    Verse 1
    Under 
    the 
    ruins 
    of 
    walled 
    ci
    ty 

    Crumbling 
    towers 
    and 
    beams 

    of 
    yellow 
    lights 

    No 
    flags 
    of 
    truce, 
    no 
    cries 
    of 
    pi
    ty 

    The 
    siege 
    guns 
    have 
    been 

    pound
    ing 
    through 
    the 
    nights 

    It 
    took 
    day 
    to 
    build 
    the 
    ci

    We 
    walked 
    through

    streets 

    in 
    the 
    after
    noon 

    As 
    re
    turned 
    across 
    the 
    fields 
    i'd 
    known 

    recog
    nize 
    the 
    walls 
    that 
    once 
    laid 

    Had 
    to 
    stop 
    in 
    my 
    tracks 
    for 
    fear 

    Of 
    walking 
    on 
    the 
    mines 
    I'd 
    laid 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    if 
    built 
    this

    your 
    heart 

    En
    circled 
    you 
    in 
    trenches 

    and 
    barbed 
    wire 

    Then 
    let 
    me 
    build 
    bridge 

    For 
    can
    not 
    fill 
    the

    Then 
    went 
    off 
    to 
    fight 
    some 
    bat
    tle 

    That 
    I'd 
    in
    vented 
    in
    side 
    my 
    head 

    Away 
    so 
    long 
    for 
    years 
    and 
    years 

    You 
    probably 
    thought 

    or 
    even 
    wished 
    that 
    was 
    dead 

    While 
    the 
    armies 
    are 
    all 
    sleep
    ing 

    Beneath 
    the 
    tattered 
    flag 
    we'd 
    made 

    had 
    to

    • 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.
