    Verse 1
    Growing 
    up 
    on 

    the streets 
    of 
    Birmingham 

    Where 
    your home 
    was 
    pouring 

    and 
    your 
    life 
    was 
    damned 

    I 
    was 
    a 
    hungry 
    black 
    boy 
    living 
    with 

    the 
    world 
    on 
    my 
    back

    Billie 
    was 
    a 
    white 
    man's 
    son 

    living 
    in 
    a one 
    room 
    shack 

    Verse 2

    And 
    split 
    those 
    days 
    in 
    the 

    Alabama 
    heat 

    We shared 
    what 
    we 
    had 
    but 
    we 

    never 
    have 
    enough 
    to 
    eat 

    Mamma 
    said 
    it 
    didn't 
    look 
    right, 

    black 
    just 
    don't 
    mix 
    with 
    white 

    But 
    Billy 
    was 
    my 
    friend 
    and 
    we 

    swore 
    one 
    rainy 
    night 

    Verse 3
    To 
    be 
    blood 
    brother 

    Lord, 
    I 
    loved 
    him 
    like 
    no 
    other 

    We 
    were 
    blood 
    brother 

    right 
    to 
    the en
    d 

    To 
    the 
    end, well, 
    well, 
    well 

    Turned 
    eighteen 
    Verse 4
    and 
    we 

    had 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    go 

    'Cause 
    how 
    long 
    can 
    you 
    watch 
    carnival 

    Billy 
    said 
    he 
    got 
    the 
    money, 

    put 
    us 
    on 
    the 
    first 
    Greyhound 
    bus 

    New 
    York 
    City 
    lights 
    gonna 
    be 
    greetin' 
    us 

    Verse 5
    Oh, 
    the 
    uptown 
    life 
    can 

    cost 
    you 
    poverty 

    We're 
    too 
    amused 
    but 

    we suffered 
    in 
    dignity 

    Billy 
    couldn't 
    take 
    nine 
    to 
    five, 

    his 
    soul 
    can't 
    stay 
    alive 

    He 
    said 
    to 
    me 
    one 
    day, 

    we 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    beat 
    the 
    crime 

    Verse 6
    You're 
    my 
    blood 
    brother 

    And 
    I 
    loved 
    him 
    like 
    no 
    other 

    We 
    were 
    blood 
    brother 

    right 
    till 
    the 
    end 

    Well, 
    well, 
    well, 
    yeah 

    Verse 7

    So 
    I 
    watched 
    him 
    change 

    as 
    the 
    days 
    went 
    by 

    And 
    the 
    money 
    rolled 
    in, 

    we 
    were 
    livin' 
    high 

    He 
    didn't 
    have 
    to 
    tell 
    me 
    he 

    was 
    breakin' 
    the 
    law 

    I 
    knew 
    it 
    was 
    him, 

    the 
    men 
    was 
    lookin' 
    for 

    Verse 8

    And 
    the story 
    goes 
    that 
    he 
    caught 
    a 
    knife 

    And 
    he 
    pushed 
    his 
    luck 
    and 
    it 
    cost 
    his 
    life 

    I 
    sat 
    down 
    and 
    I 
    cried 
    on 

    that 
    rainy 
    night 

    When 
    I 
    heard 
    heard 
    it 
    on 
    the 
    news 

    One 
    [Incomprehensible] had 
    died 

    Verse 9
    We 
    were 
    blood 
    brother 

    And 
    I 
    loved 
    him 
    like 
    no 
    other 

    He 
    was 
    my 
    blood 
    brother 

    And 
    I 
    loved 
    him 
    like 
    no 
    other 

    Verse 10
    They 
    were 
    blood 
    brother 

    And 
    he 
    loved 
    him 
    like 
    no other 

    They 
    were 
    blood 
    brother 

    And 
    he 
    loved 
    him like 
    no other

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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 🙂

      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.
