    The House Is 
    Falling 
    Down 

    Verse 2
    () 

    Men 
    had 
    need 
    of 
    shelter 
    from 
    the 
    evil, 

    from 
    the 
    night 

    The 
    devil 
    #150# wind 
    was 
    blowin' 

    and 
    from 
    heaven 
    came 
    light 

    The Son 
    of 
    God, 

    a carpenter 
    and 
    He 
    came 
    with 
    plan 

    To 
    build 
    house 
    where 
    heaven 
    could 
    be 

    offered 
    unto 
    men 

    Verse 3

    Refrain: (Bum) 

    When 
    he 
    came 
    here, 

    He 
    laid 
    down 
    mighty 
    firm 
    foundation 

    An
    the 
    columns 
    and 
    the 
    beams 
    were 
    churches, 

    scattered 
    through 
    the 
    nation 

    And 
    then 
    rooms 
    were 
    added 
    to 
    it 
    on 

    that 
    same 
    old 
    solid 
    rock 

    And 
    roofs 
    were 
    raised 
    by 
    willing 
    hands, 

    from 
    the 
    bottom 
    to 
    the top 

    Verse 4
    Then 
    the 
    people 
    came 
    and 
    filled 
    the 
    house, 

    were 
    singing 
    prayer 
    and 
    praise 

    Some 
    turned 
    and 
    rejected, 

    His 
    house 
    fell 
    on 
    leaner 
    days 

    Oh, 
    Son 
    of 
    God, 
    oh 
    Carpenter, 

    will 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    around 

    The blocks 
    and 
    beams 
    are 
    crumbling 

    and 
    the 
    house 
    is 
    fall
    ing 
    down 

    Verse 5

    Now 
    the storm 
    is 
    raging 
    and 

    the 
    devil's 
    angry 
    roar 

    He's 
    screaming 
    at 
    the 
    windows 

    and 
    howlin' 
    at 
    the 
    door 

    And 
    though 
    the 
    faithful 
    few 
    inside 

    are 
    standing 
    true 
    and 
    strong 

    The 
    house 
    has 
    been 
    neglected 
    and 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    standin' 
    long 

    Interlude 1



    Refrain: (Bum #150# Bum) 
    Then 
    the 
    Verse 6

    people 
    came 
    and 
    filled 
    the 
    house, 

    were 
    singing 
    prayer 
    and 
    praise 

    Some 
    turned 
    and 
    rejected, 

    His 
    house 
    fell 
    on 
    leaner 
    days 

    Son 
    of 
    God, 
    oh 
    Carpenter, 

    will 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    around 

    Our 
    block
    s and 
    beams 
    are 
    crumbling 

    and 
    the 
    house 
    is 
    falling 
    down 

    Verse 7
    Son 
    of 
    God, 
    oh 
    Carpenter, 

    where 
    you 
    come 
    back 
    around 

    The block
    s and 
    beams 
    are crumbling 

    and 
    the 
    house 
    is 
    fallin' 
    down

    • 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.
