    Verse 1
    Drunk 
    awoke 

    Saturday 
    morning 

    In 
    pool 
    of 
    his 
    own 
    men 

    Peter 
    burst 
    into 
    the 
    room 
    in 
    an 

    obvious 
    state 
    of 
    distress 

    He 
    screamed, 

    don't 
    you 
    know 
    what's 
    been 
    going 
    on? 

    As 
    he 
    slapped 
    the 
    drunken 
    face 

    And 
    re
    garded 
    the 
    skinny 

    whores 
    with 
    scorn 

    Who 
    were 
    lying 
    all 
    around 
    the 
    place 

    He 
    said 
    now 
    pull 
    yourself 
    together 
    and 

    get 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    opera 
    room 

    They 
    crucified 

    Jesus 
    yesterday 
    and 
    they'll 
    be 

    coming 
    for 
    us 
    soon 

    He'd 
    been 
    drinking 
    since 

    Palm 

    Sunday 

    With 
    some 
    alcoholic 
    friends 

    He 
    checked 
    in 
    for 
    the 
    last 
    supper 

    And 
    went 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    lash 
    again 

    So 
    while 

    Judas 
    sold 
    out 

    Jesus, 
    and 

    Peter 
    had 
    denied 
    him, 

    John 
    stood 
    with 
    his 
    mother 
    while 

    the 
    rest 
    went 
    into 
    hiding. 

    The 
    drunk 
    was 
    out 
    cruisin' 
    and 

    chasin' 
    two 
    -bit 
    whores 

    Piss
    in' 
    in 
    the 
    alley
    ways 
    and 

    passin' 
    out 
    on 
    floor

    Come 

    Easter 

    Sunday 
    morning, 
    back 
    in 
    the 
    opera 
    room 

    The 
    apostles 
    were 
    in 
    mourning, 

    all 
    under 
    cloud 
    of 
    doom 

    Yeah 
    but none 
    more 
    than 
    the 
    drunk, 

    who 
    are 
    screaming 
    with 
    the 
    sheikhs 

    and 
    hallucin
    ating 
    demons 
    with 
    their 

    hands 
    all 
    full 
    of 
    snakes 

    foaming 
    at 
    the 
    mouth 
    and 

    rolling 
    around 
    the 
    floor 

    just 
    then 

    Mary 

    Mag
    dalene 
    come 
    busting 

    through 
    the 
    door 

    She 
    exclaimed, 
    he 
    is 
    alive, 

    and 
    have 
    seen 
    the 
    risen 

    Lord 

    Thomas 
    said, 
    what 
    does 
    she 
    know, 

    she's 
    just 
    lovesick 
    whore 

    she 
    said 
    well 
    if 
    you 
    don't 
    believe 
    me 
    go 
    see 

    the 
    empty 
    tomb 
    yeah 
    he 
    broke 
    the 

    chains 
    of 
    death 
    and 
    he'll 

    be 
    coming 
    for 
    us 
    soon 

    the 
    apostles 
    were 
    in 
    uproar 

    Peter 
    said 
    let 
    me 
    think 
    while 
    the 
    drunk 

    out 
    from 
    the 
    floor, 

    someone 
    get 
    me 
    drink 

    When 
    the 
    risen 
    lord 
    appeared 
    to 
    them 

    The 
    drunk 
    he 
    cowed 
    in 
    shame 

    Jesus 
    stared 
    straight 
    at 
    him 

    And 
    called 
    him 
    by 
    his 
    name 

    Well, 

    Jesus' 
    eyes 
    were burning 

    And 
    smile 
    lit 
    up 
    his 
    face 

    And 
    he 
    walked 
    up 
    to 
    the 
    drunk 

    And 
    he 
    gave 
    him 
    warm 
    embrace 

    An
    he 
    said, 
    brother, 

    you 
    were 
    truly 
    fool 

    But 
    no 
    more 
    than the 
    rest 
    of 
    these 
    puns 

    re
    named 
    you 
    the 
    pissed 
    apostle 

    The 
    patron 
    sin 
    of 
    drums 

    And 
    he 
    cried, 
    sweet 

    Jesus 

    What 
    have 
    gone 
    and 
    done? 

    While 
    they 
    nailed 
    you 
    to 
    cross 

    was 
    out 
    on 
    the 
    mountain 

    having 
    fun

    Now 

    Lord, 
    won't 
    you tell 
    me 

    How 
    can 
    never 
    make 
    amends 

    An
    I'll 
    never 
    touch 
    another 
    whore 

    Or 
    chase 
    drink 
    again 

    And 
    I'll 
    never 
    touch 
    another 
    whore 

    Or 
    chase 
    drink 
    again 

    And 
    I'll 
    never 
    touch 
    another 
    whore 

    Or 
    chase 
    drink 
    again

      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.
