    Verse 1
    You 
    tell 
    me 
    there's 
    an 
    angel 
    in 
    your 
    tree 

    Did 
    he 
    say 
    he'd 
    come 

    to 
    call 
    on 
    me 

    For 
    things 
    are 
    getting 
    desperate 

    in 
    our 
    home 

    Living 
    in 
    the 
    parish 
    of 
    the 
    restless 
    folks 

    know, 
    everybody 
    now 

    Pre-chorus 1
    Bring 
    your 
    family 
    down 

    to 
    the 
    river
    side 

    Look 
    to 
    the 
    east 
    to 
    see 

    where 
    the 
    fat 
    stock 
    hide 

    Be
    hind 
    four 
    walls 
    of 
    stone 

    the 
    rich 
    man 
    sleeps 

    It's 
    time 
    we 
    put 
    the 
    flame 
    torch 

    to 
    their 
    keep 

    Chorus 1
    Burn 
    down 
    the 
    mission 

    If 
    we're 
    gonna 
    stay 
    alive 

    Watch 
    the 
    black 
    smoke 
    fly 
    to 
    heaven 

    See 
    the 
    red 
    flame 
    light 
    the 
    sky 

    Burn 
    down 
    the 
    mission 

    Burn 
    it 
    down 
    to 
    stay 
    alive 

    It's 
    our 
    only 
    chance 
    of 
    living 

    Take 
    all 
    you 
    need 
    to 
    live 
    in
    side

    Verse 2
    Deep 
    in 
    the 
    woods 

    the 
    squirrels 
    are 
    out 
    to
    day 

    My 
    wife 
    cried 
    when 
    they 
    came 

    to 
    take 
    me 
    away 

    But 
    what 
    more 
    could 
    do 

    just 
    to 
    keep 
    her 
    warm 

    Than 
    burn 
    burn 
    burn 
    burn 
    down 
    the 
    mission 

    walls, 
    now 
    everybody

    Lord 

    If

    • 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.
