    Verse 1

    Late 
    afternoon 
    back 

    in New 
    York 
    town 

    Waking 
    up 
    as 
    the wheels 
    touch 
    down 

    Pick 
    up 
    my 
    gui
    tar 
    and 
    walk 
    away 

    Wish 
    was 
    going 
    home 
    to stay 

    Verse 2
    Line 
    of 
    taxis 
    wait 
    my 
    turn 

    Tar 
    and 
    asphalt, 
    exhaust 
    and 
    fumes 

    Be
    side 
    the road 
    on 

    patch 
    of 
    ground 

    Taxi 
    driver
    are kneeling 

    down 

    Verse 3
    Beneath 
    the concrete 
    sky 

    watch 
    them 
    pray 

    While 
    the people 
    of 
    the world 

    hurry 
    on 
    their 
    way 

    I think 
    they're 
    praying 
    for 

    us 
    all 
    today 

    The stories 
    that fell 
    from 
    the sky 

    that 
    day 

    Verse 4
    Chorus: 
    This is 
    the 

    land 
    of 
    the living 

    This 
    is 
    the 
    land 
    that's 
    mine 

    She still 
    watches 
    over 
    Man
    hattan 

    She's 
    still 
    holding 
    onto 

    that 
    torch 
    for 
    life 

    Verse 5

    Back 
    home 
    fire's 
    still 
    burning 

    I can 
    see 
    it in the 
    air 

    Pictures 
    of faces 
    posted 
    everywhere 

    They say 
    hazel 
    eyes, 
    chestnut 
    hair 

    Mother 
    of 
    two 
    missing 
    down 
    there 

    Verse 6
    I pass 
    the 
    firemen 
    on duty 
    tonight 

    Car
    pets 
    of flowers 
    in candlelight 

    And 
    thank 
    you 
    in a child's 
    scrawl 

    Taped 
    to the 
    Third 
    street 

    firehouse 
    wall 

    Verse 7
    There's 
    shadows 
    of the 
    lost 

    on the 
    faces 
    see 

    Brothers 
    and 
    strangers 
    on 

    this island 
    of 
    grief 

    There's 
    death 
    in the 
    air 

    But 
    there's 
    life 
    on the 
    street 

    There's 
    life 
    on 
    the street 



    (chorus) 

    Verse 8
    Then I 
    got 
    in a taxi, 

    said 
    Hudson 
    Street 
    please 

    He 
    started 
    the 
    meter 
    and he 
    looked 
    at me 

    glanced 
    at 
    the name 
    on 

    the back 
    of his 
    seat 

    And 
    looked 
    out the 
    window 

    at the 
    ghost 
    filled 
    streets 

    Verse 9
    no
    ticed 
    the cuts 
    on his 

    hand 
    and his face 

    And I said 
    You're bleeding, 
    are you 
    okay? 

    He 
    said 
    "I'm 
    not 
    so good 

    got 
    beat 
    up 
    today 

    And 
    I'm 
    not 
    one of 
    them no 

    matter 
    what they 
    say 

    Verse 10
    I'm just 
    worried 
    about 
    my family 

    My 
    wife's 
    in the 
    house 
    and 

    she's scared 
    to 
    leave" 

    And 
    I didn't know 
    what to say 

    didn't know 
    what to 
    say 

    I said 
    a prayer 
    for 
    him 
    anyway 

    Outro 1
    (chorus)

    • 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.
