    Verse 1
    Christina 
    the Astonishing 

    Lived 
    a long 
    time 
    ago 

    She 
    was stricken 
    with 
    a seizure 

    Verse 2
    At the 
    age 
    of 
    twenty-two 

    They 
    They 
    took 
    her body 
    in a 
    coffin 

    To 
    a tiny 
    church 
    in 
    Liege 

    Where she 
    sprang 
    up 
    from 
    the coffin 

    Just 
    after 
    the Agnus 
    Dei 

    Verse 3

    She 
    soared 
    up 
    to 
    the rafters 

    Perched 
    on 
    a beam 
    up 
    there 

    Cried 
    "The stink 
    of 
    human 
    sin 

    The 
    stink 
    of human 
    sin 

    The 
    stink 
    is 
    more 
    that I 
    can 
    bear" 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    Christina 
    the 
    Astonishing 

    Was 
    the most 
    astonishing 
    of 
    all 

    She 
    prayed 
    balanced 
    on 
    a hurdle 

    Or 
    curled 
    up 
    into 
    ball 

    Verse 5

    She 
    fled 
    to 
    remote 
    places 

    Climbed 
    towers 
    and trees 
    and 
    walls 

    To 
    escape 
    the stench 
    of human 

    corruption 

    The stench 
    of 
    human 
    corruption 

    Into 
    an oven 
    she 
    did 
    crawl

    Behaved 
    in a terrifying

    She 
    would 
    run 
    wildly 
    through the 
    streets 

    Jump 
    in 
    the 
    Meusse and 
    swim 
    away

    • 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.
