    went 

    down 
    to that 

    St. 

    James infirmary, 

    and 
    saw some 
    plasma 
    there. 

    I upset 
    asked 
    the 
    doctor, 
    man, 

    now was 
    the donor 
    dark 
    or 
    fair? 

    The 
    doctor 
    laughed, 
    a great 
    big laugh, 

    and 
    he puffed 
    it right in my 
    face. 

    He 
    said, 
    molecule 
    is 
    a molecule, 
    son, 

    and 
    the 
    damn 
    thing 
    has 
    no 
    race. 

    And that 
    was news, 
    sing it. 

    Yes, 
    that 
    was news. 

    That 
    was very, 
    very, very 
    special 
    news. 

    Cause 
    ever 
    since 
    that day 
    we've had 

    those three 
    and 
    equal 
    blues 

    You 
    mean 
    you heard 
    that doctor 
    de
    clare 

    That 
    the plasma 
    in that test 

    tube there 
    could be 

    White 
    man, 
    black 
    man, 

    yellow man, 
    red? 

    That's 
    just what 
    that doctor 
    said 

    The 
    doc put 
    down 
    his doctor 

    book and gave 
    me a very scientific 
    look 

    And 
    he spoke out plain 

    and 
    clear 
    and rational 

    He 
    said, 
    metabolism 
    is 
    international 

    And 
    that 
    was news
    yes 
    that was 
    news, 

    that was 
    very, 
    very, 
    very 
    special 
    news 

    Cause 
    ever 
    since that 
    day we've 

    had those 
    pre 
    -and 
    -equal 
    blues 

    Then 
    the 

    Doc rigged 
    up his microscope 
    with 
    some 

    Berlin 
    blue 
    blood 

    And by 
    gosh it 
    was the same as 

    Chunk 

    Kane, 

    Kuiper 

    Shelf, 

    Chat 

    Milk, or 

    Tim
    buktu 
    blood 

    While 
    those men who 
    think they're 
    noble don't even 

    know that the core 
    puzzle 
    is 
    global 

    Tried 
    disuniting 
    us 
    with their racial 
    supremacy, 
    and flying 
    in the face 
    of old man 
    chemistry, 

    and taking 
    all the facts 
    and trying 
    to twist them. 

    But 
    you can't 
    overthrow the 

    circulatory 
    system, 
    get 
    it? 

    And 
    that was 
    news

    yes 
    that was 
    news. 

    That was 
    very, 
    very, 
    very 
    special 
    news. 

    Cause 
    ever 
    since that 
    day we've 

    had those 
    free 
    and 
    equal 
    blues. 

    So 
    I stayed 
    at that 

    St. 

    James 

    Infirmary 
    couldn't leave that 

    place, it was too interesting 

    But 
    I said to the 
    doctor, give me some more 

    of that scientific talk 
    talk, and he did 

    He said, 
    melt 
    yourself down 
    into a crucible, 

    pour yourself out 
    into a test tube, and 
    what have you 
    got? 

    3 ,500 
    cubic feet of gas, 

    that's the same 
    for the 
    up and 
    lower class 

    Well, 
    I let that 
    pass 

    Carbon, 
    22 pounds, 

    10 ounces. 

    You mean that goes for 
    princes, dukes, and 

    councils? 

    Whatever you are, that's what the 

    mouth 
    says. 

    Car
    bon, 22 
    pounds, 
    10 ounces. 

    Iron, 57 
    grain
    s. 

    Not 
    enough to keep 
    man 
    in 
    chains. 

    500 
    ounces 
    of 
    phosphor, 

    that's whether you're 
    poor or prosperous. 

    Hey buddy, 
    can you spare 
    a match? 

    Sugar, 
    60 ordinary 
    lumps, free 

    and equal rations for 
    all nations. 

    You take 
    22 teaspoons 
    of sodium 

    chlor
    ide, that's 
    salt. 

    You add 38 
    quarts of 

    H2O, 
    that's water. 

    Mix two ounces 
    of 
    lime, 
    a pinch of chloride, 

    a potash, a 
    drop of magnesium, 
    a bit of 
    sulfur. 

    Add 
    our soups and hydrochloric 
    acid 

    and you stir 
    it all 
    up. 

    And what are you? 

    You're a walking 
    drug 
    store. 

    It's an 
    international 
    metabolistic 
    cartel. 

    And 
    that was 
    news

    Yes, 
    that was 
    news. 

    Now 
    you change 
    it. 

    So 
    listen, 
    you 

    African 
    and 

    Indian 
    and 

    Mexican, 

    Mongolian, 

    Tarolean 
    and 

    Tartar. 

    The 
    doctors 
    right 
    be
    hind 
    the 

    Atlantic 

    Charter. 

    The 
    docs 
    be
    hind 
    the 

    New 

    Broth
    er
    hood 
    of 

    Men. 

    As 
    prescribed 
    at 

    San 

    Francis
    co and 

    York
    shire, 

    Dumbarton, 

    Oaks, 
    and 
    at 

    Pots
    dam, 

    Every 
    man, 
    everywhere, 

    is 
    the 
    same 
    when 
    he's got 
    his 
    skin 
    off. 

    And 
    that's 
    the 
    news
    yes, 
    that's 
    the 
    news

    that's 
    the 
    free 
    and 
    equal 
    blues.

    • 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.
