    It's an 
    ugly 
    sight 
    by 

    the police 
    light 

    But 
    lonely 
    now 
    as 
    the innocents 

    leave in 
    twos 
    and threes 

    Cop 
    straight
    ens up, 

    wiping 
    blood off 
    his hand 

    It 
    says, 

    Christ above, 
    that's 
    the worst I've 

    seen in 
    more than 
    seven 
    days 

    Some
    body says, 
    I think I remember 
    him, 

    used 
    to see him hanging 
    around 

    But 
    it's hard to be 
    sure, 

    looking 
    at him 
    now 

    Whose 
    hand 
    made the 

    boy suf
    fer 
    and 
    bleed 

    Who 
    did 
    the 
    deed 
    on 

    Basin 

    Street 

    It's 
    429 
    an
    d 
    out on 
    the 
    airwaves 

    Late 
    night 

    DJ plays 
    for 
    the lost and 
    lonely 

    in 
    the late night 
    waves 

    Poppin' 
    pills 

    washed 
    down 
    with 
    coffee 

    with 
    a little coffee 
    blows 

    Cigarette 
    ash 

    off 
    the late news 
    flash 

    The 
    world is 
    waiting for 
    him 
    now 

    In 
    the palm of 
    his 
    hand, 

    he leans 
    to
    ward the microphone 
    and 
    says, 

    We interrupt 
    this program, 

    but 
    out 
    there in radio 
    land, 

    They're 
    all 
    asleep 

    As 
    the fireman 
    hoes 
    down 

    Basing 

    Street

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
