    Verse 1
    Last 
    time I 
    saw 

    you, you had 
    dirt 
    under your 
    nails 

    Your 
    eyes 
    were glassy 
    and you 

    looked so 
    pale 

    You said 
    my life 
    has 

    become 
    a livin' 
    hell 

    Ain't 
    got 
    enough 
    money 

    to pay 
    my 
    bills 

    Verse 2
    Everything 
    is 
    wrong 

    Everything 
    is 
    wrong 

    Verse 3
    Got 
    friend 
    with a 
    needle 

    stuck 
    in 
    his arm 

    He got 
    hooked 
    on 
    heroin 
    in 
    Vi
    etnam 

    It used 
    to help 
    kill the 
    pain 

    some 
    of the time 

    Now 
    can't 
    sleep 
    at all 
    since 

    got 
    back 
    home 


    Verse 4

    worked 
    in the strip 
    mines 
    off 
    and 
    on 

    Now I 
    can't 
    seem to 
    get 

    rid of 
    this 
    cough 

    Ain't 
    been 
    many 
    jobs 
    these 
    last 
    few months 

    And the 
    last 
    one 
    I had 
    got 
    laid 
    off 

    Interlude 1









    Verse 5


    ain't 
    got 
    no hot 

    water 
    and they 
    shut off 
    the heat 

    Can you 
    loan me 
    some 
    money 

    for something 
    to eat 

    Been 
    out here 
    on this 
    corner 

    for 
    about 
    a week 

    Tryin 
    hard 
    to stand 
    on my 
    own 
    two 

    feet 


    Verse 6

    They want 
    to try 
    and tell 

    me 
    where 
    I can 
    live 

    They 
    kicked me 
    off my 
    land 
    and told 

    me 
    they'd give 
    me 

    A nice 
    little 
    tract 
    house 
    with running 
    water 

    But 
    how am 
    I gonna 
    explain 
    that to my 

    Navaho 
    mother 


    Verse 7

    My 
    American 
    dream 
    almost 
    came true 

    But the 
    things 
    they promised 

    me 
    nev
    er 
    came 
    through 

    believe 
    in the American 
    dream 

    But things 
    are never 
    quite 

    what they 
    seem 

    Verse 8
    Everything 
    is 
    wrong 

    Everything 
    is 
    wrong 

    Everything 
    is 
    wrong 

    Everything 
    is 
    wrong

      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.
