    Verse 1

    Here comes 
    the wake 

    The speed-
    decade shake 

    shake 

    see 
    you wake, 
    shake 

    Fit 
    on 
    those 
    overalls 

    What 
    do 
    you 
    know 
    about 

    this 
    world 
    anyway? 

    Verse 2

    I see 
    a man 

    With 
    an 
    air
    field 
    plan 

    I caught 
    a boy 
    fall 
    out 
    of the 
    sky 

    What 
    do you 
    know 
    about 
    this 

    world 
    anyway?

    Verse 4

    Every 
    time 
    you touch 
    this 
    place 

    It 
    feels 
    like 
    sin 

    Every 
    time 
    the handshake 
    starts 

    The face 
    draws 
    thin 

    What 
    do 
    you 
    know 
    about 
    this 

    world 
    any
    way? 

    Verse 5

    Here comes 
    the sun 

    see 
    the sun 

    In 
    here 
    the sun 
    shines 
    so 
    bright 

    My 
    eyes 
    go 
    blind 

    What 
    do 
    you 
    know 
    about 
    this 

    world 
    any
    way?

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
