    • Verse 1
    Break 
    Up The 
    Con
    crete 

    There 
    was 
    a 
    red 
    brick 
    road 

    where 
    I 
    grew 
    up 
    on 

    And 
    a pretty 
    stone 
    wall 

    round a 
    fragrant 
    lawn 

    Fish 
    in the pond 
    that sparkled 

    in the 
    dawn 

    But it 
    ain't 
    no 
    more 
    it's all 

    gone 
    gone 
    gone 

    [Chor
    us] 
    Whoa! 
    Verse 2


    Ram 
    it! 
    Cram 
    it! 
    Grand 
    Slam 
    it! 

    Break 
    up the concrete, 

    Break 
    up the 
    concrete 

    Prod 
    it! Sod 
    it! 
    Metal 
    Rod 
    it! 

    Break 
    up the concrete, 

    Thwak it! Crack 
    it! 
    Line 
    back 
    it! 

    Break 
    up the concrete, 

    Shake 
    it! Bake 
    it! 
    Earthquake 
    it! 

    Break 
    up 
    the concrete 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    And the 
    de
    pot 
    over 
    there 
    right 
    next 

    to the track
    s 

    That the slaves 
    put 
    down, while 

    breaking 
    their backs 

    But 
    those 
    Texas 
    zoo 
    no 
    would 

    ever 
    get 
    into 
    a car
    riage 

    Or 
    anything 
    that 
    might 
    lead to 
    an 

    interracial marriage

    Now 
    don't

    a lie 

    And don't 
    even 
    try to 
    come 

    with an 
    excuse 
    why! 

    We we're 
    so 
    busy 
    worrying 

    about them 
    dropping 
    the bomb 

    We 
    didn't 
    notice 
    where 
    our enemy 

    was 
    really 
    coming 
    from! 

    Hey

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
