  • Verse 1
    Pushing 
    through 
    the 
    market 
    square 

    So 
    many 
    mothers 
    sighing 

    News 
    had 
    just 
    come 
    over 

    We 
    had 
    five 
    years 
    left 
    to 
    cry 
    in 

    News 
    guy 
    wept 
    and 
    told 
    us 

    Earth 
    was 
    really 
    dying 

    Cried 
    so 
    much 
    his 
    face 
    was 
    wet 

    Then 
    knew 
    he 
    was 
    not 
    lying 

    heard 
    telephones, 

    opera 
    house, 
    favorite 
    melodies 

    saw 
    boys, 

    toys, 
    electric 
    electric 
    irons 
    and 
    TV's 

    My 
    brain 
    hurt 
    like 
    warehouse, 

    it 
    had 
    no 
    room 
    to 
    spare 

    had 
    to 
    cram 
    so 
    many 
    things 

    to 
    store 
    everything 
    in 
    there 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    fat, 
    skinny 
    people 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    tall, 
    short 
    people 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    nobody 
    people 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    somebody 
    people 

    never 
    thought 
    I'd 
    need 
    so 
    many 
    people 

    Verse 2
    girl 
    my 
    age 
    went 
    off 
    her 
    head 

    Hit 
    some 
    tiny 
    children 

    If 
    the 
    Black 
    hadn't 
    have 
    pulled 
    her 
    off 

    think 
    she 
    would 
    have 
    killed 
    them 

    soldier 
    with 
    broken 
    arm 

    Fixed 
    his 
    stare 
    to 
    the 
    wheels 
    of 
    Cadillac 

    cop 
    knelt 
    and 
    kissed 
    the 
    feet 
    of 
    priest 

    And 
    queer 
    threw 
    up 
    at 
    the 
    sight 
    of 
    that 

    think 
    saw 
    you 
    in 
    an 
    ice 
    cream 
    parlor 

    Drinking 
    milk 
    shakes 
    cold 
    and 
    long 

    Smiling 
    and 
    waving 
    and 
    looking 
    so 
    fine 

    Don't 
    think 
    you 
    knew 
    you 
    were 
    in 
    this 
    song 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    cold 
    and 
    it 
    rained, 

    so 
    felt 
    like 
    an 
    actor 

    And 
    thought 
    of 
    Ma 
    and 
    wanted 

    to 
    get 
    back 
    there 

    Your 
    face, 
    your 
    race, 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    you 
    talk 

    kiss 
    you, 
    you're 
    beautiful, 
    want 
    you 
    to 
    walk

    • 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.
