    Verse 1
    As 
    saw 
    through 
    the 

    eyes 
    of 
    Portland 
    one 
    day 

    There were 
    so 
    many 
    homeless, 

    they'd 
    all 
    gone 
    astray 

    They slept 
    on 
    the corners 
    during 
    the day 

    As 
    not 
    to 
    be 
    harmed 

    when the sun 
    went 
    away 

    Verse 2

    There 
    were 
    old 
    ones 
    and 
    young 
    ones, 

    white 
    ones 
    and 
    black 

    They were 
    all 
    shapes 
    and sizes 

    with 
    rags 
    on 
    their 
    backs 

    So 
    many 
    people 
    mixed 
    up 
    in 
    this 
    stew 

    With 
    no place 
    to 
    go 
    and 
    nothing 
    to do 

    Verse 3

    All 
    of 
    these 
    homeless, 

    where 
    do 
    they 
    come 
    from? 

    In this 
    land 
    of 
    plenty 
    where 

    nothing 
    gets 
    done 

    To 
    help 
    those 
    who are empty 

    and un
    able 
    to 
    run 

    Your tears 
    and prayers 
    won't 
    help 

    the 
    homeless 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    Some 
    are 
    mentally 
    ill, 

    some are 
    higher 
    than 
    kites 

    Selling 
    their 
    bodies 
    as 
    day 

    turn
    to 
    night 

    Where 
    are 
    their 
    loved 
    ones, 

    does 
    anyone 
    care? 

    To be 
    lost 
    and alone 

    in the middle 
    of 
    nowhere 

    Verse 5

    All 
    of 
    these 
    homeless, 

    where 
    do 
    they 
    come 
    from? 

    In this 
    land 
    of 
    plenty 
    where 

    nothing 
    gets 
    done 

    To 
    help 
    those 
    who are 
    empty 

    and un
    able 
    to 
    run 

    Your 
    tears 
    and 
    prayers 
    won't 
    help 
    the 

    homeless 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 6

    What 
    will 
    it 
    take 
    for this 
    country 
    to see 

    For the 
    grace 
    of 
    God 
    go 
    they 

    and 
    not 
    you 
    and 
    me 

    The fallen 
    and 
    forgotten, 

    who are 
    down 
    on 
    their 
    knees 

    Living 
    here 
    in the gutters 

    in this 
    land 
    of 
    the 
    free 

    Verse 7

    All 
    of 
    these 
    homeless, 

    where 
    do 
    they 
    come 
    from? 

    In this 
    land 
    of 
    plenty 
    where 

    nothing 
    gets 
    done 

    To 
    help 
    those 
    who 
    are empty 

    and 
    un
    able 
    to 
    run 

    Your 
    tears 
    and 
    prayers 

    won't 
    help 
    the 
    homeless 

    Your 
    tears 
    and 
    prayers 
    won't 

    help 
    the 
    homeless

    • 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.
