    Verse 1
    Workin' 
    out 
    of 
    homicide 

    They told 
    me Joe 
    Vinelli died 

    We'd 
    been 
    a team 
    for seven 
    years 

    His 
    widow 
    wouldn't 
    waste 
    her 
    tears 

    Who'd 
    done 
    it? 
    No 
    one seemed 
    to care 

    'Cause 
    crooked 
    cops 

    foul 
    up 
    the 
    air 

    But since 
    worked 
    so 
    long 
    with 
    Joe 

    I felt 
    had 
    the right 
    to know 

    Verse 2
    I found 
    a club 
    in 
    Malibu 

    He'd 
    gone 
    when 
    he 
    felt 

    black 
    and 
    blue 

    Twenty 
    bucks 
    in 
    petty 
    cash 

    The 
    hat- 
    check 
    girl 
    spilled 

    out 
    some 
    trash 

    In 
    tale 
    heard 
    a name 

    That 
    rang 
    gong 
    to save 
    the 

    game 

    A congressman 
    named 
    Thollie Doakes 

    Who 
    had 
    a place 
    in 
    Sherman 
    Oaks 

    Verse 3
    Step 
    softly 
    gum 
    shoe, 

    you're 
    out 
    of 
    your 
    class 

    You're 
    trailing 
    money, 

    therefore 
    then 
    there's 
    glass 
    in 
    the 
    grass! 

    Brass 
    knuckles 
    won't 
    help 
    you 
    when 

    your 
    hands 
    ain't 
    clean 

    Rubber 
    hoses, 

    broken 
    noses 
    are 
    trench 
    coat 
    scene 

    And 
    you 
    ain't 
    dressed 
    for 
    this 
    af
    fair 

    You're 
    breathing 
    rarefied 
    air 

    Up 
    through 
    the 
    luscious 
    es
    Verse 4

    tate 
    wheeled 

    A servant 
    made 
    me show 

    my shield 

    The congress
    man 
    con
    versed 
    with 
    me 

    He 
    flashed 
    his 
    smile 

    convincingly 

    He said 
    he'd 
    not 
    a thing 
    to 
    hide 

    Which 
    told 
    me 
    right 
    away 
    he 
    lied 

    'Cause 
    how 
    could 
    he 
    af

    ford 
    the rent 

    Unless 
    he's 
    somewhat 
    overspent? 

    Verse 5
    And 
    down 
    the stairs 
    he 

    missed 
    his 
    dose 

    The kind 
    that 
    takes 
    off 

    ermine 
    cloaks 

    She'd 
    left 
    her furs 
    upon 

    her 
    bed 

    And slipped 
    on 
    angel 
    lace 
    instead 

    Her 
    husband 
    left 
    to get 
    a drink 

    Her 
    eyes 
    squared 
    up 
    the 

    way 
    I think 

    I figured 
    Doakes had 
    murdered 

    Joe 

    When blackmail 
    for 
    his 
    needing 
    go 

    Verse 6
    Brass 
    knuckles 
    copper, 

    you're 
    falling 
    in 
    love 

    You're 
    near 
    the 
    rim 
    of 
    hell, 

    but 
    you 
    see 
    heaven 
    above! 

    Brass 
    knuckles 
    won't 
    fail 
    you, 

    but 
    the 
    light 
    touch 
    will 

    Pistol 
    holder, 
    chip 
    on 
    shoulder 
    with 

    your 
    guts 
    set 
    to spill 

    You think 
    that 
    justice 
    just 
    owes 
    you 
    face 

    Your 
    brain 
    is 
    loaded 
    with 
    blanks 

    The 
    angel 
    felt 
    Verse 7
    heavenly 

    She 
    sank 
    her 
    body 
    into 
    me 

    My 
    double- 
    breasted 
    suit 
    fit 
    fine 

    Her form 
    aligned 
    it
    self 
    with 
    mine 

    wonder 
    I'd 
    nat
    ural 
    brain 

    I smelled 
    the 
    truth 
    out 
    clean 
    and 
    plain 

    I'd 
    have 
    to take 
    her 

    husband 
    in 
    that 
    night 

    hoped 
    he'd 
    come 

    without 
    a fight 

    Verse 8
    That's 
    when 
    the 
    angel 
    stole 
    my 
    gun 

    And 
    said, 
    "I 
    hate 
    to spoil 
    your fun" 

    Then 
    laughing, 

    she 
    ex
    plained 
    to me 

    The murderer 
    was 
    none 
    but she 

    love 
    affair 
    with 
    Joe 
    went 
    tired 

    And six 
    shots 
    into 
    him, she 

    fired 

    The congressman, 

    a jerk 
    like 
    me 

    Had covered 
    up 
    to keep 
    her free 

    Verse 9
    So 
    goodbye 
    shameless, 

    I'll 
    aim 
    for 
    the chest 

    The bullet 
    hole 
    that 
    entered 

    near 
    the top 
    of 
    your 
    vest! 

    You 
    lost 
    your 
    heart 
    already 
    so 

    you 
    won't 
    feel 
    the pain 

    Brass 
    knuckles, 

    brass 
    knuckles 
    and 
    a brass- 
    headed 
    brain 

    Take 
    breath, 
    prepare 
    to crash 

    You'll see 
    bright 
    blinding 
    flash!

      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 🙂

      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.
