    In 

    the 
    big city, 


    where the 
    lights 
    are 
    low 

    Cold 
    dirty

    where the 
    rivers 
    don't 
    flow

    so 
    throw 
    it 
    all 
    away

    In the 
    big city, 

    where the 
    kid
    s will 
    come 
    cheap 

    And monsters 
    prowl 
    and 

    never 
    sleep

    Don't 
    cross 
    the road

    you 

    haven't

    from 
    Ride 

    know 
    she's 
    out

    And your 
    mother 
    won't 
    know 

    that 
    you 
    do 
    a bit of 
    crime 

    Your 
    father's

    and he 

    really 
    hasn't 
    got 
    the 
    time 

    Verse 5
    In the 
    big 
    city, 

    where 
    it's 
    hard to 
    see 
    the sky 

    Black 
    earth 
    trembles 

    when the 
    trains 
    go by 

    Bums 
    on the 
    corner 
    tell you 

    gently 
    crawl 
    up 
    and 
    die 

    Verse 6
    Well, I 
    lost 
    my 
    girl 
    and I 

    missed 
    my 
    train 
    to 
    Ride 

    And 
    I'm 
    stuck 
    here sellin' 
    papers 

    And 
    spittin' 
    on 
    the ground 

    when 
    you walk 
    by

    Verse 7
    In the 
    big 
    city, 
    you can 
    dance 
    all 
    night 

    Only 
    if 
    you're clean 
    and the 

    lads 
    are not up
    tight 

    Or 
    you may 
    as well forget 
    it 

    until 
    the broad 
    day
    light 

    Verse 8
    In the 
    big 
    city, 

    where 
    the suits don't 
    look 
    you in 
    the 
    eye 

    Learn 
    how to 
    laugh, 

    you'll be 
    plannin' 
    when 
    to 
    die

    by

    • 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.
