    Verse 1
    Bombs 
    are dropping, 
    smoke 

    fills 
    the air 

    wanna 
    duck 
    and 
    cover 
    but I've 

    gotta 
    stay 
    out 
    here 

    'Cause 
    know 
    myself 
    and if 

    hole 
    up 
    in my 
    room 

    I'll 
    be con
    sumed 
    by 

    the doom 
    and 
    the gloom 

    Verse 2
    So 
    call 
    John 
    cause I 
    know 

    he knows 
    sorrow 

    He 
    says 
    "I'll 
    be 
    in 
    the 
    city 
    tomorrow" 

    So 
    go 
    down 
    and 
    watch 
    him 
    sing 

    And 
    the way he 
    sings 
    sends 

    a chill 
    right through 
    me 

    Verse 3
    Yeah, 
    and 
    now 
    there's 
    a mountain 
    goat 

    Pre
    cariously 
    balanced 
    on the 

    frog 
    stuck 
    in my 
    throat 

    It 
    says 
    "Sometimes 
    whispering's ok 

    But 
    maybe 
    you'd 
    feel 
    better 

    if 
    you screamed 
    today" 

    Verse 4
    The 
    lady 
    took the 
    baby 
    know 

    she 
    loves 
    the baby 

    But the 
    baby 
    has 
    a daddy 
    and 

    and his 
    daddy 
    loves him, 
    too 

    How 
    could 
    she 
    take 
    the baby, 

    maybe 
    she's gone 
    crazy 

    She won't 
    share, 
    it's not 
    fair, 

    there's nothing 
    I can 
    do 

    Verse 5
    The 
    lady 
    took the 
    baby 
    know 

    she loves 
    the baby 

    But the 
    baby 
    has 
    a daddy 
    and 
    and 

    his 
    daddy 
    loves 
    him, too 

    How 
    could 
    she take 
    the baby, 

    maybe 
    she's 
    gone crazy 

    She won't 
    share, 
    it's not 
    fair, 

    Verse 6
    there's nothing 
    I can 
    do 

    Tuesday 
    night 
    grandma 

    curled 
    up 
    in my 
    bed 

    By 
    Wednesday 
    morning, 

    my 
    grandma 
    was 
    dead 

    I was 
    in 
    Charlotte, 
    took 
    the bus 
    home 

    Her 
    shoes, 
    watch 
    and 
    teeth 

    were 
    still 
    in 
    my 
    room 

    And 
    Verse 7
    as 
    lay 
    me 
    down 
    to sleep, 

    felt 
    her spirit 
    rise 
    up 
    through 
    me 

    She 
    said 
    "I got 
    to live 
    a long 
    86 years, 

    dry 
    your 
    tears 

    I know 
    it's hard 
    but 
    please 
    let 
    go 
    so 
    can 

    meet your 
    grandpa 
    in the 
    undertow 

    Chin 
    up, 
    girl, 
    you've 
    gotta 
    be strong 
    and 
    know 

    when 
    you're singing 
    I'm 
    singing 
    along" 

    Verse 8
    The 
    lady 
    took the 
    baby 

    know 
    she 
    loves 
    the baby 

    But 
    the 
    baby 
    has 
    a daddy 
    and 
    and 

    his 
    daddy 
    loves 
    him, too 

    How 
    could 
    she 
    take 
    the baby, 

    maybe 
    she's gone 
    crazy 

    She won't 
    share, 
    it's not 
    fair, 

    there's nothing 
    can do 

    The 
    Verse 9
    lady 
    took 
    the baby 
    know 

    she loves 
    the baby 

    But the 
    baby 
    has 
    a daddy 
    and 
    and 

    his 
    daddy 
    loves 
    him, too 

    How 
    could 
    she take 
    the baby, 

    maybe 
    she's 
    gone crazy 

    She won't 
    share, 
    it's 
    not fair, 

    Verse 10
    there's nothing 
    I can 
    do 

    Little 
    bitty 
    baby, 
    so 
    far 
    away, 

    we 
    hope 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    come 
    home 
    soon 

    When 
    we're 
    not 
    together, 
    now 
    or 
    ever, 

    always 
    remem
    ber 
    love 
    you 

    Little 
    bitty 
    baby, 
    so 
    far 
    away, 

    we 
    hope 
    that 
    you 
    can 
    come 
    home 
    soon 

    When 
    we're 
    not 
    together, 
    now 
    or 
    ever, 

    always 
    remember 
    love 
    you

    • 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.
