    Verse 1
    The messenger 
    came 

    with 
    bad 
    news 
    from 
    the 
    front 

    Said 
    "the soldiers 
    are starving 
    and 

    their swords 
    are 
    all 
    blun

    They 
    need 
    a show 
    of 
    support 

    or 
    some 
    futile 
    sign 

    That's 
    what 
    they 
    told 
    me 
    to tell 
    you, 

    not 
    even 
    the 
    words 
    are 
    mine..." 

    Verse 2
    The 
    messenger 
    came 
    with 
    bad 

    news 
    from 
    the 
    war 

    Said 
    "the 
    fine 
    young 
    men 
    forgot 

    who 
    they 
    were 
    fighting 
    for 

    They 
    don't 
    wanna 
    be 
    stars 

    on 
    your 
    tv 
    screen 

    That's 
    the 
    general 
    feeling, 

    please 
    don't 
    blame 
    it 
    on 
    me" 

    Verse 3
    And 
    the 
    people 
    said 
    "one 

    and 
    one 
    is 
    two 

    There's 
    nothing 
    left 
    for 
    us 
    to do 

    But 
    since 
    we 
    can blame 
    it 
    all 
    on 
    you 

    We 
    will 
    kill 
    the 
    mes
    senger" 

    Verse 4
    The 
    mes
    sen
    ger 
    came 

    with 
    bad 
    news 
    from 
    the 
    town 

    Said 
    "the 
    phone-lines 
    are 
    are 
    on 
    strike 

    and 
    the doormen 
    are all 
    down 

    They've 
    turned 
    your 
    den 

    of 
    thieves 
    into 
    temple 

    They 
    need someone 
    of stature 

    to 
    set 
    them 
    an 
    ex
    ample" 

    Verse 5
    And 
    the 
    people 
    said 
    "two 

    and two 
    is 
    four 

    Don't 
    tell 
    us 
    anymore 

    We 
    all 
    know 
    the 
    score 

    We 
    must 
    kill 
    the 
    mes
    sen
    ger

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    Someone 
    brought 

    the 
    news 
    to 
    the 
    messenger's 
    folks 

    He 
    said 
    "your 
    son's 
    been 

    killed 
    two 
    times" 

    They 
    said 
    "is 
    that 
    joke? 

    He said 
    "no 

    He 
    was 
    he 
    vic
    tim 
    of 
    ignorant 
    minds 

    hate 
    to 
    bring 
    such 
    bad 
    news, 

    please 
    don't 
    think 
    me 
    unkind" 

    Verse 7
    And 
    the 
    family 
    said 
    "one 

    and one 
    is 
    two 

    There's 
    nothing 
    left 
    for 
    us 
    to 
    do 

    But 
    since 
    you're 
    here 
    and 

    we 
    can 
    blame 
    it 
    on 
    you 

    We 
    will 
    kill 
    the 
    mes
    senger 

    So 
    if 
    you 
    want 
    to 
    send 

    mes
    sage...

    • 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.
