    In the 
    courtroom 
    of 
    honor, 

    the judge 
    pounded 
    his 
    gavel 

    To show 
    that all's 
    equal 
    and that 

    the courts 
    are 
    on the 
    level 

    And that 
    the strings 
    in the 
    books 

    ain't pulled

    handled 

    Verse 12
    Once 
    that 
    the cops 
    have 
    chased 

    after 
    and 
    caught 
    'em 

    And that 
    the ladder 
    of law 
    has no 

    top 
    and no 
    bottom 

    Stared 
    at the 
    per
    son 

    who killed 
    for 
    no 
    reason 

    Who 
    just 
    happened 
    to be 
    feel
    in' 

    that 
    way 
    without 
    warnin'

    And 
    he spoke 
    through 
    his cloak, 

    most 
    deep 
    and distin
    guished 

    And 
    handed 
    out 
    strongly, 

    for 
    penalty 
    and 
    repentance 

    Willi

    • 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.
