    Verse 1
    Oh, 
    the 
    age 
    of 
    the 
    inmates 

    I 
    remem
    ber 
    quite 
    freely 

    No 
    younger 
    than 
    twelve, 

    no 
    older 
    than 
    seventeen 

    Thrown 
    in 
    like 
    bandits, 

    cast 
    off 
    like 
    crim
    inals 

    Inside 
    the 
    grounds, 

    round 
    the 
    walls, 
    a 
    red 
    wing 

    From 
    the 
    dirty 
    old 
    mess 
    hall, 

    you 
    march 
    to 
    a 
    brick 
    wall. 

    Too 
    weary 
    to 
    talk 
    and 
    too 
    tired 
    to 
    sing. 

    Oh, 
    it's 
    all 
    afternoon, 

    you 
    remem
    ber 

    Inside 
    the 
    grounds 

    round 
    the 
    walls 
    of 
    Red 
    Queen 

    Oh 
    the 
    gates 
    are 
    cast 
    iron 

    and 
    the 
    walls 
    are 
    barbed 
    wire 

    Stay 
    far 
    from 
    the 
    fence 

    with 
    electricity 
    stained 

    And 
    it's 
    keep 
    down 
    your 
    head 

    and 
    stay 
    in 
    your 
    num
    ber 

    On 
    the 
    inside 
    ground
    s, 

    round 
    the 
    walls 
    of 
    Red 
    Wing 

    Oh, 
    it's 
    fare 
    thee well 
    to 
    the 

    deep 
    hollow 
    dun
    geon 

    Farewell 
    to 
    the 
    boardwalk 

    that 
    takes 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    screen 

    And 
    farewell 
    to 
    the 
    minutes 

    that 
    threaten 
    you 
    with 
    it 

    In
    side 
    the 
    ground
    s, 

    round 
    the 
    walls 
    of 
    Red 
    Wing 

    It's 
    Minnie 
    a 
    guard 

    that 
    stands 
    around 
    smil
    in' 

    Holdin'

    Hop

    grounds 

    round 
    the 
    wall's 
    red 
    wing 

    The 
    night 
    aimed 
    shadows 

    through 
    the 
    crossbar 
    win
    dows 

    And 
    the 
    wind 
    punched 
    hard 

    to 
    make 
    the 
    wall 
    siding 
    sing 

    It's 
    many

    the 
    rain 
    rattled 
    heavy 

    on 
    the 
    bunkhouse 
    shingles 

    And 
    the 
    sounds 
    in 
    the night 

    that 
    make 
    my 
    ears 
    ring 

    Tell 
    the 
    keys 
    of 
    the guards, 

    click 
    the tune 
    of 
    the

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
