    Year's 
    Eve 

    Somebody 
    said 
    dignity 

    was the 
    first to 
    leave 

    I went 
    into the 
    city, 
    went 
    in
    to the

    Blind 
    man 

    breakin' 
    out of a trance 

    Puts 
    both his hands 

    in the pockets 
    of chance 

    Hopin'

    one 
    circumstance

    Lou 

    She 
    said "I don't 
    want nobody 

    see me 
    talkin' 
    to you." 

    Said 
    she 
    could get 
    killed 
    if she 

    told me what 
    she knew 

    About 
    dignity 

    I 
    Verse 7
    went down 
    where the 
    vultures 
    feed 

    I 
    would've got 
    deeper, 

    but there 
    was
    n't any 
    need 

    Heard the 
    tongues 
    of angels 

    and 
    the 
    tongues 
    of men 

    Was
    n't any 
    difference 
    to me 

    Verse 8
    Chilly 
    wind 
    sharp 
    as a 
    razor blade 

    House 
    on 
    fire, 
    debts 
    unpaid 

    Gonna 
    stand 
    at the window, 

    gonna 
    ask 
    the maid 

    Have you 
    seen 
    dignity? 


    Verse 9
    Drinkin' 

    man 
    listens 
    to the 
    voice 
    he 
    hears 

    In 
    a crowded 
    room 
    full 

    of covered 
    up mirrors 

    Lookin' 
    into the lost 
    forgot

    ten years 

    For dignity 

    Verse 10
    Met Prince 
    Phillip 
    at the 
    home 
    of the blues 

    Said 
    he'd give me 
    information if his 

    name wasn't 
    used 

    He wanted 
    money up 
    front, 

    said he was 
    abused 

    By 
    dignity 

    Footprints 
    runnin' 
    cross the 
    sliver 
    Verse 11

    sand 

    Steps 
    goin' 
    down 
    into 
    tattoo 
    land 

    I 
    met 
    the sons 
    of darkness 

    and 
    the 
    sons 
    of 
    light 

    In the 
    bordertowns of despair 

    Verse 12
    Got no 
    place 
    to fade, 
    got 
    no coat 

    I'm 
    on the rollin' 
    river 
    in 
    a jerkin' 
    boat 

    Try
    in' 
    to read 
    a note 

    some
    body 
    wrote 

    About 
    dignity 


    Verse 13
    Sick 
    man 
    lookin' 

    for 
    the doctor's 
    cure 

    Lookin' at 
    his hands 
    for 

    the lines 
    that were 

    And 
    into every 
    masterpiece 
    of 
    literature 

    for 
    dignity 

    Verse 14
    Englishman 
    stranded 
    in the 
    blackheart wind 


    Combin' 
    his 
    hair back, 

    his 
    future 
    looks thin 

    Bites 
    the 
    bullet 
    and 
    he 
    looks 
    within 

    For 
    dignity 

    Someone 
    showed 
    Verse 15
    me a picture 

    and I just 
    laughed 

    Dignity 
    never been 
    photo
    graphed 

    I went 
    in
    to the 
    red, 
    went 
    into 
    the black 

    Into 
    the 
    valley 
    of dry 
    bone 
    dreams 

    So 
    Verse 16
    many 
    roads, 
    so 
    much 
    at stake 

    So 
    many dead 
    ends, 

    I'm at 
    the edge 
    of the lake 

    Sometimes 
    I 
    wonder 
    what 

    it's gonna 
    take 

    To find 
    dignity

      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.
