 
    my 
    own 
    fur
    row, 

    I'll go 
    my 
    own 
    way.

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
