    Verse 1
    can 
    remember 
    when 
    this

    the future 

    Where 
    it 
    was 
    gonna

    at 
    back 
    then 

    Why

    dealt 

    Verse 3
    This

    fact 

    Now 
    all we

    look 
    forward 
    to 

    Is 
    a sort 
    of 
    sui
    cide 
    pact 

    Verse 5
    Was 
    it 
    the 
    dear 
    old 
    future 

    That 
    created 
    the 

    problems 
    we 
    face? 

    How 
    do 
    we 
    deal 
    with 
    the 
    fallout 

    Of 
    the 
    age 
    we 
    used 
    to 
    call

    Living 
    in 
    peace 
    and 
    freedom 
    from 
    fear 

    Science 
    that 
    promised

    • 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.
