    Verse 1
    Look 
    outside 
    the 
    win
    dow, 

    there's 
    a 
    woman 
    being 
    grabbed 

    C 
    Em F 
    G 

    They've 
    dragged 
    her 
    to 
    the 
    bushes 
    and 

    now 
    she's 
    being 
    stabbed 

    E Am 

    Maybe 
    we 
    should 
    call 
    the cops 

    and 
    try 
    to stop 
    the 
    pain 

    F Am 
    Dm G 

    But 
    Monopoly 
    is 
    so 
    much 
    fun, 

    I'd 
    hate 
    to 
    blow 
    the game 

    C 
    Am Eb 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    interest 
    anybody

    Outside 
    of 
    a small 
    circle 
    of 

    friends. 

    Verse 2

    Riding 
    down 
    the 
    high
    way, 
    yes, 

    my 
    back 
    is 
    getting 
    stiff 

    Thir
    teen 
    cars 
    are 
    piled 
    up, 

    they're 
    hanging 
    on 
    a cliff. 

    Maybe 
    we 
    should 
    pull 
    them 
    back 

    with 
    our 
    tow
    ing 
    chain 

    But 
    we 
    gotta 
    move 
    and 
    we 
    might 
    get 
    sued 

    and 
    it 
    looks 
    like 
    it's 
    gon
    na 
    rain 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    interest 
    anybody 

    Outside 
    of 
    a small 
    circle 
    of 
    friends. 

    Verse 3

    Sweating 
    in 
    the 
    ghetto 
    with 
    the 

    (colored Panthers) and 

    the poor 

    The 
    rats 
    have 
    joined 
    the ba
    bies 
    who 

    are 
    sleep
    ing 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Now 
    wouldn't 
    it 
    be 
    a riot 
    if 

    they 
    really 
    blew 
    their 
    tops? 

    But 
    they 
    got 
    too 
    much 
    already 

    and 
    be
    sides 
    we 
    got 
    the 
    cops 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    interest 
    anybody 

    Outside 
    of 
    a small 
    circle 
    of 

    friends. 

    Verse 4

    Oh 
    there's 
    a 
    dirty 
    pa
    per 
    using 

    sex 
    to 
    make 
    a sale 

    The Supreme 
    Court 
    was 
    so 
    upset, 

    they 
    sen
    t 
    him 
    off 
    to 
    jail. 

    Maybe 
    we 
    should 
    help 
    the 
    fiend 
    and 

    take 
    away 
    his 
    fine. 
    (*) 

    But 
    we're 
    busy 
    reading 
    Playboy 
    and 

    the Sunday 
    New 
    York 
    Times 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    interest 
    anybody 

    Out
    side 
    of 
    a 
    small 
    circle 

    of 
    friends 

    Verse 5

    Smoking 
    marihuana is 
    more 

    fun 
    than 
    drinking 
    beer
    , 

    But 
    a 
    friend 
    of 
    ours 
    was 
    captured 
    and 

    they 
    gave 
    him 
    thirty 
    years 

    Maybe 
    we 
    should 
    raise 
    our 
    voices, 

    ask 
    some
    body 
    why 

    But 
    demonstrations 
    are 
    a drag, 

    be
    sides 
    we're 
    much 
    too 
    high 

    And 
    I'm 
    sure 
    it 
    wouldn't 

    interest 
    anybody 

    Outside 
    of a 
    small 
    circle 
    of 
    friends

      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 🙂

      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.
