Verse 1
D
C
D
C
D
Set the alarm for half -past five
C
And its high -pitched hum
D
C
brought me alive again
D
C
D
Dialed the bed into the wall, resets
Gaining two more feet of space
C
in which to dress
Out of the night spell, out
of the sleep cell,
G
D
into the tunnel of day
I took the high -speed lift to Gallery 9
C
and stood in the mail
D
on Married Workers Line, Grade 4
Gave me rank and number to the slot
And drew me daily, what a rash,
and took the lot
C
Oh, what a great day!
Oh, what a May Day!
A
D
Oh, what a day to be young!
The thermostats, they were set for spring
C
When I rode the conveyor
D
to the female wing of law
Meant to buy the ventilation shaft
C
D
Love light shining through the
visor of a mask
C
Oh, what a great day!
G
Oh, what a May day!
D
Oh, what a day to be young!
Her hand was in mine
as we made our way
C
To the high -speed vertical
D
Shuttle Bay third class.
The daytime argon light shone
bleak and hot
When we showed our permits
to the shuttle guard.
C
A moment of fear, love,
then we were clear, love,
G
D
then we were movin' away
We lay in the capsule
and we took our ease
C
while the shuttle leveled off
D
C
D
at about two G's and so
C
D
As the admin wings
C
D
the private galleries and passed
C
D
The living quarters
of the citizens first class
C
Unfasten your seatbelts,
now we're at topside,
G
D
F
this is the eye of the world.
D
At last in the observation tower
C
we stood there silent
D
in the breathless autumn dawn.
C
D
Saw the knives of sun come bronze
and gold and green.
Gilding all the face of earth
we'd never seen.
C
Don't cover your eyes,
don't turn from the sunrise,
A
D
this is the face of the earth.
C
Look how the hills show rosy red,
and the shag -green scum
D
of the river bed is still.
That was once a forest,
G
F
C
those were trees,
D
bearing leaves of green
C
that rustled in the breeze.
What killed off the trees?
What poisoned the breezes?
G
D
What made the rivers run dry?
Look at the land
where the green grass grew.
C
It's dusted over with
D
the rusty hue of death.
There the sea lies
F
stranded by the shore.
D
No fishes swim there
C
D
C
and the seabirds fly no more.
Who sucked the earth
dry?
Whom made the sea die?
D
Look what they've done
with the world.
C
D
Cursing the ones who gave us birth,
C
we turned away from the blighted
D
earth below.
C
They gave us breath,
D
but rubbed us of the air.
C
They killed the grass, the trees,
D
the seas,
the rivers everywhere.
C
The Earth was our birthright!

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
