    • Verse 1
    Old 
    Miss 
    Johnston 

    lived 
    all 
    alone 

    On 
    the sorry 
    side 
    of 
    town 

    Broke 
    down 
    cars 
    and 
    burglar 
    bars 

    On 
    the 
    windows 
    and 
    doors 

    In 
    case 
    danger 
    comes 
    around 

    Verse 2

    Sittin' 
    in 
    her 
    yellow 
    kitchen 

    Listenin' 
    to 
    bad 
    news 

    on 
    a Radiant 
    radio 

    It 
    used 
    to 
    be 
    Louis 
    Armstrong 

    Then 
    Martin 
    Luther 
    King 

    Where 
    did 
    everybody 
    go? 

    Verse 3

    Out 
    the 
    window 
    where 
    her 
    garden 
    was 

    It's 
    not 
    safe 
    to 
    go 
    out
    side 

    Old 
    Miss 
    Johnston 
    in 
    the 

    eye 
    of 
    the storm 

    It 
    was 
    the safest 
    place 
    to 
    hide 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    And 
    life's 
    a 
    gamble 
    for 
    the 
    broken 

    and 
    the 
    weak

    Dealin' 
    with 
    the bangers 

    and 
    the 
    drugs 

    The 
    whinos weave 
    and 
    amble 

    And 
    shuffle 
    on 
    down 
    the street 

    Steerin' 
    clear 
    of 
    all 
    the 
    thug
    s 

    Verse 5

    And 
    now 
    my 
    city 
    hangs 
    her 
    head 
    in 
    shame 

    You 
    can't 
    tell 
    the truth 
    from 

    all 
    the 
    lies 

    Everything 
    changed 
    forever 
    and 

    everything 
    stayed 
    the same 

    Outro 1
    On 
    the night 
    Miss 
    Johnston 
    died

    • 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.”
