Verse 1
G
D
G
Tell the
miners'
kids and wives
C
There's a blast in the number five
D
And the families I see standing
G
at the gate
The inspector years ago said
C
number five's a deadly hole
D
And the men most likely
G
won't come out alive
Verse 2
G
Waiting at the gate,
D
we are waiting at the gate
G
Smoke and fire does boil and roll
C
from that dark and deadly hole
D
While the miners' kids and wives
G
wait at the gate
Verse 3
G
The inspector told the boss,
C
it was more than a year ago
D
You're risking these men's
G
lives in number five
That hole's full of fumes and dust,
C
full of high explosive gas
D
But the boss said we'll just
G
have to take the chance
Verse 4
G
Waiting at the gate,
D
we are waiting at the gate
G
Smoke and fire does boil and roll
C
from that dark and deadly hole
D
While the miners' kids
G
and wives wait at the gate
C
Well the men in the number five kissed their wives
Verse 5
and kids goodbye
D
Then they walk with their
G
lunch kits up the hill
Everybody told the owner that this
C
deadly day would come
D
But he said we had to
G
work to pay our bills
Verse 6
G
Waiting at the gate,
D
we are waiting at the gate
G
Smoke and fire does roll and boil
C
from that dark and deadly hole
D
While the miners' kids and
G
wives wait at the gate
Verse 7
G
Well I tried to get a look
C
D
of the face I often know
As the men are carried
G
out wrapped up in sheets
I can hear the church bells ringing for
C
the one hundred eleven dead
D
I can hear the families weeping in the streets
Verse 8
G
Waiting at the gate,
D
we are waiting at the gate
G
Smoke and fire does roll and boil
C
from that dark and deadly hole
D
While the miners' kids and wives
G
wait at the gate
Verse 9
G
This explosion struck on Wednesday
C
And I stood by the gate till Saturday
D
'Til they laid my daddy out with
G
the other men
C
In the pocket of his shirt I found
a little note he wrote
D
Never go down in a dangerous
G
mine again
Verse 10
G
Waiting at the gate,
D
we are waiting at the gate
G
Smoke and fire does roll and boil
C
from that dark and deadly hole
D
While the miners' kids and
G
wives wait at the gate

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.”
