    • Verse 1
    Now 
    I 
    can 
    buy 
    the 
    proverbial 
    gun 

    And shoot 
    the 
    proverbial 
    child 

    When 
    my uncle 
    looks 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    eye

    And 
    speaks 
    of 
    freedom 

    My 
    conscience 
    goes 
    up 
    on 
    trial 

    In 
    the 
    courtrooms of the mind 

    Where 
    the 
    judges 
    all 
    have 
    son
    s 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    lawyers 
    all 
    were 
    dead 

    And 
    the 
    back
    s are 
    all 
    broke 

    And 
    the bailiff 
    is 
    my 
    brother 

    And the witness 
    is 
    my 
    sister 

    And I'm 
    guilty 
    as 
    hell 

    And 
    by 
    the 
    afternoon 
    I'm 
    out 

    On 
    the pavement 
    walking 

    Reeking 
    of 
    salt 
    and 
    blood 

    No 
    hair 
    upon 
    my 
    head 

    No 
    shoes 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    Picking 
    your 
    body 
    from 
    my 
    teeth 

    No 
    stars 
    above 
    me 

    No 
    stripes 
    upon 
    me

      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

      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.
