    Verse 1
    The 

    Alamo 
    was 
    shuddered, 

    Pearl 

    Harbor 
    as 
    well 

    The 

    Statue 
    of 

    Liber
    ty wept 
    as 
    they 
    fell 

    And 
    echoes 
    were 
    heard 
    in 
    the 

    Liberty 

    Bell 

    When 
    they 
    came 
    for 
    the soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    And 
    the 

    Manhattan 
    sky
    line 
    blew 
    my 
    mind 

    The 
    first 
    time 
    I 
    went 
    down 
    to 

    the 
    scene 
    of 
    the 
    crime 

    Looking 
    for 
    the 
    soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    Yeah, 
    I'm 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    soul, 

    looking 
    for 
    the 
    soul 

    I 
    don't 
    see 
    no 

    Washington 
    tak
    in' 
    the slate 

    No 

    Jefferson 
    and 

    Adam
    s, 

    Franklin 
    and 

    Pate 

    And 
    there 
    sure 
    ain't 

    Ger
    onimo 
    winning 
    the 
    game 

    When 
    it 
    comes 
    to the 
    soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    It's 
    just 
    them 
    wild 
    boys, 

    red, 
    white 
    and 
    blue 

    Them 
    wild 
    boys, 

    gotta 
    get 
    the 
    message 
    through 

    Come 
    hell 
    or 
    high 
    water, 

    my 
    hand's 
    off 
    to 
    you 

    Let's 
    rock 
    the 
    soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    Come 
    on, 
    let's 
    rock 
    the 
    soul 

    Let's 
    rock 
    the 
    soul 



    Well, 
    you 
    can 
    find 
    souls 

    All 
    over 
    this 
    world 

    Under
    neath 
    the stones 
    of 
    insan
    ity 

    Yeah, 
    you 
    can 
    find 
    souls 

    All 
    over 
    the 
    globe 

    Ex
    cept 
    in 
    the 
    places 

    It 
    ought 
    to be 

    Except 
    in 
    the 
    places 

    It 
    ought 
    to be 

    I 
    went 
    from 
    a 
    father 
    to 
    son 

    To 
    the war 
    of the 
    comer
    s 

    And 
    the 
    war 
    of the 
    guns 

    This 
    has 
    got 
    a 
    full 
    job 

    But 
    it's 
    gotta 
    be 
    done 

    Protecting 
    the 
    soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    And 
    I'll 
    hand 
    good 
    old 
    boys 

    in 
    their 
    three 
    -piece 
    suits 

    A 
    feather 
    in 
    their 
    nest 

    While 
    they're 
    rallying 
    the troops 

    They 
    call 
    out 
    the 
    flowers 

    They don't 
    care 
    about 
    the 
    root
    s 

    They 
    rode 
    in 
    the 
    soul 
    of 

    Amer
    ica 

    I'm 
    still 
    looking 
    for 
    the 
    soul 

    Looking 
    for 
    the 
    soul 



    Well, 
    there's 
    souls 
    in 
    the 
    city, 

    there's 
    souls 
    in 
    the 
    sand 

    But 
    not 
    with 
    the latest 
    in 
    dig
    nity 

    Yeah, 
    you 
    can 
    find 
    souls 

    all 
    over 
    this 
    land 

    Except 
    in 
    the 
    places 

    it 
    ought 
    to be 

    They're 
    accepting 
    the 
    places 

    it 
    ought 
    to 
    be 

    Thank 
    you, 

    Johnny, 
    my 
    neighborhood 

    They 
    don't 
    read 
    the 
    pa
    pers 

    as 
    much 
    as 
    they should 

    But 
    if 
    they 
    had 
    the 
    time, 

    they 
    know 
    that 
    they 
    would 

    And 
    you're 
    looking 
    at

      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.
