No more black thinking,

There is so much hatred,

war and poverty

Oh yeah

Wake up all the teachers,

Maybe then they'll listen

Cause they're the ones

Just for the breath of life

I thank my maker

My mind say I come from

hustlers and shakers
Am

My mind build it on skyscrapers and acres
C

He said take us back to where we belong
Am

I try to write a song

as sweet as the songs
C

Though I'm the type to bend arms
Am

and wear my heart on my sleeve

Even when I'm failing God I believe

Read the days and weave

through the maze

And the seasons so amazing

Feed them and raise them,

seasons are aging

Earthquakes, wars, and rumors

I want us to get by,

but we more than consumers
C

We more than shooters,

more than looters
Am

Cre ated in this image,

so God lived through us
C

An d even in this generation,

living through computers
Am

Only love, love, love can be boot -ups
Dm

Oh, wake up everybody,
Am

no more sleeping in bed
Dm
Am
Dm

Oh, wake up everybody,
Am

yeah

Am

Because I need a little help,

Am

I can't do it alone
Dm
Am

Oh, I need a little help, y 'all
Dm
Am
Dm

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Am

I need a little help, y 'all
Dm
Am

I can't do it alone
Dm
Am

Oh, I need a little help,
Dm
Am

  • 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.
