The Shame chords by

Intro 1
G

Verse 1

G

A Million Times times I've

looked at the tides

Never before I found myself blinded
Em

by the cold burning tears
G

Of anger and pity and shame

The lion before me is a tiny young life

Ended by years of hatred and crime
Em

Killed by indifference,
G

fanatic religious divides

Crept out of hiding and ran for their lives

Too young for fighting,

too young to take sides
Em

The hope for the future
G

washed up there in the brine

It's important to note

that the waters they jumped in

were international

They'd penned all their hopes
Em

on rumours of Eden
G

The promise of freedom we gave
Am

At the door you left open,
D

you slammed in their face
Am

I'm full of self -loathing
D

It's a common disgrace
Am

As a world we do nothing
D
G

But silently let them die
Am

Tell me my friends,
D

does the fu ture look rosy?
G

Do you sleep well in bed?
Em

Safe, warm and cosy?
Am

Do you hope someone finds
A
D

a solution?
G

Overnight
Am
D

Tell me again, our history repeats
G
Em

How we could learn from all our mistakes
Am

How you'd like to help,
D
G
Em
G

but sadly your hands are tied
Am

We're gra cious and bigots
D

running countries and business
Am
D

No real religions, just misguided misfits
A
Am
D
G

Business as usual, toying the party line
Am

How proud you must feel
D

when you're cutting your deals
Am

With arms manufacturers
D

greasing the wheels,
Am

selling bullets and bombs
A
D
G

To the men with the guns taking lives
Am

Tell me my friend,
D

does the fu ture look rosy?
G

Do you sleep well in bed,
Em

safe warm and cosy?
Am

Do you hope someone finds
D
G

a solution overnight?
Am
D

Tell me again, our history repeats

  • 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.
