    The 
    crops 
    are 
    all 
    in, 

    the 
    peaches 
    are 
    rot
    ting, 

    the 
    oranges 
    are 
    piled 

    in 
    their creo
    sote 
    tunnels. 

    They're 
    fly
    ing 
    you back 

    to 
    the 
    Mexican 
    border 

    to 
    pay 
    all 
    your 
    money 
    to 

    wait 
    back 
    again. 

    My 
    father's 
    own 
    father 

    waded 
    that 
    river

    They 
    took all 
    the 
    money 

    that 
    he 
    made 
    in his 
    life 

    My 
    broth
    ers 
    and 
    sisters 
    came 

    work
    ing 
    the fruit 
    trees 

    And 
    they 
    rode 
    the 
    trucks 

    till 
    they 
    took down 
    and died 

    Goodbye 
    to 
    my 
    one 
    goodbye

    You 
    won't 
    have 
    a name 

    when 
    you 
    ride 
    the big 
    airplane 

    All 
    they 
    will 
    call 
    you 
    will 
    be 
    de
    portees 

    Some 
    of 
    us are 
    illegal 

    and 
    others 
    not 
    wanted 

    Our 
    contract's 
    out 
    and 

    we 
    have to 
    move 
    on 

    But 
    it's 
    six 
    hundred 
    miles 

    to 
    the Mex
    ican 
    border 

    They 
    chase 
    us like 
    out
    laws, 

    wrest
    lers 
    and 
    thieves 

    We've 
    died 
    in 
    your 
    hills 

    and 
    we've 
    died 
    in 
    your deserts 

    We've 
    died 
    in your 
    val
    leys 

    and 
    died 
    on 
    your plain

    We've 
    died 
    beneath 
    your trees 

    and we've 
    died 
    in 
    your 
    bushes 

    Both 
    sides 
    of 
    the 
    river 
    are 

    just 
    the 
    same 

    Goodbye 
    to 
    my 
    one 
    good
    bye

    And 
    who are

    The radio 
    says 
    they're

    Is 
    this 
    the best 
    way 

    we

    this 
    the best 
    way 

    we can 
    grow

    good fruit? 

    To 
    fall 
    like 
    dried 
    leaves 

    and 
    rot 
    on 
    the topsoil 

    And

    • 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.
