    Verse 1
    D

    When they went to bed that night,
    G

    no one would have believed
    D

    That in the morning light
    F
    G
    Am

    would not be there
    D

    The dark hung heavy on the air
    G

    like the grip of a jealous man
    D

    No place was there known to have
    F
    G
    Am

    been spared
    G

    Then panic took control of minds
    Am

    as fear hit everyone
    Bb
    G
    Cm

    The day the light went out
    Baug
    Bb
    Am
    D

    of the daytime sky
    Verse 2
    D

    Artificial light could hardly
    G

    penetrate the gloom
    D

    Nothing out of reach could
    F
    G
    Am

    be observed
    D

    Looting, pillage, murder,
    G

    rape became the rule of that day
    D

    Who hit him no one knew,
    F
    G
    Am

    or whom he hit
    G

    Cars were caught in pileups and
    Am

    the planes could never land

    Dsus4
    D
    G

    Some were there who's heads were clear who sought,

    tried to find
    D

    The nature of this deadly foe,
    F
    G
    Am

    the dark
    D

    It seemed the sun was still somewhere,
    G

    though hidden from their sight
    D

    By something, though amorphous,
    F
    G
    Am

    yet alive
    G

    And so they looked for ways to rid
    Am

    themselves of the parasite

    Verse 6
    D

    Dsus4
    D

    They tried in many fruitless
    G

    ways to see the noonday sun
    D

    By blasting with their missiles
    F
    G
    Am

    through the dark
    D

    But soon a kind of sleepy
    G

    state came over everyone
    D

    Till nothing seemed to stir
    F
    G

    or even breathe
    Am
    G

    And when the darkness chose to disappear,
    Am

    not many had survived
    Bb

    Then came a shadow - another
    G
    Cm
    Baug

    had arrived
    Bb
    Adim
    D
    Bb
    G

    And again the light went
    Cm
    Baug
    Bb

    out of the daytime sky

    • 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.
