    Verse 1
    White 
    houses 
    in 

    neat 
    little 
    rows, 

    Con
    trasting 
    against 
    the sky. 

    Tumble 
    down 
    black 
    shacks 

    over 
    the 
    tracks, 

    Chil
    dren 
    so 
    hungry 
    they 

    could 
    cry. 

    The chrome 
    the steel, 

    the 
    metal 
    dream, 

    Leaving 
    the teeth 
    which 
    will 
    rot. 

    The 
    escapist young 
    mind 
    left 
    behind, 

    Saving 
    dimes 
    for 
    community 
    pot. 

    Better

    They're 
    cry
    ing 
    out 
    for

    all 
    the time, 

    But 
    they 
    fail 
    to see 
    the 
    neighbors 
    eyes. 

    The 
    TV 
    is 
    on 
    the six 
    o'clock 
    news, 

    And 
    the 
    channels 
    are full 
    color 
    lies. 

    Company 
    meets, 
    the 
    president 
    speaks, 

    He's 
    young 
    but 
    his 
    bones 
    creak. 

    Young 
    girl 
    dresses 
    for 

    the high 
    school 
    dance 

    And 
    the 
    guy 
    next 
    door 
    is 
    dy
    ing 
    for 
    peek.

    you, 
    you 
    better,

    get 
    it, 
    babe 

    You

    you 
    better 
    get 
    straight, 
    yeah

    Soon

    • 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.
