    Johnny 
    got 
    busted, 
    the 
    summer 
    of 75 

    An
    d 
    I got 
    a 
    message 
    through, 

    it was 
    a counterculture 
    sacrifice 

    The 
    government 
    may 
    stand, 

    the 
    government 
    may 
    fall 

    But 
    this 
    only 
    one 
    government 

    means 
    anything 
    to 
    me 
    at all 

    She 
    rules 
    me, 
    like 
    the 
    government 
    of 
    love 

    She 
    rules 
    me, 

    like 
    the 
    government 
    of 
    love 

    And 
    she 
    moves 
    me 
    like 
    the 
    governments 

    of 
    love 



    Now 
    we're 
    all 
    out on 
    bail, 

    1990s 
    style 

    We're 
    paying 
    it 
    off 
    bit 
    by bit, 

    though it 
    just 
    might 
    take 
    a 
    while 

    But 
    all you 
    have 
    to do 
    is write, 

    all 
    you 
    have to 
    do 
    is call 

    Cos 
    there's only 
    one 
    thing 
    around 

    here 
    means 
    anything 
    at 
    all 

    She 
    rules 
    me 
    like 
    the 
    government 
    of 
    love 

    She 
    rules 
    me 

    And 
    she 
    moves 
    me 
    like 
    the 

    government 
    of 
    love 

    Ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, 

    ah, ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, 
    ah, ah, 
    ah. 

    Have 
    you found 
    a fu
    ture? 

    Have 
    you 
    found 
    it 
    at all? 

    How 
    you 
    gonna 
    find 
    a 
    future 

    when 
    you're 
    never 
    going 
    to do 
    anything 

    about 
    it 
    at 
    all? 


    So 
    now 
    I walk 
    the 
    streets, 

    and 
    everybody's 
    got long 
    hair 

    Vel
    vet 
    dungarees, 

    with 
    psychedelic 
    flares 

    It's 
    such 
    a 
    long 
    time, 
    after 
    all 

    I 
    can't 
    remember 
    when 
    my 

    fault 
    meant 
    anything 
    at 
    all 

    So, 
    she 
    rules 
    me 
    like 
    the 

    government 
    of 
    love 

    An
    d 
    she 
    moves 
    me 
    like 

    a government 
    of 
    love 

    An
    d 
    she 
    proves 
    me 
    like 
    a 

    government 
    of 
    love 

    Now 
    it 
    might 
    be 
    a 
    minority 
    position 

    To 
    try 
    to walk 
    before 
    you 
    can 
    crawl 

    Oh 
    well, 
    there 
    is still 
    one 

    ma
    jority 
    decision 

    After 
    all,

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
