The revolution will not be brought to you
by the Schaeffer Award Theater
and will not star Natalie Woods and Steve McQueen,
or Bullwinkle and Julia.
The revolution will not give
your mouth sex appeal.

of Roy Wilkins strolling through Watts
in a red, black and green
liberation jumpsuit
that he has been saving
for just the proper occasion.
Green Acres, Beverly Hillbillies,
and Hooterville Junction
will no longer be so damn relevant
and women will not care
if Dick finally got down with Jane
on Search for Tomorrow
because black people will
be in the street
looking for a brighter day.
Dm
The revolution will not be televised.
There will be no highlights
on the 11 o 'clock news
and no pictures of Harry R.
Women Liberationists
and Jackie Onassis blowing her nose.

or Francis Scott Keys,
nor sung by Glen Campbell,

Johnny Cash,
Engelbert Humperdinck
or the Rare Earth.

Cb
The revolution will not be right back
after a message about a white tornado,
white lightning or white people.
You will not have to worry
about a dove in your bedroom,
the tiger in your tank
or the giant in your toilet bowl.
The revolution will not go better with coke.
The revolution will not fight germs
Cb
that may cause bad breath.
F
The revolution will put you in
the driver's seat
The revolution will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
Will not be televised
The revolution will be no rerun, brothers

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

“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
