    Verse 1
    It's 
    coming 
    through 
    hole 
    in the 
    air 

    From 
    those 
    nights 
    in 
    Tiananmen Square 

    It's 
    com
    ing 
    from 
    the 
    feel 

    That 
    this 
    ain't 
    exactly 
    real 

    Or 
    it's 
    real, 
    but 
    it 
    ain't 
    ex
    actly 
    there 

    From 
    the 
    war 
    against 
    disorder 

    From 
    the sirens 
    night 
    and 
    day 

    From 
    the fires 
    of the 
    homeless 

    From 
    the 
    ashes 
    of 
    the gay 

    Demo

    is 
    coming 
    to

    USA 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    It's coming 
    through 
    crack 
    in 
    the wall 

    On 
    a visionary 
    flood 
    of al
    cohol 

    From 
    the stag
    gering 
    account 

    Of 
    the Ser
    mon 
    on 
    the Mount 

    Which 
    I don't 
    pretend 
    to 

    under
    stand 
    at 
    all 

    It's 
    coming 
    from 
    the silence 

    On the 
    dock 
    of 
    the bay 

    From 
    the brave, 
    the 
    bold, 
    the 
    battered 

    Heart 
    of 
    Chevro
    let 

    Democracy

    coming 
    to 
    the 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    It's 
    coming 
    from 
    the sor

    row 
    in 
    the street 

    The 
    holy 
    places 
    where 

    the races 
    meet 

    From the hom
    icidal 
    bitchin' 

    That goes 
    down 
    in every 

    kit
    chen 

    To determine 
    who will 

    serve 
    and 
    who 
    will 
    eat 

    From 
    the wells 
    of 
    disappointment 

    Where 
    the wo
    men 
    kneel 
    to 
    pray 

    For the 
    grace 
    of 
    God 
    in 
    the desert 
    here 

    And 
    the desert 
    far 
    away 

    Demo
    cracy 
    is 
    coming 
    to 
    the 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 4
    Sail 
    on, 
    sail 
    on 

    mighty 
    ship 
    of 
    state 

    To 
    the shores 
    of 
    need 

    Past 
    the 
    reefs 
    of 
    greed 

    Through 
    the 
    squalls 
    of 
    hate

    • 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.
