    Verse 1
    The 
    old 
    man 

    turned 
    off 
    the 
    radio 

    Said, 
    "Where 
    did 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    old 
    songs 
    go 

    Kid
    s 
    sure 
    play 
    funny 

    music 
    these 
    days 

    They 
    play 
    it in 
    the strangest 
    ways" 

    Said, 
    "it looks 
    to 
    me 
    like 

    they've 
    all 
    gone 
    wild 

    It was 
    peaceful 
    back 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    a child" 

    Well, 
    man, 
    could 
    it 
    be 
    that 

    the 
    girls 
    and 
    boys 

    Are trying 
    to be 
    heard 
    above 
    your 
    noise? 

    And 
    the 
    lonely 
    voice 
    of 
    youth 

    cries 
    "What 
    is 
    truth?" 

    Verse 2

    A little 
    boy 
    of three 
    sittin' 
    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Look
    s up 
    and 
    says, 
    "Daddy, 

    what 
    is 
    war?" 

    "son, 
    that's 
    when 
    people 
    fight 
    and 
    die" 

    The 
    little 
    boy 
    of 
    three 
    says 
    "Daddy, 
    why?" 

    A 
    young 
    man 
    of seventeen 

    in 
    Sunday 
    school 

    Being 
    taught 
    the 
    golden 
    rule 

    And 
    by 
    the time 
    another 

    year 
    has 
    gone 
    around 

    It 
    may 
    be 
    his 
    turn 
    to lay 
    his 
    life 
    down 

    Can 
    you 
    blame 
    the 
    voice 
    of 

    youth 
    for 
    asking 

    Verse 3
    "What 
    is 
    truth?" 

    A 


    young 
    man 
    sittin' 

    on 
    the 
    witness 
    stand 

    The 
    man 
    with 
    the 
    book 
    says 

    "Raise 
    your 
    hand" 

    "Re
    peat 
    after 
    me, 
    I 
    solemnly 
    swear" 

    The 
    man 
    looked 
    down 
    at 
    his 
    long 
    hair 

    And 
    al
    though 
    the 
    young 

    man 
    solemnly 
    swore 

    Nobody 
    seems 
    to 
    hear 
    anymore 

    And 
    it 
    did
    n't 
    really 
    matter 

    if the 
    truth 
    was 
    there 

    It was 
    the cut 
    of 
    his 
    clothes 

    and 
    the 
    length 
    of 
    his 
    hair 

    And 
    the 
    lonely 
    voice 
    of 
    youth 
    cries 

    Interlude 1
    "What 
    is 
    truth?" 



    Verse 4
    The young 
    girl 
    dancing 
    to the 
    latest 
    beat 

    Has 
    found 
    new 
    ways 
    to 

    move 
    her 
    feet 

    The young 
    man 
    speaking 
    in 
    the city 
    square 

    Is 
    trying 
    to 
    tell 
    somebody 

    that 
    he 
    cares 

    Yeah, 
    the ones 
    that 
    you're 

    calling 
    wild 

    Are going 
    to be 
    the 
    leaders 
    in 
    a little 
    while 

    This 
    old 
    world's 
    wakin' 

    to 
    a new 
    born 
    day 

    And 
    I solemnly 
    swear 
    that 

    it'll 
    be 
    their 
    way 

    You 
    better 
    help 
    the 
    voice 
    of 

    youth 
    find 


    "What 
    is truth "

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
