    Says 
    Red 
    Molly, 
    to 
    James, 

    "Well

    fine 
    mo

    girl 
    could 
    feel

    on 
    any

    like" 

    Says 
    James, 
    to 
    Red 
    Molly, 

    "My 
    hat's 
    off 
    to 
    you 

    It's 
    Vincent 
    Black 
    Lightning, 
    195

    And 
    I've 
    seen 
    you 
    at 
    the 
    corners 

    and 
    cafés 
    it 
    seems 

    Red 
    hair 
    and 
    black 
    leather, 

    my 
    favourite 
    colour 
    scheme" 

    And 
    he 
    pulled 
    her 
    on 
    be
    hind 

    And 
    down 
    to 
    Box 
    Hill 
    they 
    did 
    ride 

    Verse 2
    Says 
    James 
    to 
    Red 
    Molly, 

    "Here's 
    ring 
    for 
    your right 
    hand 

    But 
    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    in 
    earnest 

    I'm 
    dangerous 
    man 

    For 
    I've 
    fought 
    with 
    the 
    law 

    since 
    was 
    seven
    teen 

    robbed 
    many 
    man 

    to 
    get 
    my 
    Vincent 
    ma
    chine 

    Now 
    I'm 
    twenty-one 
    years, 

    might 
    make 
    twenty-
    two 

    And 
    don't 
    mind 
    dying, 

    but 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    you 

    And 
    if 
    fate 
    should 
    break my 
    stride 

    Interlude 1
    Then 
    give 
    you 
    my 
    Vincent 
    to 

    (ride) 


    Verse 3
    "Come 
    down, 
    come 
    down, 
    Red 
    Molly," 

    called 
    Sergeant 
    Mc
    Rae 

    "For 
    they've 
    taken 
    young 
    James 
    Adie 

    for 
    armed 
    rob
    ber

    Shotgun 
    blast 
    hit 
    his 
    chest, 

    left 
    noth
    ing 
    in
    side 

    Oh, 
    come 
    down, 

    Red 
    Molly 
    to 
    his 
    dying 
    bed
    side" 

    When 
    she 
    came 
    to 
    the 
    hospital, 

    there 
    wasn't 
    much 
    left 

    He 
    was 
    running 
    out 
    of 
    road, 

    he 
    was 
    running 
    out 
    of 
    breath 

    But 
    he 
    smiled 
    to 
    see her 
    cry 

    And 
    said 
    "I 
    give 
    you 
    my 
    Vincent 
    to 
    ride" 

    Verse 4
    Says 
    James, 
    "In 
    my 
    opinion, 

    there's 
    nothing 
    in 
    this 
    world 

    Beats 
    '52 
    Vincent 
    and 
    red-headed 
    girl 

    Now 
    Nortons 
    and 
    Indians 

    and 
    Greeveses 
    won't 
    do 

    They 
    don't 
    have 
    soul 
    like 
    Vincent 
    '5
    2" 

    He 
    reached 
    for 
    her 
    hand 

    and 
    he 
    slipped 
    her 
    the 
    keys 

    He 
    said 
    "I've 
    got 
    no 
    further 
    use 
    for 
    these 

    see 
    angels 
    on 
    Ariels 
    in 
    leather 
    and 
    chrome 

    Swooping 
    down 
    from 
    heaven 

    to 
    carry 
    me 
    home" 

    And 
    he 
    gave 
    her 
    one 
    last 
    kiss 
    and 
    died 

    Outro 1
    And 
    he 
    gave 
    her 
    his 
    Vincent 
    to 

    (ride)

    • 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

      Rose the Black Cat

      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 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      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!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      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.

      Caleb Schafli

      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.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
