    Verse 1
    I've 
    come 
    to 
    accept 
    the terms 

    of 
    my 
    expiration 
    date 

    They 
    sched
    uled 
    my 
    last 
    breath 
    on 
    the 

    row 
    at 
    San 
    Quentin 
    State 

    'Least 
    that's 
    what 
    the judge 
    said 

    in 
    that 
    courtroom 
    that 
    day 

    But 
    God, 
    he 
    sure 
    wanted 
    the 
    last 

    word 
    in 
    deciding 
    my 
    fate

    but they 

    found 
    a 
    lump 
    in 
    my 
    throat 

    Thought 
    they 
    caught 
    it 
    early 
    but 

    the 
    doctor 
    came 
    and 
    said 

    Call 
    the 
    father, 
    start

    its 
    spreading 
    to 
    your 
    head

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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.
