    bridge before the siren calls.
    Em

    This morning she's chasing her shadow,
    A
    D

    along the factory wall.
    G

    And through the gate,
    D

    where she will wait in line.
    G

    To cross the yard,

    to clock her card in time.
    D

    Verse 3

    G

    you've got to get up again before eight".
    Em

    "Yes", she cries,

    but there's joy in her eyes,
    A

    As she runs down the path
    D

    through the gate.
    Em

    And out on the rainy streets
    A

    hoping that the night will last.
    D
    Verse 5

    Em

    No whispering palms on the beach,

    for her,
    A
    D

    Just the swish of the cars going past.
    G

    And she believes no one could
    D

    feel the same,
    G
    D

    Touching and whispering in the rain.
    Verse 6

    her beautiful curls.

    This morning she's skipping the puddles,
    A
    D

    all along the factory wall.
    Verse 7
    G

    A starling sings, he shakes his wings,
    D

    she smiles.
    G

    Then at the gate, she hesitates,
    D

    for a while.
    E

    Then from inside the gates,
    G
    D

    the sirens roar.
    E
    A
    G

    And across the yard runs the factory girl.

    • 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.
