Verse 1
Am

No one would have believed in the last

years of the nineteenth century

That human affairs were being watched from

the timeless worlds of space

No one could have dreamed that we

were being scrutinized

As someone with a microscope studies creatures

that swarm and multiply in a drop of water

Few men even considered the possibility

of life on other planets

And yet, across the gulf of space

Minds immeasurably superior to ours

regarded this Earth with envious eyes

And slowly and surely

Verse 2

G

At midnight, on the 12th of August

A huge mass of luminous gas erupted from
Am

Mars and sped towards Earth

Across two hundred million

miles of void
G

Invisibly hurtling towards us

Came the first of the missiles that were

to bring so much calamity to Earth
Verse 3
Am

As I watched,

there was another jet of gas

It was another missile, starting on it's way

Am

Then came the night the first

missile approached Earth
E

It was thought to be an ordinary falling star
Am

But next day there was a huge crater

in the middle of the common

And Ogilvy came to examine what lay there
Verse 7
Am

A cylinder, thirty yards across,

glowing hot

With faint sounds of movement
E

coming from within
Am
E

Suddenly the top began moving,
Am

rotating, unscrewing

And Ogilvy feared there was a man

inside trying to escape

He rushed to the cylinder but

the intense heat stopped him

Before he could burn himself on the metal

Verse 10

Am

It seems totally incredible to me now that

Everyone spent that evening as though
Am

it were just like any other

From the railway station came

the sound of shunting trains

Ringing and rumbling,

softened almost into melody by the distance
Am
Verse 11


It all seemed so safe and tranquil

  • 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.
