Verse 2
The kids are freaking out
D
Everybody's goin' nuts
Am
The heats out every night
To call up names and kick their butts
Dm
Am
But everytime you turn around
You'll see some joker staring back
D
Am
He's got a secret tape recorder
And a camera in a sack
Pretending that he's just another
Of the kiddies freaking out
But they pay him off in acid
D
Am
'cause he's a downtown talent scout
Verse 3
Am
He's got your name
And he's got your face
He's got your ex- old lady's place
He's here to see what's goin down
And they don't believe the things
D
he's found
Am
Verse 4
The badges gleam and the
minors scream
When he pulls on the scene
They got no warrants in their pockets
Verse 5
But that badge makes them supreme
Am
You kids are smoking
dandelions
You're sniffing paper bags baby
You're dropping good n' plenties
We can tell your posture sags
Now line up here against the wall
Your bodies frail and thin
And open up your pockets
Verse 6
While we dump the evidence in
Am
Well they know that smoking flowers
Won't win a case in court
And they know that good n' plenties
Dm
D
Aren't the psychedelic sort

But they tear your place apart

Because they simply couldn't pass

A chance to drag some freaks
downtown

For smoking devil grass

With mag gots in your bowel

Has advanced to such a point

That a jury trial is useless
They simply take you to the joint
D
Cause after
Verse 8
D
D
all you look so freaky
How could anyone believe
That what you think and what you feel
Comes close at all to what is real
Blow your harmonica son

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

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
