  • Verse 1
    He 
    was 
    sitting 
    up 
    there 

    for more 
    than an 
    hour 

    Way 
    up 
    there 
    on 
    the Texas 
    Tower 

    Shooting 
    from 
    the twenty-seventh 

    floor 
    floor 
    Yahoo! 

    He 
    didn't 
    choke 
    or slash 
    or slit 
    them 

    Not 
    our 
    Charles 
    Joseph 
    Whitman 

    He 
    won't 
    be 
    an ar
    chitect 
    no 
    more 

    Got 
    up 
    that 
    morning 
    calm 
    and 
    cool 

    He 
    picked 
    up 
    his 
    guns 
    and 
    walked 
    to school 

    All 
    the while 
    he smiled 
    so 
    sweetly 

    And 
    it blew 
    their minds 
    completely 

    They'd never 
    seen 
    an 
    Eagle 

    Scout 
    so 
    cruel 

    Verse 2
    Now won't 
    you think 
    for the 

    shame 
    and 
    degradation 

    For 
    the school's 
    administration 

    He put 
    on 
    such 
    a bold 
    and 
    brassy 
    show 

    The 
    Chan
    cellor 
    cried

    • 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.
