    Verse 1
    It's 
    Christmas
    time 
    in 
    Wash
    ington 

    The 
    Democrats 
    rehearsed 

    Gettin' 
    into 
    gear 
    for 

    four 
    more 
    years 

    Thing
    s 
    not 
    gettin' 
    worse 

    Republicans 
    drink 
    whiskey 
    neat 

    And thanked 
    their 
    lucky 

    stars 

    They said, 
    "He cannot 
    seek 

    an
    other 
    term 

    They'll 
    be no 
    more 
    FDRs" 

    Verse 2
    I sat 
    home 
    in Tennessee 

    Just 
    star
    ing 
    at 
    the screen 

    With an 
    uneasy 
    feeling 
    in 
    my 
    chest 

    I'm won
    derin' 
    what 
    it 
    means 

    Verse 3
    So 
    come 
    back 
    Woody 
    Guthrie 

    Come 
    back 
    to 
    us 
    now 

    Tear 
    your 
    eyes 
    from 
    paradise 

    And 
    rise 
    again 
    some
    how 

    If 
    you 
    run 
    into 
    Jesus 

    Maybe 
    he 
    can 
    help 
    you 
    out 

    Come 
    back 
    Woody 

    Gu
    thrie 
    to 
    us 
    now 

    I 
    Verse 4

    followed 
    in 
    your 
    footsteps 
    once 

    Back 
    in 
    my 
    travelin' 
    days 

    Somewhere 
    I 
    failed 
    to find 
    your 
    trail 

    Now 
    I'm stumblin' 
    through 
    the 
    haze 

    But 
    there's 
    killers 
    on 
    the 

    highway 
    now 

    And a man 
    can't 
    get 
    around 

    So 
    I sold 
    my 
    soul 
    for 
    wheels 
    that 
    roll 

    Now 
    I'm stuck 
    here 
    in 
    this 
    town 

    Verse 5
    Come 
    back 
    Woody 
    Guthrie 

    Come 
    back 
    to 
    us 
    now 

    Tear 
    your 
    eyes 
    from 
    paradise 

    And 
    rise 
    again 
    somehow 

    If 
    you 
    run 
    into 
    Jesus 

    Maybe 
    he 
    can 
    help 
    us 
    out 

    Come 
    back 
    Woody 
    Guthrie 
    to 
    us 
    now 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    There's 
    foxes 
    in the hen 
    house 

    Cows 
    out 
    in the corn 

    The 
    unions 
    have 
    been 
    busted 

    Their proud 
    red 
    banners 
    torn 

    To 
    listen 
    to 
    the 
    radio 

    You'd 
    think 
    that 
    all 
    was 
    well 

    But 
    you 
    and 
    me 
    and Cisco 
    know 

    It's 
    going 
    straight 
    to 
    hell 

    Verse 7
    So 
    come 
    back, 
    Emma 
    Goldman 

    Rise 
    up, 
    old 
    Joe 
    Hill 

    The 
    barracades are goin' 
    up 

    They can
    not 
    break 
    our 
    will 

    Come 
    back 
    to us, 
    Malcolm 
    X 

    An
    d 
    Martin 
    Luther King 

    We're 
    march
    ing 
    in
    to 
    Selma 

    As 
    the 
    bells 
    of freedom 
    ring

    So 
    come 
    back 
    Woody 
    Guthrie 

    Come 
    back

    us 
    now 

    Tear 
    your 
    eyes 
    from 
    paradise 

    And 
    rise 
    again 
    somehow

      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.
