  • Verse 1
    crossed 
    the 
    Rubicon 

    on the 
    fourteenth 
    day 

    Of 
    the most 
    dangerous 

    month 
    of the 
    year 

    At the 
    worst 
    time, 
    at the 
    worst 
    place 

    That's 
    all I 
    seem 
    to hear 

    got 
    up early 

    So 
    could greet 
    the 
    goddess 
    of 
    the dawn 

    I painted 
    my 
    wagon, 

    abandoned 
    all 
    hope 

    And 
    I crossed 
    the 
    Rubicon 

    Verse 2

    Well, 
    the Rubicon 
    is 
    a red 
    river 

    Goin' 
    gently 
    as 
    she flows 

    Redder 
    than 
    your 
    ruby 
    lips 

    And 
    the 
    blood 
    that 
    flows 
    from 
    the rose 

    Three 
    miles 
    north 
    of purgatory 

    One 
    step 
    from 
    the great 
    beyond 

    prayed 
    to the 
    cross, 
    kissed 
    the girls 

    And 
    crossed 
    the 
    Rubicon 

    Verse 3

    What 
    are these 
    dark 
    days 
    see? 

    In 
    this world 
    so 
    badly 
    bent 

    cannot 
    redeem 
    the 
    time 

    The time 
    so 
    idly 
    spent 

    How 
    much 
    longer 
    can it 
    last? 

    How 
    long 
    can 
    it 
    go 
    on? 

    embrace 
    my 
    love 

    Put 
    down 
    my 
    hair 

    And 
    crossed 
    the Rubicon 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    can 
    feel 
    the bones 
    beneath 
    my 
    skin 

    And 
    they're tremblin' 
    with 
    rage 

    I'll make 
    your 
    wife 
    a widow 

    You'll never 
    see 
    old 
    age 

    Show 
    me one 
    good 
    man 
    in sight 

    That 
    the sun 
    shines 
    down 
    upon 

    pawned 
    my 
    watch, 
    paid 
    my 
    debts 

    And 
    crossed 
    the Rubicon 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    Put 
    my 
    hide 
    up 
    on 
    hill 

    Where 
    some 
    happiness 
    I'll 
    find 

    If 
    I survive, 
    then 
    let me 
    love 

    Let 
    the hour 
    be 
    mine 

    Take 
    the high 
    road, 
    take 
    the low 

    Take 
    any 
    one 
    you're 
    on 

    poured 
    the cup, 
    passed 
    it 
    along 

    And 
    I crossed 
    the 
    Ru
    bicon 

    Verse 6

    Well, 
    you 
    defiled 
    the 
    most 
    lovely 
    flowers 

    In all 
    her 
    womanhood 

    Others 
    can 
    be 
    tolerant 

    Others 
    can 
    be good 

    I'll cut 
    you 
    up with 
    a crooked 
    knife 

    Lord, 
    and 
    I'll 
    miss you 
    when 

    you're 
    gone 

    stood 
    between 
    heaven 
    and 
    earth 

    And 
    I crossed 
    the Rubicon 

    Verse 7

    You won't 
    find 
    any 

    happiness 
    here 

    No happiness 
    or joy 

    Go back 
    to 
    the 
    gutter, 
    try 
    your 
    luck 

    Find 
    you some 
    nice 
    pretty 
    boy 

    Tell 
    me how 
    many 
    men I 
    need 

    And 
    who 
    can I 
    count 
    upon 

    I strapped 
    my 
    belt, 
    buttoned 
    my 
    coat 

    And 
    I crossed 
    the 
    Rubicon 

    Verse 8

    feel 
    the 
    holy 
    spirit 
    inside 

    See 
    the 
    light 
    that 
    freedom 
    gives 

    believe 
    it's 
    in 
    the 
    reach 
    of 

    Every 
    man 
    who 
    lives 

    Keep 
    as far 
    away 
    as 
    possible 

    It's 
    darkest 
    'fore 
    the dawn 

    (oh, Lord) 

    I turned 
    the key, 
    broke 
    it off 

    Interlude 3
    And 
    I crossed 
    the Rubicon 


    Verse 9
    Mornin' 
    baby, 
    I used 
    to look 
    my 
    mind 

    I truly 
    believe 
    that 
    you 
    are 

    Couldn't 
    be 
    anybody 
    else 
    but 
    you 

    Who's 
    come 
    with 
    me 
    this 
    far 

    The killing 
    frost 
    is 
    on the ground 

    And the 
    autumn 
    leaves 
    are 
    gone 

    lit 
    the torch, 
    I looked 
    to the 
    east 

    And I 
    crossed 
    the 
    Rubicon

    • 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.
