    Verse 1

    Turning 
    and 
    turning 

    With
    in 
    the widen
    ing 
    gyre 

    The 
    falcon 
    cannot 
    hear 
    the 
    falconer 

    Things 
    fall 
    apart 

    The center 
    cannot 
    hold 

    And 
    blood-dimmed 
    tide 

    tide 

    Is 
    loosed 
    upon 
    the world 


    Verse 2
    Nothing 
    is 
    sacred 

    The 
    ceremony 
    sinks 

    Innocence 
    is 
    drowned 

    In 
    anarchy 

    The 
    best 
    lack 
    conviction 

    Given 
    some 
    time 
    to 
    think 

    And the 
    worst 
    are full of 
    passion 

    without 
    mercy 


    Verse 3
    Surely, 
    some 
    revelation 
    is 
    at 
    hand 

    Surely, 
    it's 
    the second 
    coming 

    And the 
    wrath 
    has 
    finally 
    taken 
    form 

    For 
    what 
    is this 
    rough 
    beast 

    Its hour 
    come 
    at 
    last 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 

    to 
    be 
    born 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 

    to 
    be 
    born 

    Verse 4

    Ah, Amen 

    To be 
    born 

    Ah, 
    amen 


    Verse 5
    Hoping 
    and 
    hoping 

    As 
    if 
    by my 
    weak 
    faith 

    The 
    spirit 
    of this 
    world 

    Would 
    heal 
    and 
    rise 

    Vast 
    are 
    the shad
    ows 

    That 
    straddle 
    and 
    strafe 

    And 
    struggle 
    in 
    the darkness 

    Troub
    ling 
    my 
    eyes 

    Verse 6
    Shaped 
    like 
    a lion 

    It 
    has 
    the 
    head 
    of a 
    man 

    With 
    gaze 
    as 
    blank 

    And 
    pitiless 
    as 
    the 
    sun 

    And it's 
    moving 
    its 
    slow 
    thighs 

    Across 
    the 
    desert 
    sands 

    Through 
    dark 
    indignant 

    Reel
    ing 
    falcons 

    Verse 7
    Surely, 
    some 
    revelation 
    is 
    at 
    hand 

    Surely, 
    it's 
    the second 
    coming 

    And the 
    wrath 
    has 
    fi
    nally 
    taken 
    form 

    For 
    what 
    is this 
    rough 
    beast 

    Its 
    hour 
    come 
    at last 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 

    to 
    be 
    born 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 
    to be 
    born 

    Ah, 
    Verse 8
    Amen 

    To be 
    born 

    Head of 
    man, 

    shape 
    of a lion 

    Verse 9
    Raging 
    and 
    raging 

    It 
    rises 
    from 
    the 
    deep 

    Opening 
    its 
    eyes 

    After 
    twenty 
    centuries 

    Vexed 
    to 
    a nightmare 

    Out 
    of 
    stony 
    sleep 

    By 
    rocking 
    cradle 

    By 
    the 
    Sea 
    of Ga
    lilee 

    Verse 10
    Surely, 
    some 
    revel
    ation 

    is 
    at 
    hand 

    Surely, 
    it's the 
    second 
    coming 

    And the 
    wrath 
    has 
    finally 
    taken 
    form 

    For 
    what is 
    this 
    rough 
    beast 

    Its 
    hour 
    come 
    at 
    last 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 

    to 
    be 
    born 

    Slouching 
    towards 
    Bethlehem 
    to be 
    born 

    Verse 11
    Ah, 
    amen 

    To be 
    born 

    Head of 
    man, 

    shape 
    of a lion 

    It's 
    got the 
    shape 
    of 
    lion 

    Head 
    of 
    a man, 
    shape 
    of 
    lion

    • 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.
