    Verse 1
    A 
    wino 
    we 
    called 

    Charlie 
    had 
    a 
    picture 

    That 
    he 
    wore 
    around 
    his 

    neck 
    up 
    on 
    a chain 

    But 
    you 
    couldn't 
    see 
    the 
    face 
    in 

    Charlie's 
    picture 

    Just 
    long 
    brown 
    hair 
    and 
    a 
    boy 
    in 
    the 
    frame 

    We 
    tried 
    and 
    tried 
    to 
    see 
    old 

    Charlie's 
    picture 

    But 
    we 
    couldn't 
    even 

    tempt 
    him 
    with 
    the 
    wine 

    His 
    shaky 
    hands 
    would 

    tightly 
    grip 
    the 
    picture 

    And 
    he'd 
    recite 
    the 
    poem 
    one 
    more 
    time 

    You 
    grace 
    this 
    frame, 

    the 
    picture 
    of 
    per
    fection 

    While 
    I'm 
    the 
    perfect 

    picture 
    of 
    dis
    grace 

    And 
    upon 

    Your 
    name 
    I 
    swear 
    until 
    I'm 
    worthy 

    I 
    forbid 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    look 
    upon 
    your 
    face 

    Old 

    Charlie 
    froze 
    to 
    death 
    one 

    Sunday 
    morning 

    We 
    found 
    him 
    and 
    I 
    guess 

    you 
    know 
    the 
    rest 

    Someone 
    removed 
    the 

    poor 
    from 
    his 
    picture 

    And 
    the 
    chilling 
    truth 
    lay 

    framed 
    upon 
    his 
    chest 

    As 
    I 
    knelt 
    down 
    beside 
    his 
    body, 

    the 
    picture 
    lay 
    there 
    before 
    my 
    anxious 
    eye
    s. 

    And 
    with 
    trembling 
    lips, 

    I 
    whispered 
    the 
    words 
    of 

    Charlie's 
    poem. 

    As 
    I 
    stared 
    into 
    the 
    face 
    of 

    Jesus 

    Christ 

    You 
    grace 
    this 
    frame, 

    the 
    picture 
    of 
    per
    fection 

    While 
    I'm 
    the 
    perfect 

    picture 
    of 
    dis
    grace 

    And 
    upon 
    your 
    name 
    I 
    swear, 
    until 
    I'm 
    worthy, 

    I 
    forbid 
    my 
    eyes 
    to 
    look 
    upon 
    your 
    face.

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
