    Verse 1
    There's 
    place 
    in 
    the 
    world 
    for 
    the 
    angry 
    young 
    man 

    With 
    his 
    working 
    class 
    ties 

    and 
    his 
    radical 
    plans 

    He 
    re
    fuses 
    to 
    bend 

    He 
    re
    fuses 
    to 
    crawl 

    He's 
    always 
    at 
    home 
    with 

    his 
    back 
    to 
    the wall 

    And 
    he's 
    proud 
    of his 
    scars 

    and 
    the 
    battles 
    he's 
    lost 

    And 
    he struggles 
    and 
    bleed
    s as 

    he 
    hang
    s on 
    the cross 

    And 
    he 
    likes 
    to 
    be 
    known 
    as 
    the 
    angry 
    young 

    man 


    Verse 2

    Give 
    moment 
    or two 
    to 
    the 

    angry 
    young 
    man 

    With his 
    foot 
    in his mouth 

    and his heart 
    in his hand 

    He's been 
    stabbed 
    in the back 

    He's 
    been mis
    understood 

    It's 
    com
    fort 
    to know 
    his 

    inten
    tions 
    are good 

    And he 
    sits 
    in a room 
    with 

    a lock 
    on the door 

    With 
    his 
    maps 
    and his medals 

    laid 
    out 
    on the floor 

    And he 
    likes 
    to be known 
    as the 
    angry 

    young 
    man 


    Verse 3
    I believe 
    I've 
    passed 
    the 

    age 
    of 
    consciousness 

    And 
    righteous 
    rage 

    found 
    that 
    just 
    sur
    viving 

    was 
    a noble 
    fight 

    once 
    believed 
    in 
    causes 
    too 

    had 
    my 
    pointless 
    point 
    of view 

    And 
    life 
    went 
    on no 
    matter 
    who 

    was wrong 
    or right 

    Verse 4
    And there's 
    al
    ways 
    a place 
    for 

    the 
    angry 
    young 
    man 

    With his 
    fist 
    in the 
    air 
    and his head 

    in the sand 

    And he's 
    never 
    been 
    able 

    to learn 
    from 
    mistakes 

    So 
    he 
    can't 
    understand 
    why 

    his heart 
    always breaks 

    But 
    his honor 
    is pure 
    and his cour

    age 
    as well 

    And he's 
    fair 
    and he's true 

    and he's bor
    ing 
    as hell 

    And 
    he'll 
    go to 
    the grave 
    as an 
    angry 
    old 





    man 

    Verse 5
    There's 
    a place 
    in the 
    world for the 

    angry 
    young 
    man 

    With 
    his 
    working 
    class 
    ties 

    and 
    his radical 
    plans 

    He re
    fuses 
    to bend 

    He re
    fuses 
    to crawl 

    He's always 
    at 
    home with 

    his back 
    to 
    the wall 

    And 
    he's 
    proud 
    of his scars 

    And the battles 
    he's lost 

    And 
    he 
    struggles 
    and bleed

    as he hang
    on the cross 

    And 
    he 
    likes 
    to be known 
    as the 
    angry 
    young 
    man

    • 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.
