Key: A minor•BPM: 122
Verse 1
Am
My name is Alice Walker,
they never told me why
G
I'm not named for anybody,
it's a name out of the sky
F
They thought it was pretty I guess,
way back when
Am
I'll change it some day
I like to pretend, I'm Just a visitor here
Like on one of those shows
G
In a house full of people I don't
hardly know
F
But we'll all get to home in a week or so
Am
Back to real life
Verse 2
Am
And I'm picking up the carpet in
the corner where I crash
G
I'm too tired to separate the
pennies from the trash
F
And I don't guess it matters
even why Jesus died
Am
I can tell you about sins
Verse 3
Am
They got this duplex up on Fire Line Road
G
It's way out from town,
so the rent's pretty low,
F
Not much more than a cinder block cell
Am
Just like the one next door
And the next one as well
Verse 4
Am
And the bus don't run out
here but three times a day
G
The 7- 11, it's a full mile away
F
And there's a car in the yard,
mostly rust and dents
G
Am
We moved here in it,
G
but it hasn't run since
Verse 5
Am
[Chorus] Forget my name,
G
Am
G
can you forget my face
Am
Gonna lose myself in some
F
G
Am
G
finer place
Am
G
Am
G
Finer Places, where I'll go
Am
F
I'll leave no trace out on
Am
Fire Line Road
Verse 6
Am
And there's a pile of daddy's quick-
picks scattered on the floor
G
Among the half empty bottles,
that chair against the door
F
In case he comes home drinkin',
with lovin' on his mind
Am
I'd never let it happen,
but that don't stop him tryin'
My sister weren't so lucky,
he got to her too soon
G
She never saw it coming,
he knew just what to do
F
To keep her silent
I swear to god I'll kill him if I can
Am
He said she made him do it, after all he's just a man

Verse 7
Am
[Chorus] Now she snorts
that crank,
and stares at the phone
G
She ain't big as a minute,
just skin on bone
F
She bites her nails right down
to the quick
Am
And they've taken her babies,
and they won't give them back
And I know she loves them
and god knows she tries,
G
But when you're that far down
you're just going to get high
F
It's like eating or breathing to the rest of us
C
Am
She can't even feel bad without the stuff

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
