    Verse 1
    Hurrying 
    across 
    the 

    bridge 
    be
    fore 
    the siren 
    calls. 

    This 
    morning 
    she's 
    chasing 
    her 
    shadow, 

    along 
    the factory 
    wall. 

    And 
    through 
    the 
    gate, 

    where she 
    will 
    wait 
    in 
    line. 

    To cross 
    the 
    yard, 

    to 
    clock 
    her 
    card 
    in 
    time. 

    Verse 2

    And 
    under 
    her 
    scar
    f, 
    her 
    hair 
    set 
    in 
    curls, 

    The 
    day 
    be
    gins 
    for 
    the 
    fact
    ory 
    girl. 

    For 
    a while 
    the 
    girls 
    try 
    to talk, 

    but 
    their 
    voices 
    soon 
    drown 
    in 
    the 
    din. 

    Their 
    eyes 
    watch 
    their 
    hands 
    do 
    the 
    work, 

    and 
    a 
    new 
    day's 
    rhythm 
    begin
    s. 

    Verse 3
    No 
    change 
    today, 
    like 
    yesterday, 
    the same 

    But 
    din
    ner 
    soon, 
    then 
    afternoon, 

    then 
    home. 

    Then 
    hurrying 
    home 
    in 
    the fading 
    light, 


    The factory 
    girl 
    is 
    going 
    out 

    to
    night. 

    Verse 4

    Her momma 
    says 
    "Don't 
    be 
    late, 

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

    "Yes", 
    she 
    cries, 

    but 
    there's 
    joy 
    in 
    her eyes, 

    As she 
    runs 
    down 
    the 
    path 

    through 
    the 
    gate. 

    And 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    rainy 
    streets 

    hoping 
    that 
    the night 
    will 
    last. 

    Verse 5

    No 
    whispering 
    palms 
    on 
    the 
    beach, 

    for 
    her, 

    Just 
    the 
    swish 
    of 
    the 
    cars 
    going 
    past. 

    And 
    she 
    believes 
    no 
    one 
    could 

    feel 
    the same, 

    Touching 
    and 
    whispering 
    in 
    the 
    rain. 

    Verse 6
    And 
    the rain 
    takes 
    away 

    her 
    beautiful 
    curls. 

    The 
    night 
    is 
    soon 
    gone 
    for 
    the fact

    ory 
    girl. 


    And 
    hurrying 
    across 
    the 
    bridge 

    be
    fore 
    the siren 
    calls. 

    This 
    morning 
    she's 
    skipping 
    the 
    puddles, 

    all 
    along 
    the 
    factory 
    wall. 

    Verse 7
    A 
    starling 
    sings, 
    he shakes 
    his 
    wings, 

    she 
    smiles. 

    Then 
    at 
    the 
    gate, 
    she 
    hesitates, 

    for a while. 

    Then 
    from 
    inside 
    the gates, 

    the sirens 
    roar. 

    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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
