    You 
    know 
    read in the 
    paper the 
    Verse 1
    other day, 

    about 
    all 
    the progress 
    we 
    done 
    made. 

    Said opportunity 
    was really 
    there 
    now, 

    after 
    all 
    the dues 
    we done 
    paid. 

    Said 
    a good education 
    is 
    all you need, 

    and 
    you can 
    get that 
    in our school. 

    Of 
    course, 
    have 
    to act 
    responsible 
    and 

    don't 
    socialize 
    with a 
    crazy 
    militant 
    fool. 

    say, 
    ooh, 
    ooh, 

    it 
    sure 
    is good 
    to 
    be 
    free. 

    But 
    I'm just 
    sitting 
    here thinking, 
    huh, 

    who 
    do they 
    think they're 
    kidding with 
    that 
    jazz? 

    You 
    know my 
    pastor 
    told me 
    the other 
    day, 

    say 
    practice 
    the golden 
    rule, 
    said 
    son 
    you 

    free 
    now, 
    so 
    love everybody 
    and don't 

    mess around 
    and 
    lose your 
    cool. 

    That 
    night 
    I was 
    walking 
    home 
    feeling 
    good, 

    praying 
    like a 
    son 
    of a gun, 
    when 
    a cop 
    yelled 

    Hey, nigga, 
    you look 
    guilty, 
    come 
    here. 

    What the hell 
    is you 
    done done? 

    said, 
    whoa, whoa, 
    whoa. 

    Officer, 
    you must 
    not 
    have heard.

    here next. 

    That's 
    where a 
    brother will 
    own a 
    big factory, 

    and 
    then we'll 
    all 
    be well 
    -fixed 

    Now, 
    know it's hard 
    to 
    figure 
    out how 
    it 
    helps me 
    and you, 

    but, 
    hell, 
    try 

    Cause 
    it's 
    got to be 
    so,

    man told

    And

    • 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.
