    Verse 1
    The 
    birds 
    they 
    sang, 
    at 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    day 

    Start 
    again, 
    heard 
    them 
    say 

    Don't 
    dwell 
    on 
    what 
    has 
    passed 
    away 

    Or 
    what 
    is 
    yet 
    to 
    be 

    Yeah, 
    the 
    wars 
    they 
    will 
    be 
    fought 
    again 

    The 
    holy 
    dove, 
    she 
    will 
    be 
    caught 
    again 

    Bought 
    and 
    sold 
    and 
    bought 
    again 

    The 
    dove 
    is 
    never 
    free 

    Chorus 1
    Ring 
    the 
    bells 
    that 
    still 
    can 
    ring 

    For
    get 
    your 
    perfect 
    offer
    ing 

    There 
    is 
    crack, 
    crack 
    in 
    everything 

    That's 
    how 
    the 
    light 
    gets 
    in 


    Verse 2
    We 
    asked 
    for 
    signs, 
    the 
    signs 
    were 
    sent 

    The 
    birth 
    be
    trayed, 
    the 
    marriage 
    spent 

    Yeah, 
    the 
    widowhood 
    of 
    every 
    gover
    ment 

    Signs 
    for 
    all 
    to 
    see 

    can't 
    run 
    no 
    more 
    with 
    that 
    lawless 
    crowd 

    While 
    the 
    kill
    ers 
    in 
    high 
    places 

    say 
    their 
    prayers 
    out 
    loud 

    But 
    they've 
    summoned, 

    they've 
    su
    mmoned 
    up 
    thundercloud 

    And 
    they're 
    going 
    to 
    hear 
    from 
    me 

    (...ring, 
    ring, 
    ring)

    Verse 3
    You 
    can 
    add 
    up 
    the 
    parts 

    you 
    won't 
    have

    sum 

    You 
    can 
    strike 
    up 
    the 
    march, 

    there 
    is 
    no 
    drum 

    Every 
    heart, 
    every 
    heart 
    to 
    love 
    will 
    come 

    But

      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 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.

      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.
