    Verse 1
    Like 
    the 
    ancient 
    Roman 
    empire, 

    this 
    world 
    is 
    doomed 
    to fall 

    And 
    it's 
    much 
    too 
    big 
    a 

    thing 
    for 
    mortal 
    man 

    Just 
    take 
    a 
    look 
    around 
    and 
    see 

    the writing 
    on 
    the 
    wall 

    Some
    how 
    we've 
    got 
    to 

    find 
    a 
    helping 
    hand 

    Verse 2
    This 
    world 
    has 
    never 
    been 
    in 
    the 

    awful 
    shape 
    it's 
    in

    And 
    people 
    scorn 
    the 

    things 
    our 
    leaders 
    do 

    It's 
    time 
    a prayer 
    was 
    spoken 
    from 

    the 
    heart 
    of 
    every 
    man 

    Jesus, 
    take 
    a 
    hold 
    and 
    lead 

    us 
    through 

    Verse 3

    The mighty 
    roar 
    of 
    gunfire 
    is 

    now 
    a 
    local 
    sound 

    And 
    our 
    city 
    streets 
    are filled 

    with 
    angry 
    men 

    Law's 
    now 
    a mockery 
    throughout 

    our 
    troubled 
    land 

    And 
    destruc
    tion 
    seems 
    to 

    be 
    the 
    current 
    trend 

    Verse 4

    This 
    world 
    has 
    never 
    been 
    in 
    the 

    awful 
    shape 
    it's 
    in 

    And our 
    leaders 
    seem 
    in 
    doubt, 

    what 
    to 
    do 

    It's 
    time 
    a prayer 
    was 
    spoken 
    from 

    the 
    heart 
    of 
    every 
    man 

    Jesus, 
    take 
    a 
    hold 
    and 
    lead 
    us 
    through 

    Jesus, 
    take 
    a 
    hold 
    and 
    lead 

    us 
    through

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 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.
