    Clarissa 
    Jones got 
    bit on 
    the heel by 
    Verse 1

    a rat 
    and she hit it with 
    a 
    broom. 

    He 
    ran to 
    the corner 
    and stood there 
    grinning like 

    he owned the 
    god 
    damn' room. 

    Clarissa 
    Jones threw 
    an iron 
    at the rat and the 

    rat just 
    seemed to say, 
    "Fine." 

    He 
    twitched his 
    tail in 
    the corner and 
    said, "You've got 

    to go to sleep 
    some
    time." 

    Verse 2

    Clarissa 
    Jones's 
    kid aged 

    16 hated his 
    heavy 
    old 
    shoes. 

    He 
    wanted fine 
    strides like 
    the studs on 
    the street, and they'd 

    know he'd been 
    paying his 
    dues. 

    Clarissa 
    Jones's 
    kid got 
    busted, she 

    was three days 
    gettin' the 
    news
    . 

    They 
    gave him 
    a meal, a shower 
    and a uniform, 

    and two old 
    heavy 
    shoes. 

    Clarissa 
    Jones 
    where are 
    Verse 3
    you going, 

    It's 
    cold and 
    the wind 
    is blowing 

    through your 
    bones. 

    And 
    where, 
    where, 
    where 
    is your 
    man, 

    Clarissa 
    Jones? 


    Verse 4

    Clarissa 
    Jones carried 
    bed
    pans, swept 
    up, 

    changed sheets 
    and mopped the 
    hall
    s. 

    The 
    doctors 
    said she was 
    a very good 
    worker, 

    Clarissa Jones 
    knew them 
    all. 

    Now 
    Clarissa 
    Jones sits 
    in her window with 
    her paper reading 

    how they burned 
    the next street 
    flat. 

    She's 
    reading about 
    the trouble. She 
    ought to write 

    a letter saying 
    "Hey, it never 
    happened like 
    that." 

    Clarissa 
    Jones 
    where are 
    you going, 
    It's 
    Verse 5

    cold and 
    the wind is 
    blowing 

    through your 
    bones. 

    And 
    where, 
    where, 
    where 
    is your 
    man, 

    Clarissa 
    Jones? 


    Verse 6

    Mr. 
    William 
    Hawkins 
    rose early, 

    shaved, dressed 
    carefully 
    and 
    drank his 
    tea. 

    He 
    hit the 
    desk at 
    nine 
    thanks to 

    the Board of Opportun
    ity. 

    On 
    his 
    very first 
    day this 
    boss went 

    to great lengths 
    to make 
    him feel at 
    home, 

    And his 
    first 
    assignment was 
    a disposses on 

    Miss 
    Clarissa 
    Jones. 

    Verse 7
    Clarissa 
    Jones 
    where are 
    you going, 

    It's 
    cold 
    and the wind is 
    blowing 

    through your 
    bones 

    And 
    where, 
    where, 
    where 
    is your 
    man, 

    Clarissa 
    Jones? 

    Ah 
    where, 
    where, 
    where 
    is your 
    man, 

    Claris
    sa 
    Jones?

      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

      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.
