    Verse 1
    Down 
    fire 
    escapes, 

    they 
    must 
    escape 

    To 
    clearer 
    skies 
    an
    d kissing 
    gates 

    From 
    books 
    of 
    verse 
    and 
    poetry, 

    to 
    singing 
    grass 
    and 
    raging 

    Seas, 
    em
    broidered 
    on 
    the tapestry 

    of 
    children's 
    faces 

    The jury's 
    verdict 
    finds 
    us 
    guilty 

    Smokestack 
    children 
    sleep 

    un
    easy 

    Burdens 
    borne 
    by 
    tiny 
    hands 
    lift fire 

    lights 
    like 
    grains 
    of 
    sand 

    The 
    jury's 
    verdict 
    finds 
    us 
    guilty 

    Smokestack 
    children 
    sleep 
    uneasy 

    Jury's 
    verdict 
    finds 
    us guilty 

    Smokestack 
    children 
    sleep 
    uneasy 

    Like 
    hungry 
    hawks, 

    their 
    gossip 
    talks 
    of 
    innocence 
    on 
    iron 
    catwalks 

    The 
    child 
    is 
    raised 
    on 
    factory 
    fumes 

    The 
    sirens 
    sound 
    late 
    afternoon 

    The 
    smokestack 
    children 
    die 
    too 
    soon 

    Burst 
    on 
    earth 
    like toy 
    balloons 

    The 
    jury's 
    verdict 
    finds 
    us 
    guilty 

    Smokestack 
    children 
    sleep 

    un
    easy 

    Burdens 
    borne 
    by 
    tiny 
    hands 
    lift 

    fire 
    lights 
    like 
    grains 
    of sand

    jury's 
    verdict 
    finds 
    us 
    guilty 

    Smokestack 
    children

    un
    easy 

    Burdens 
    borne 
    by

    • 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.
