    • Verse 1
    Hey 

    little 
    emperor 

    come 
    down 
    from 
    your 
    throne 

    The 
    hour 
    glass 
    is 
    empty 
    your 

    time 
    has 
    come 
    and 
    gone 

    The 
    battlements 
    are 
    crumblin' 

    the 
    walls 
    are 
    tumblin' 
    down 

    Your 
    counselors 
    and 
    concu
    bines 

    are 
    getting' outta 
    town 

    Some 
    say 
    it's 
    an 
    omen 
    some 
    say it's 

    the 
    winds 
    of 
    change 

    Which 
    ever 
    way 
    it's 
    goin' 
    it's 

    blowin' like 
    a 
    hur
    ricane 

    Verse 2

    Hey 
    little 
    conqueror 
    where you 
    gonna 
    go 

    The 
    world 
    is 
    even 
    smaller 
    than it 

    was 
    when 
    you 
    left 
    home 

    Emptiness 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    you and 

    detritus 
    behind 

    Nobody 
    ever 
    told 
    you 
    that 

    his
    tory 
    was 
    kind 

    Standin' 
    on 
    the corner 
    your 

    fortune 
    blowin' 
    in 
    the 
    wind 

    Daddy 
    didn't 
    warn 
    you 
    there ain't 

    no 
    goin' 
    home 
    again 

    Verse 3

    No 
    pomp 
    and circumstance 

    no 
    more 
    shock 
    and 
    awe 

    Your 
    just 
    a little 
    emperor 
    that's 

    Interlude 1
    all 





    Verse 4
    Hey 
    little 
    hypocrite 
    what 

    you 
    gonna 
    say 

    When you 
    wind 
    up 
    standin' 
    naked 

    on 
    the 
    final 
    judgement 
    day 

    How 
    you 
    gonna 
    justify 
    it 

    who 
    you 
    gonna 
    call 

    What if 
    it turns 
    out 
    that 
    God 

    don't 
    look 
    like 
    you 
    at 
    all 

    The 
    leaves 
    are 
    in 
    the teacup 
    the 

    hieroglyphic
    s on 
    the 
    wall 

    You 
    ain't 
    the 
    first 
    to rise 
    up 
    you sure 

    won't 
    be 
    the 
    last 
    to fall 

    Verse 5

    Hey 
    little 
    emperor 
    come 

    down 
    from 
    you 
    throne 

    And 
    let 
    another 
    emperor 
    climb 
    on

      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

      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 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.
