    He sang 

    in our 
    streets

    is 
    Your 
    Land, 

    he 
    wanted

    of 
    the 
    unions 

    will

    sung 
    about 
    again 

    And 
    the 
    Deportees live 
    on 
    through 
    the power 

    of 
    his 
    pen 


    (chorus) 

    Now 
    they sing 
    out 
    his 
    praises 
    Verse 10

    on 
    every 
    distant 
    shore 

    But 
    so 
    few 
    remember 
    what 

    he 
    was 
    fightin' 
    for 

    Oh 
    why 
    sing 
    the songs 
    and 

    forget 
    about 
    the 
    aim? 

    He 
    wrote 
    them 
    for 
    a reason, 

    why 
    not 
    sing 
    them 
    for 
    the same

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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

      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.
