    Verse 1
    Oh 
    moved 
    to 
    the sound 

    Of my 
    father's 
    shadow 

    Al
    ways 
    pulling 
    on 
    these 
    chains 

    Trying 
    to break 
    free 

    Over 
    the wall 

    Into 
    the 
    darkest 
    night 

    Not 
    knowing 

    What 
    was 
    just 
    ahead 
    for 
    me 

    He 
    used 
    to say 

    You got 
    to know 
    the 
    way 

    You 
    got to 
    do 
    some schooling 
    every 
    day 

    Verse 2
    Son, 
    I'm 
    so 
    scared, 

    scared 
    of 
    what 
    I see 

    Oh you 
    got 
    to cool 
    down 
    or you'll 

    end 
    up like 
    me 

    Chasing 
    the soul 

    Of 
    my father's 
    shadow 

    Verse 3
    Oh 
    hear 

    what 
    they're saying 

    What 
    they whis
    per 
    I know 

    A chip 
    off the 
    block 

    With a 
    raging 
    fire 
    down 
    below 

    And 
    no 
    guessing, 
    no 
    guessing 

    It's so 
    easy 
    to see 

    Always 
    punching 
    at them 
    walls 

    Always 
    trying 
    to 
    break 
    free 

    Verse 4

    But I 
    hear 
    mama 
    say 

    Only 
    trouble 
    goona come 
    my 
    way 

    Moving 
    to 
    the sound 

    Of 
    my 
    father's 
    shad
    ow 

    Interlude 1




    Mama 
    say 
    God 
    Verse 5
    help 
    my 
    child 

    Mama 
    say 
    I feel 
    he's 
    running 
    wild 

    She 
    say 
    why 
    why 
    why 

    Oh 
    cry 
    cry 
    cry 

    So 
    well 
    I know 

    So 
    well 
    I know 

    Verse 6
    That raging 
    fire 
    below 


    Chasing 
    the soul, 
    chasing 
    the soul, 

    chasing 
    the 
    soul 

    Of my 
    father's 
    shad
    ow 

    Chasing 
    the soul, 
    chasing 
    the soul, 

    chasing 
    the 
    soul 

    Of my 
    father's 
    shadow 

    Oh 
    of 
    my father's 
    shad

    • 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.
