I don't budge the motives encased

'Bout the world spins yet nobody's

pledged allegiance and why?

His beaming smile knew a private

agony that burns

And when the children met

divinity I sat to watch the merge
Em
Am

It goes pandemonium live
Em

Y'all motha fuckers stand up vo lunteer

tantrums while your plannin' summin' vivid
Am

Play your sympathy card

till the misery clash

And a basket case is in a classless matrix

with elastic stitches
Verse 3
Em

I think it's a bagging only zone,
Am
Em

raggin' a bag of lonely poem remnants

Short of breath like you're

short of fresh

You're a portable mess

Carpetbagger spearheading tear peddling

pretentious art critics, orphans

Trying to dismiss those pioneering

their fortunes
Em

You're a spectacle (yes you are)
Am
Em

Pushin'for pedagogue lacin' up paper

weights walkin' on stilts talking

You touched the hand of god

and I'm like
Am

What are all these evils that plagued

the hearts of men

By sweet talking border patrol until

they fold and let'em in
Em

You got your life in a basket before

I'll bury the hook in my belly just

to volunteer at live aid clinics

For the thrill of ninth grade mimics with eighteen bloody lips,

spittin'
Em
Am

Beanstalk, chalking outlines
Em

before the figures fly

Walking uphill trying to get down
Am

Prominent ghost town litigate

battle pitch darkness

When the light switch hits the artistry

circuit board breaker

Service in the greater half of nature
Em
Am

See money go wild shook when
Em

the exploitation incubated lovely

Warming piggy leader colony to comfort
Am

Numb enough to deny the sin pins

and evil needles even punctured

Till he woke to find his

tourniquet still functioned

Verse 5
Em

Burn burn 'em mostly

Stuck unplucking plumage

out the poultry

Soaking in bulk on a sofa with

duct tape upholstery

Dirty doc stellar space medic

Stoned by the commoners for glowing

Pseudo bloaters buy them

beats till bloated
Em
Am

Happy trail hitchhikers guide to

Complete with a thankless nine

I mean absorbing attention's a must
Am
Em

You don't wanna be overlooked

Yeah, but you don't wanna

be looked over too much
Am

One up for the dashed hopes of fifty
Em

fishermen who crashed boats

And the angels who never hit a bad

note when harmonizing
Am

I'm an armor plated farmer

I'm an archer rising with a drawn bow for the

karma where the bulls eye clings and argues
Em

Dense, spreads like new names

at the writers bench

Either you drink it or sink it,

'cause there ain't no sitting on the fence
Am
Em

You make me chuckle child,
Am

it's hells kitchen now, miss

Recognize your life is merely

bait for bigger fish

  • 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.
