    Verse 1
    Away 
    from 
    the river 

    Away 
    from 
    the smoke 
    of 
    the 
    burning 

    Fearful 
    survivors 

    Sub
    ject 
    of 
    government 
    directives 

    One 
    sad 
    guitar 
    note 

    Echoes 
    of 
    the 
    wall 
    of 
    the 
    jungle 

    Seen 
    from 
    the 
    air 
    they're 
    just 
    targets 

    with 
    nowhere 
    to 
    run 
    to 

    Verse 2

    Chil
    dren 
    of 
    rape 

    Raised 
    on 
    malnutrition 

    Men 
    in camouflage 

    Filled 
    with 
    a sense 
    of 
    mission 

    And 
    the 
    light 
    through 
    the 
    wire 
    mesh 

    Plays 
    on 
    the president's 
    pistol 

    Like 
    the 
    gleam 
    of 
    bead 
    of sweat 

    in 
    the flow 
    of 
    candle 

    Hear 
    the cry 
    in 
    the tropic 
    night 

    Should 
    be 
    the cry 
    of 
    love 

    but 
    it's 
    a cry 
    of 
    fright 

    Some 
    people 
    never 
    see 

    the 
    light 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet 
    holes 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet 
    holes 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    The 
    tropic 
    moon 

    Bathing 
    a beach 
    fringed 
    with 
    palms 

    Glitters 
    on 
    shells 

    And 
    beach 
    tar 
    and 
    coke 
    cans 

    And 
    on 
    the night- 
    coloured 
    boat 

    And 
    on 
    the bar
    rels 
    of 
    gun

    In 
    the 
    rage 
    in 
    the 
    hearts 
    of 
    these 
    men 
    is 

    the seed 
    of 
    a wind 
    they 
    call 
    king
    dom 

    Come 

    Verse 4
    Hear 
    the cry 
    in 
    the tropic 
    night 

    Should 
    be 
    the cry 
    of 
    love 

    but 
    it's 
    cry 
    of 
    fright 

    Some 
    people 
    never 
    see 

    the 
    light 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet 
    holes 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet 
    holes 

    Verse 5

    Hear 
    the cry 
    in 
    the tropic 
    night 

    Should 
    be 
    the cry 
    of 
    love 

    but 
    it's 
    cry 
    of 
    fright 

    Some 
    people 
    never 
    see 

    the 
    light 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet 
    holes 

    Till 
    it 
    shines 
    through 
    bullet

    • 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.
