    Verse 1
    You

    and 
    the

    and 
    the 
    TV 
    news

    Somebody's 
    army 
    is 
    always

    There's 
    gon

    They 
    got 
    guns 
    and 
    tanks 
    and 
    planes 

    The wells 
    Verse 2
    are gone 
    dry

    air 
    is 
    acid 
    rain

    after 
    war

    of 
    war 
    from 
    the

    beast 


    Verse 3
    Good 
    mothers 
    cry 
    'cause

    rivers 
    run 
    high 

    With 
    the blood 
    of 
    too 
    many 
    son

    Some 
    people 
    say 
    peace 
    is 
    on 
    the 
    way 

    But 
    the worst 
    is 
    still 
    to 
    come 

    'Cause 
    the prophets

    us 
    what

    in 
    the cities 
    and 
    the mis

    siles 
    stand 
    ready 
    for 
    flight 

    pale 
    horse 
    rides 
    like 
    the wind 

    across 
    the night 

    And 
    that 
    rum
    blin' 
    in 
    the desert 
    like 

    thun
    der 
    gettin' 
    closer 

    Are the 
    trumpet's 
    gettin' 

    ready 
    to 
    blow 

    There's 
    gonna 
    be 
    a shout 

    that 
    will 
    wake 
    the 
    dead 

    We

    be 
    ready 
    to 
    go

    • 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.
