    ever 
    seen 
    us 

    (No one's 
    ever 
    seen 
    us) 

    Driving

    heard 
    of our 
    band 

    Verse 2
    We're

    Verse 3

    stand 
    word 
    we

    So 
    we'll 
    scratch 
    it all 
    down 
    into 
    the 
    clay 

    Half 
    believing 
    there 
    will 

    sometime 
    come 
    day 

    Someone 
    gives 
    damn 

    Maybe 
    when 
    the 
    concrete 
    has 

    crumbled 
    to 
    sand 

    We're 
    the

    The

    is 
    beating 
    down 

    And 
    making 
    cracks 
    in 
    the ground 

    But 
    there's 
    nowhere 
    else 
    to stand 

    In

    we 
    secretly 
    reign

    our 
    band) 

    The 
    land

    we invisibly 
    rule

    Meso
    potamians 

    Sargon, 
    Hammurabi, 

    Ashurbanipal, and 
    Gil
    gamesh 

    Verse 7
    This 
    is 
    my 
    last 
    stick 
    of 
    gum 

    I'm 
    going 
    to 
    cut 
    it up 
    so 

    everybody 
    else 
    gets 
    some 

    Ex

    • 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.
