    "And 
    heard, 
    as 
    it 
    were, 
    the 
    noise 
    of 
    thunder 

    One 
    of 
    the 
    four 
    beasts 
    saying, 

    'Come 
    and 
    see.' 
    and 
    saw, 

    and 
    behold 
    white 
    horse" 


    Verse 1
    There's 
    man 
    goin' 
    'round 
    takin' 
    names 

    And 
    he 
    decides 
    who 
    to 
    free 
    and 
    who 
    to 
    blame 

    Every
    body 
    won't 
    be 
    treated 
    all 
    the 
    same 

    There'll 
    be 
    golden 
    ladder 

    reachin' 
    down 

    When 
    the 
    man 
    comes 
    a
    round 

    Verse 2
    The 
    hairs 
    on 
    your 
    arm 
    will 
    stand 
    up 

    At 
    the 
    terror 
    in 
    each 
    sip 
    and 
    in 
    each 
    sup 

    Will 
    you 
    partake 
    of 
    that 
    last 
    offered 
    cup 


    Or 
    disappear 
    into 
    the 

    potter's 
    ground? 

    When 
    the 
    man 
    comes 
    a
    round 

    Chorus 1
    Hear 
    the 
    trumpets 
    hear 
    hear 
    the 
    pipers 

    One 
    hundred 
    million 
    angels 
    singin' 

    Multitudes 
    are 
    marchin' 
    to 
    the 

    big 
    kettle
    drum 

    Voices 
    callin', 
    voices 
    cryin' 

    Some 
    are 
    born 
    and 
    some 
    are 
    dyin' 

    It's 
    alpha 
    and 
    omega's 
    kingdom 
    come 

    And 
    the 
    whirlwind 
    is 
    in 
    the 
    thorn 
    tree 

    The 
    virgins 
    are 
    all 
    trimming 
    their 
    wicks 

    The 
    whirlwind 
    is 
    in 
    the 
    thorn 
    tree 

    It's 
    hard 
    for 
    thee 
    to 
    kick 
    against 
    the 
    pricks 

    Verse 3
    Till 
    arma
    geddon 
    no 
    shalam, 
    no 
    shalom 

    Then 
    the 
    father 
    hen 
    will 
    call 
    his 

    chickens 
    home 

    The 
    wise 
    man 
    will 
    bow 
    down 

    before 
    the 
    throne 


    And 
    at 
    his 
    feet 

    they'll 
    cast 
    their 
    golden 
    crowns 

    When 
    the 
    man 
    comes 
    a
    round 

    Verse 4
    Whoever 
    is 
    unjust 
    let 
    him 
    be 
    unjust 
    still 

    Whoever 
    is 
    righteous 
    let 
    him 
    be 

    righteous 
    still 

    Whoever 
    is 
    filthy 
    let 
    him 
    be 
    filthy 
    still 

    Listen 
    to 
    the 
    words 
    long 
    written 
    down 

    When 
    the 
    man 
    comes 
    a
    round 

    Chorus 2
    Hear 
    the 
    trumpets

    dyin' 

    It's 
    alpha 
    and 
    omega's 
    king
    dom 
    come 

    And 
    the 
    whirlwind 
    is 
    in 
    the 
    thorn 
    tree 

    The 
    virgins 
    are

    The 
    whirlwind

    It's 
    hard 
    for 
    thee 
    to 
    kick 
    against 
    the 
    pricks 

    In 
    measured 
    hundredweight 
    and 

    penny 
    pound 

    When 
    the 
    man 
    comes 
    a
    round 


    "And 
    heard 
    voice 
    in 
    the 
    midst 

    of 
    the 
    four 
    beasts 

    And 
    looked, 
    and 
    behold 
    pale 
    horse 

    And 
    his 
    name 
    that 
    sat 
    on 
    him 
    was 
    death, 

    and 
    hell 
    followed 
    with 
    him

    • 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.
