    As the snow flies
    Bm

    Well, on a cold and gray Chicago mornin'
    C
    D

    Another hungry baby child is born
    G

    In the ghetto

    And his mother cries

    Oh, well, people, don't you understand

    some day

    Oh, people, look at you and me

    As the world turns
    Bm

    A hungry little boy with a runny nose
    C
    D

    He plays in the street as the cold wind blows
    G

    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

    And as his hunger burns
    Bm

    So he starts to roam the streets at night
    C

    Where he learns how to steal
    D

    And he learns how to fight
    G

    In the ghetto
    Bridge 2

    Oh, people, don't you understand

    In the ghetto (in the ghetto)

    As her young man dies

    On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'

    • 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.
