    So 
    grab 
    your 
    Verse 1

    rose 
    and 
    ring 
    side 
    seat, 

    We're 
    back 
    home 
    at 
    Conry's bar 

    The 
    blond 
    girl 
    with 
    her 
    tattoo, 

    Reds 
    and 
    wine, 
    cokes 
    of 
    course 

    Oh 
    my 
    Susie, 
    Verse 2
    my 
    Susie, 

    Why 
    did 
    we 
    ever 
    start 

    It's 
    morning 
    now, 
    you'd 
    never 
    know 

    The 
    gin, 
    the 
    gin, 
    glows 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Glows 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Verse 3

    And 
    underneath 
    the 
    black 
    light, 

    Under
    neath 
    it 
    all 

    Four 
    and 
    forty 
    red
    heads 
    meet, 

    Come 
    to 
    doom, 
    doom 
    the 
    dawn 

    With 
    threats 
    of 
    Verse 4
    gas 
    and 
    rose 
    mo
    tif 

    Their 
    lips 
    apart 
    like 
    swollen 
    rose 

    Their 
    tongues 
    ex
    tend, 
    and 
    then 
    re
    tract 

    red
    cap, 
    redcap, 
    be
    fore 
    the 
    kiss 

    Interlude 1
    Before 
    the 
    kiss. 





    Verse 5
    Doors 
    like 
    flint 
    and window 
    panes 

    An endless 
    shadow 
    bar 

    The 
    owner's 
    boys 
    have 
    gone 
    to work 

    To stop 
    big 
    deals 
    behind 
    that bar 

    Verse 6
    While 
    outside 
    on 
    the turnpike 

    They 
    got 
    this 
    new 
    hit tune 

    Where 
    thrills 
    become 
    as cheap 
    as gas 

    And 
    gas 
    as 
    cheap 
    as thrills 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 7
    One 
    threat 

    and mundane 
    here 
    at last 

    Ex
    pect 
    to cross 
    one more 

    Lecherous 
    invisible 

    Be
    ware 
    the livid 
    cat 

    Verse 8
    Whose 
    black 
    teeth 
    grip 

    between 
    loose 
    jaws 

    Still ripe 
    and 
    fully 
    bloomed 

    rose 
    that's 
    not 
    from 
    anywhere 

    That 
    you would 
    know 
    or I 
    would 
    care 

    Interlude 3



    Verse 9
    And the 
    owners 
    act 
    most 
    cheerfully 

    Back 
    home 
    at 
    Conry's bar 

    When 
    their 
    patrons' thoughts 
    at last 

    Grow 
    too big 
    for 
    their 
    skulls 

    Verse 10
    Aw
    ful 
    things 
    are 
    happening 

    We've 
    let 
    this 
    drama 
    fold 

    And 
    now 
    the time 
    has 
    come 
    at last 

    To crush 
    the motif 
    of 
    the rose. 

    Interlude 4




    So 
    grab 
    your 
    Verse 11
    rose 
    and 
    ring 
    side 
    seat 

    We're 
    back 
    home 
    at 
    Conry's bar 

    The 
    blond 
    girl 
    with 
    her 
    tattoo 

    Reds 
    and 
    wine, 
    cokes 
    of course 

    Oh my 
    Susie, 
    Verse 12
    my 
    Susie 

    Why 
    did 
    we 
    ever 
    start 

    It's 
    morning 
    now, 
    you'd 
    never 
    know 

    The 
    gin, the 
    gin, 
    glows 
    in 
    the 
    dark 

    Outro 1
    Glows in 
    the 
    dark

    • 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.
