    Verse 1
    [Drums and bass] 

    Freddie's dead, 

    that's 
    what I 
    said 

    Let 
    the 
    man 
    wrap 
    plan, 

    said 
    he'd 
    send 
    him 
    home 

    But 
    his 
    hope 
    was 
    rope 

    Verse 2
    and 
    he 
    should've 
    known 

    Everybody's 
    misused 
    him, 

    ripped 
    him 
    up 
    and 
    abused 
    him 

    An
    other 
    junkie 
    plan, 
    pushin' 
    dope 
    for 
    the 
    man 

    terrible 
    blow, 
    but 
    that's 
    how 
    it 
    goes 

    A- 
    Freddie's 
    on 
    the 
    corner 
    now 

    If 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    junkie, 
    wow 

    Remember 
    Freddie's 
    dead 

    Verse 3
    We're 
    all 
    built 
    up 
    with 
    progress 

    But 
    sometimes 
    must 
    confess 

    We 
    can 
    deal 
    with 
    rockets 
    and 
    dreams 

    But 
    reality, 
    what 
    does 
    it 
    mean? 

    Ain't 
    nothing 
    said 

    'Cause 
    Freddie's 
    dead 

    Interlude 1
    Hey, 
    hey, 
    love, 
    love 

    Ha, 
    ha, 
    love, 
    love 

    Yeah- 
    yeah, 
    ha, 
    ha 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    Freddie's 
    dead 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    All 
    want 
    is 
    some 
    peace 
    of 
    mind 

    With 
    little 
    love 
    I'm 
    trying 
    to 
    find 

    This 
    could 
    be 
    such 
    beautiful 
    world, 

    with 
    wonderful 
    girl 

    Ooh, 
    need 
    woman, 
    child 

    Don't 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    like 
    Freddie 
    now 

    'Cause 
    Freddie's 
    dead 

    Verse 5
    Everybody's 
    misused 
    him, 

    ripped 
    him 
    up 
    and 
    abused 
    him 

    An
    other 
    junkie 
    plan, 
    pushin' 
    dope 
    for 
    the 
    man 

    Freddie's 
    on 
    the 
    corner 
    now 


    If 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    be 
    junkie, 
    why 

    Outro 1
    Remember 
    Freddie's 
    dead 

    Ha, 
    ha, 
    ha...

    • 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.
