    Oh, 
    the motor 
    city's 

    burnin' 

    It ain't 
    no thing 
    in the 
    world 

    that I 
    can do 

    Don't ya 
    know 

    Don't 
    ya know 
    the big 
    D 

    is 
    burnin'? 

    Ain't no thing 
    in 
    the world 

    that 
    Johnny 
    can do 

    My home 
    town 
    burnin' 
    down 

    to 
    the ground 

    Worser 
    than Viet 
    Nam 

    Well, 
    it started 
    on 
    12th and 
    Clairmont, 

    this 
    mornin' 

    I just 
    don't 
    know what 
    it's all 
    about 

    Well, 
    it star
    ted 
    on 
    12th and Clairmont, 

    this 
    mornin' 

    I 
    don't 
    know 
    what it's 
    all 
    about 

    The fire 
    wagon 
    kept 
    comin' 

    The snipers 
    just 
    wouldn't 

    let 
    'em put 
    it out 

    Fire 
    bomb 
    bustin' 
    all 
    around 
    me 

    An' 
    soldiers 
    was 
    ev'rywhere 

    Well, 
    fire 
    bomb 
    fall
    in' all 

    around 
    me 

    And 
    soldiers 
    standin' 
    ev'rywhere 

    I could 
    hear the 
    people 
    screaming 

    Sirens 
    fill 
    the air 

    I don't 
    know 
    what the trouble 
    is 

    I 
    can't 
    stay around 
    to 
    find 
    it out 

    I 
    don't 
    know, 
    I 
    don't 
    know 

    What the 
    trouble 
    is, 

    this 
    mo'nin' 

    I just 
    can't 
    stay 
    around 
    to find 
    it 
    out 

    Takin' 
    my 
    wife 
    an 
    my family 

    And little 
    Johnny 
    Lee 
    is 
    clearin' 
    out 

    The motor 
    city's 
    burnin' 

    Ain't 
    a 
    thing 
    that 
    I 
    can do 

    Well, 
    the motor 
    city's 
    burnin' 

    Ain't 
    a thing 
    that I 
    can do 

    I 
    just 
    hope, people 

    It'll 
    never 
    happen 
    to 
    you 

    Yes, 
    yes, 
    I could hear 
    the fireman 

    FADES- 

    Said, 
    'Look, get 
    out
    ta 
    here' 

    It's 
    too hot.

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
