    Verse 1

    Narrow 
    streets 
    breed 
    narrow 
    minds 
    and 

    Care 
    for king 
    but 
    not 
    for 
    kind 

    It's 
    a short 
    hop 
    to 
    long 
    weekend 

    When 
    every 
    move 
    you 
    ap
    prehend 

    You'll 
    never 
    find 
    room 
    to find 
    your 
    feet 

    To 
    walk 
    out 
    of 
    this 
    avenue 

    Your 
    pockets 
    are 
    lined 
    with 
    promises 

    When 
    did 
    you promise 
    ever 
    pay 

    for 
    shoes? 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    Counting 
    coal 
    trucks 
    by 
    the 
    line 
    and 

    Raise 
    your 
    glasses 
    one 
    more 
    time 

    Cause 
    Billy 
    has 
    gone 
    off 
    to 
    war 

    And 
    God 
    knows 
    what 
    he's 
    fight
    ing 
    for 

    But 
    wartime 
    will 
    make 
    him 
    man 

    Work 
    that 
    no one 
    see, 
    if 
    you 
    can 

    hero's 
    grave 
    is 
    six 
    feet 
    deep 
    not 

    Room 
    enough 
    for 
    all 
    his 
    plans. 

    Verse 3
    She 
    can scrub 
    the 
    step 

    but 
    if 
    he'll 
    never 
    gleam 

    If 
    he 
    did 
    she'd 
    smash 
    the 
    dream 

    And 
    they've 
    held 
    the 

    world 
    too 
    long 

    But dreams 
    are 
    what 
    you 
    wake 

    up 
    from 


    Verse 4
    Father 
    was 
    fighter 
    too 

    The 
    only 
    way 
    to 
    jump 
    the 
    queue 

    Boxing 
    clever, 
    times 
    were 
    tough 

    But 
    will 
    that 
    ever 
    be 
    enough? 

    You'd 
    never 
    find 
    room 
    to 
    find 
    his 
    feet 

    To 
    walk 
    out 
    of 
    these 
    avenues 

    Their 
    pockets 
    are lined 
    with 
    promises 

    When 
    did 
    they promise 
    ever 

    pay 
    for 
    shoes? 

    When 
    did 
    they 
    promise 
    ever 
    pay 
    for 
    shoes?

    • 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.
