    Are you ready? 

    Are we gonna do it 
    again? 

    Hell 
    yes, go! 

    I gotta have some water. 

    I can't ever sing 

    that song right off 
    the bat. 

    Oh, 
    I gotta 
    warm up to it. 

    We'll 
    try it again. 

    You gonna do 
    it right now? 

    Yeah, that's good. 
    That's 
    fine. 

    Don't try to 
    do it right. 

    Just 
    do it real stinkin'. 

    That's 
    the only way I 
    can do it. 

    OK, 
    let's go. 
    Go. 
    Go. 

    On 
    July 
    the 2nd 
    in 1953, 

    was doing 
    time 
    for 
    armed 
    robbery. 

    At 
    4 in 
    the morning, 

    I was 
    sleeping 
    in my 
    cell. 

    heard a 
    whistle blow, 

    and 
    then I 
    heard somebody 
    yell, 

    Well, 
    there's 
    riot 
    goin' 
    on, 

    yeah, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    goin' 
    on 

    Ooh, 
    well, there's 
    a riot 
    goin' 
    on 

    up 

    in 
    cell 
    block 
    number 
    nine 

    Now, 
    the trouble 
    started 
    up 

    in 
    cell block 
    number 
    four 

    It 
    spread 
    like 
    fire 
    all 
    across 
    the 
    prison floor 

    said, OK, 
    boys, 

    I'm getting 
    ready 
    to run. 

    Here 
    comes 
    the warden 

    with a 
    great big 
    Tommy gun. 

    And there's 
    riot 
    going 
    on. 

    Yeah, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    going 
    on. 

    Ooh, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    going 
    on 

    up 
    in 
    cell 
    block 
    number 
    nine. 





    Now 
    the wards will 
    come out 

    with your hands 
    up in the 
    air. 

    If 
    you don't quit 
    this riot, 

    now 
    you're all 
    gon
    na get 
    the chair. 

    Scarface 
    Jones said 
    it's just 

    too 
    late to quit. 

    Pass 
    the 
    dynamite 

    because 
    the 
    fuse, 
    she's lit. 

    And there's 
    riot 
    going 
    on. 

    Yeah, 
    yeah, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    going 
    on. 

    Ooh, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    going 
    on 

    up 
    in 
    cell 
    block 
    number 
    nine. 

    In 
    the 47th 
    hour 
    now, 

    the 
    tear 
    gas got 
    our 
    men, 

    we're 
    all 
    back 
    in our 
    cells, 

    but 
    every 
    now and 
    then, 

    well there's 
    riot 
    goin' 
    on, 

    yeah, 
    there's 
    a riot 
    goin' 
    on, 

    oh, 
    there's 
    riot 
    goin' 
    on 

    up 
    in cell block 
    number 
    nine

    • 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.
