  • Verse 1
    Crowds 
    gather 
    round, 

    Kneeling 
    at 
    the feet 
    of 
    common 
    thieves, 


    Hungry 
    for 
    the 

    Word, 

    But 

    God 
    would 
    never 
    speak 

    to 
    such 
    as 
    these, 

    Such 
    as 
    these, 

    Who 
    are 
    for 
    healing 
    hands 
    an
    bones, 

    And 
    redemp
    tion 
    if 
    you 

    cross 
    their 
    palms 

    They'll 
    tell 
    your 
    troubles 
    to 
    the 

    Lord 

    For 
    however 
    much 
    you 
    can 
    af
    ford 

    Hands 
    holding 
    hands 
    in 
    the 
    circle 
    of 
    the 

    sinners 
    and 
    the saved 

    Memories 
    that linger 
    from 
    the cradle 

    placing 
    puzzles 
    in 
    the grave 

    In 
    the grave 

    No 
    mortal, 
    skin 
    and 
    bone 

    Can 
    live 
    on 
    bread 
    and 
    circuses 
    alone 

    The 
    spirit 
    needs 
    must 
    thrive 

    The 
    mystery 
    of 

    While 
    you're 
    alive 

    They 
    look 
    in their 
    book 
    and 
    they 
    read 

    But 
    their 
    cold 
    hearts 
    say 

    Fol
    low 
    me 

    Dance 
    in 
    the 
    dust, 
    in 
    the 
    frenzy 

    Of 
    the desperately 
    in 
    need 

    Led 
    by 
    the 
    voices 
    of 
    the men 
    who 
    invoke 
    ritual 
    to 
    hide 
    their 
    greed, 

    hide 
    their 
    greed 

    Come 
    every 
    town, 
    every 
    isle, 

    across 
    the crumbling 
    earth 
    and cracking 
    skies 

    The 
    gates 
    of 
    hell 
    stand 
    open 
    wide, 

    but 
    the 
    path 
    of glory 
    you 
    walk 
    is 
    single 
    file. 

    They 
    lurk 
    in 
    their 
    boyhood, 
    baby, 

    but 
    their 
    cold 
    hearts 
    say, 
    follow 
    me. 

    These 
    men 
    make 
    cage 
    for 
    the 
    very 

    souls 
    that came 
    here 
    to 
    be 
    freed 

    They 
    turn 
    out 
    their 
    lights, 
    fold 
    their 
    tents, 

    they're 
    fixin' 
    to leave 


    They're 
    luck
    y, 

    they're 
    born 
    and 
    they're 
    rich 

    But 
    their 
    cold 
    heart 
    is 
    here, 

    found 
    on 
    me 

    They'll 
    close 
    all 
    their 
    book

    and 
    they'll 
    leave 

    The 
    cold 
    hard 
    sheets 

    On 
    my 
    knees 

    They'll 
    close 
    their 

    book 
    an
    leave 

    They'll 
    close 
    up 
    their 

    groups 
    and 
    they'll 
    leave 

    You 
    and me 

    Still 
    you 
    and 
    me

    • 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.
