    "Can

    Joa,

    knock 
    comes 
    on 
    the 
    door

    Bang! 
    Bang!

    upon 
    her 
    head 

    Bang! 
    Bang! 
    Maxwell's 
    silver

    Made 
    sure 
    that 
    she 
    was 
    dead

    gone 
    away 

    So

    "I 
    must

    So, 
    o,

    turns 
    her

    Interlude 2



    Verse 3
    P. 
    C. 
    Thirty-one 
    said, 

    "We 
    caught 
    dirty 
    one" 

    Maxwell 
    stands 
    alone 

    Painting 
    testimonial 
    pictures 

    Oh, 
    oh, 
    oh, 
    oh 

    Rose 
    and 
    Valerie, 

    screaming 
    from 
    the 
    gallery 

    Say 
    he 
    must 
    go 
    free 
    (Maxwell 
    must 
    go..) 

    The 
    judge 
    does 
    not 
    agree 
    and 
    he 
    tells 
    them 

    So, 
    o, 
    o, 

    But 
    as 
    the 
    words 
    are 
    leaving 
    his 
    lips 

    noise 
    comes 
    from 
    behind 

    Chorus 3
    Bang! 
    Bang! 
    Maxwell's 
    silver 
    hammer 

    Came 
    down 
    upon 
    his 
    head 

    Bang! 
    Bang! 
    Maxwell's 
    silver 
    hammer 

    Made 
    sure 
    that 
    he 
    was 
    dead

    • 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.
