    Walking 

    down 
    to 
    Birmingham, 

    way down 
    south 
    in Dixieland, 

    thought that 
    I would 
    stop a 
    while, 


    take a vaca
    tion, 
    southern style, 

    got 
    some 
    southern 
    hospitality, 

    down 
    there 
    in a 
    southern 

    hos
    pital. 

    Oh, 
    all the signs 
    said, 
    welcome in 

    Signed 
    by Governor 
    Wal

    lace 
    and Rin Tin 
    Tin 

    They 
    said, 
    come along 
    and 

    watch the fights 

    While 
    we feed our 
    dogs 
    on 
    civil rights 

    Now, 
    don't 
    get 
    us wrong 

    Some 
    of 
    our best Negroes 

    are 
    friends 

    Well, 
    I've 
    seen travel 

    in many 
    ways 

    I've traveled 
    in cars 
    and old 
    sub
    ways 

    But 
    in 
    Birmingham 
    some 
    people chose 
    to 

    fly down 
    the street from 
    a fire 
    hole 

    Doing 
    some 
    hard 
    traveling 

    from 
    hydrants 
    of 
    plenty 

    Well 
    a pack of 
    dogs was 
    standing by, 


    I walked up to 
    them and I 
    said, 

    Hi 
    asked one 
    dog what 
    they 
    all were 
    doing, 

    he walked 
    up to 
    me and started 
    chewing 

    said, 
    hold it, 
    I'm from 
    the 
    ASPCA, 

    Society 
    for Prevention 
    of 

    Cruelty 
    to 
    Agitators. 

    And 
    I said, there must 

    be some 
    men around, 

    there 
    can
    't be 
    only dogs 
    in 
    town. 

    They 
    said, 
    sure we 
    have 

    old Bull 
    Connor, 

    there he 
    goes 
    a -walkin' 
    yonder. 

    Growin' 
    some 
    raw meat 
    to 
    the mayor, 


    feedin' 
    bones 
    to the 
    city coun
    cil. 

    You 
    know 
    Governor Wallace 

    doesn't 
    mean no 
    harm 

    Can't 
    you see he's 
    got 
    a lot of 
    charm 

    He's 
    protectin' 
    us 
    whites, 

    both 
    rich and 
    poor 

    Standin' 
    in the 
    schoolhouse 
    door 

    Crackin' 
    jokes, 

    talkin' 
    to 
    Huntley Brinkley 

    Servin' 
    jury duty, 
    gettin' 
    re 
    -elected 

    So 
    asked 
    them why they 
    spent their 
    time 

    with 
    se
    gregation 
    on 
    their 
    mind 

    They said, 
    you don't 
    like 

    to live this 
    way, 

    get out of 
    here 

    Go 
    back 
    to the U 
    .S .A. 

    Live 
    with 
    all 
    them Russian 

    New 
    York 
    folk 
    singers 

    Some say 
    they've passed 

    their darkest 
    hour 

    Those 
    mod
    erates 
    are back in 
    power 

    Oh, 
    they listen 
    close 
    with open 
    ears, 


    they'll help us 
    out in a 

    couple of hundred 
    years 

    But 
    don't push 
    them, 
    whatever 
    you do, 

    or 
    else 
    you get those 
    extrem
    ists 
    back 
    in 

    You 
    see, 
    Alabama 
    is a 
    sovereign 
    state with 

    sovereign 
    dogs 
    and 
    sover
    eign hate 

    They 
    stand 
    for the Bible, 

    for the Consti
    tution, 

    they stand 
    against 

    communist re
    volution 

    They 
    say 
    it's 
    pinkos 
    like 
    you 

    that 
    freed 
    the slaves, 

    and 
    they're 
    right.

    • 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.
