    Verse 1
    I 
    grew 
    up 
    in 
    a military 
    town 

    Waiting 
    on 
    the sky 
    to fall 

    Everybody 
    I knew, 
    hangin' 
    around 

    Wondering 
    what 
    to do 

    When 
    the draft 
    board 
    calls 

    Looking 
    back 
    it 
    musta 

    have 
    been 
    a miracle 
    now 

    I 
    ever 
    grew 
    up 
    at 
    all 

    To sing 
    about 
    living 
    in 
    a military 
    town 

    Waitin' 
    on 
    the sky 
    to fall 

    Waitin' 
    on 
    the sky 
    to fall, 
    boys 

    Waitin' 
    on 
    the sky 
    to 
    fall 

    Chicken 
    Little 
    wasn't 
    makin' 

    nothing 
    but 
    noise? 

    Waiting 
    on the 
    sky 
    to 
    fall. 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    Spent 
    a 
    lonely 
    lifetime 

    Rollin' 
    on down 
    the line 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    the 
    holy 
    grail 

    Never 
    once 
    crossed 
    my 
    solitary 
    mind 

    That 
    any 
    such 
    consecrated 

    quest'd fail 

    Come 
    up 
    upon 
    an 
    ocean 
    and 

    much 
    to 
    my 
    chagrin 

    They 
    told 
    me 
    that 
    ship 
    had 
    sailed 

    Walkin' 
    on 
    the 
    water, 

    'cause 
    I never 
    learned 
    to 
    swim 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    the 
    holy 
    grail 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    the 
    holy 
    grail, 
    friends 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    the 
    holy 
    grail 

    Been 
    across 
    the 
    ocean 
    and 
    now 

    I'm 
    back 
    again 

    Searchin' 
    for 
    the 
    holy 
    grail.

      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.
