    Verse 1
    (Four) 

    Hard times 
    are 
    a'comin', I 

    can 
    see 
    it 
    on 
    the eve 

    Greed 
    gathers 
    in 
    white 
    house, 

    get 
    ready 
    for 
    the feast 

    Sharpen 
    their 
    teeth, 

    watch 
    the prey 
    wait 
    patiently 

    As 
    they 
    lead 
    them 
    to 
    the 
    slaughter 

    No 
    one 
    looks 
    up 
    from 
    their 
    screens 

    Verse 2

    My 
    Amer
    ican 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Just 
    what 
    have 
    you done? 

    My 
    American 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Who 
    will 
    you 
    be
    come? 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Uncle 
    Sam's 
    whispering 

    world 
    war 
    is 
    coming 
    on 

    War 
    is 
    good 
    for 
    business, 

    please 
    invest 
    your 
    only 
    son 

    Towers 
    are 
    on 
    fire 
    and 
    the 

    world 
    calls 
    for 
    aid 

    We'd 
    burn 
    it 
    all 
    again, 

    best 
    profit 
    ever 
    made 

    Verse 4

    My 
    Amer
    ican 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Just 
    what 
    have 
    you 
    done? 

    My 
    Amer
    ican 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Who 
    will 
    you 
    be
    come? 

    Verse 5

    There's 
    light 
    in 
    the storm 
    clouds, 

    there's 
    hope, 
    see 
    it 
    clear 

    We 
    ain't 
    afraid 
    of 
    dying, 

    we're 
    dying 
    from 
    the 
    fear 

    And 
    the 
    politicians' laughter 
    sounds 

    like 
    crying 
    in 
    the 
    streets 

    We're 
    just 
    their 
    entertainment, 

    they 
    got 
    the 
    front 
    row 
    seat

    Verse 6

    My 
    Amer
    ican 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Just 
    what 
    have 
    you 
    done? 

    My 
    Amer
    ican 
    son, 
    my 
    American 
    son 

    Who 
    will 
    you 
    become?

    • 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.
