    Verse 1
    Every 
    year 
    we say, 
    it's 
    a 
    brand 
    new 
    day 

    Yet 
    we 
    hang 
    on 
    to tradi
    tions 

    We 
    toss 
    and 
    turn, 
    refuse 
    to burn 

    The 
    deeds 
    to the 
    evil 
    inef
    ficience 

    We 
    fuss 
    and 
    fight
    , 

    can't 
    make 
    it right 

    When 
    convenience 
    brings 
    us 
    sorrow 

    Like 
    days 
    of 
    old, 
    a 
    heartless 
    soul 

    Still 
    steals 
    what 
    he can't 
    borrow 

    An
    d

    The 
    mellifluous 
    songs 
    that 

    have been 
    sung 
    so long 

    Corrupted 
    the 
    mind 
    of a 

    wilted 
    flower

    Who 
    said 
    love, 
    not 
    hate, 

    an
    d 
    I won't 
    hesitate 

    To 
    bask 
    in the 
    realm 

    of the 
    mammon's 
    power 

    Old 
    folks 
    cry, 
    while 
    young 
    folks 
    die 

    An
    d 
    give up 
    all 
    their reason 
    for 
    trying 

    Could 
    it be, 
    it's 
    pretty 
    plain 
    to me

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
