    Verse 1
    It's 
    so 
    quiet 
    in the 

    ru
    ins 
    walking 
    though the 
    old 
    town 

    Stones 
    crumbling 
    un
    der my 
    feet 
    I 
    see 

    smoke 
    for miles 
    around 

    Oh 
    it's 
    enough 
    to make 
    you weep, 

    all 
    that 
    remains 
    of 
    the main 
    street 

    Up 
    in 
    the park 
    on 
    Sunday, 

    dogs 
    chasing 
    and 
    the chil
    dren 
    played 

    Old 
    man 
    with 
    his 
    head 
    down, 

    can't 
    see 
    nothing 
    more 
    around, 
    no 

    Verse 2

    But 
    he remembers 
    how 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be, 

    back 
    in the 
    old 
    days, 

    So 
    nice 
    to see 
    you 
    coming 

    back 
    in 
    this 
    town 
    again 

    It's 
    nice 
    to see 
    a friendly 
    face 
    come 

    peeping 
    through 
    having 
    tea 

    In 
    the 
    afternoon, 
    so 
    nice 
    to see 
    you 
    coming 
    back 

    Interlude 1
    in 
    this 
    town 
    again 




    Verse 3
    Ah 
    but 
    it's 
    all 
    changed 
    winter 

    turned 
    on 
    a man 

    Came 
    down 
    on 
    day 
    when 
    no- 

    one 
    was 
    looking 
    and 
    it 

    Stole 
    away 
    the land, 

    people 
    running 
    scared, 
    losing 
    hands 

    Dodging 
    shadows 
    of 
    falling 
    sand, 

    buildings 
    standing 
    like 
    empty 
    shells 

    And 
    nobody...helping no- 
    one 
    else 

    Young 
    child 
    with 
    his 
    hands 
    high, 

    ain't 
    able 
    to see 
    no reason 
    why, 
    no 

    Verse 4
    But he 
    remembers 
    how 
    it 
    used 
    to 
    be, 

    back in 
    the 
    old days, 

    So 
    nice 
    to see 
    you coming 

    back 
    in 
    this 
    town 
    again 

    It's 
    nice 
    to see 
    a friendly 
    face 

    come 
    peeping 
    through 

    You'd 
    better 
    know 
    what 

    you're 
    going 
    through 
    now 

    You 
    came 
    back 
    here 
    to 
    find 
    your 

    home 
    is 
    a 
    black 
    horizon 

    Verse 5
    That 
    you 
    don't 
    recognize, 

    evil 
    destruction 
    has 
    taken 
    everything 

    You'd 
    better 
    walk 
    on 
    the side 

    while 
    you're 
    still 
    walking 

    Just 
    keep 
    on 
    walking 
    on 
    down 

    the street 
    keep 
    your 
    dis
    tance 

    From 
    the 
    people 
    you 
    meet. 

    Verse 6
    Oh 
    Lord 
    and 
    you'd 
    better 

    watch 
    your 
    eyes 

    'Cause 
    if smoke 
    gets 
    in 
    them, 

    baby 
    you 
    won't 
    rise 
    again. 



    Where's 
    it 
    leading 
    to 

    freedom 
    at 
    what 
    cost 

    People 
    needing 
    more 
    and 
    more 

    and 
    it's 
    all 
    get
    ting 
    lost 

    I 
    want 
    back
    , 
    I 
    want 
    back

    Back 
    to 
    the time 
    when 
    the 

    earth 
    was 
    green 

    And there 
    was 
    no 
    high 
    walls 

    and the sea 
    was 
    clean 

    Don't 
    stop 
    that 
    sun 
    to shine, 

    it's 
    not 
    yours 
    or mine, 
    no.

      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

      "

      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.
