    For 
    the sake 
    of Mary 
    Verse 1
    I 
    kicked 
    the 
    reds 

    Junked 
    the 
    juice, 

    drink 
    coffee 
    instead 

    Straightened 
    my 
    teeth, 
    bent 
    my 
    back 

    Cut 
    my 
    friends 
    dead 
    from 

    the 
    old 
    rat 
    pack 

    For Mary 

    Verse 2

    She 
    bought 
    me 
    this 
    silk 
    suit, 

    watch 
    and 
    chain 

    She put 
    the 
    rhythm 
    in 

    my stride 
    again 

    She showed 
    me 
    the way 

    to make 
    her feel 
    good 

    If 
    I could 
    do 
    more 
    then 
    I surely 
    would 

    For 
    Mary 

    Verse 3
    For 
    Mary 

    For 
    the sake 
    of 
    Mary 
    I do 
    what 
    I 
    can 

    She still 
    don't 
    trust 
    me 
    to be 
    her 
    man 

    I say 
    the 
    right 
    thing 
    but 

    my timing's 
    bad 

    She 
    thinks 
    I'm 
    like 
    the rest, 

    but 
    I'm 
    the best 
    she's 
    ever 
    had 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    For 
    the sake 
    of 
    Mary 

    I 
    was 
    cook 
    first 
    class 
    on 
    the 
    Belfast 
    be 

    But 
    when 
    she 
    sailed 
    Verse 5
    she 
    sailed 
    without 
    me 

    In 
    Needle 
    Pete's 
    got 
    my 
    last 
    tattoo 

    In bleeding 
    letters 
    of 
    red 
    and 
    blue 

    Verse 6
    For 
    Mary 

    For 
    the sake 
    of 
    Mary 
    I changed 
    my 
    drift 

    Got 
    a good 
    job 
    on 
    the graveyard 
    shift 

    She 
    set 
    her 
    heart 
    on 
    a 
    pretty 
    little 
    place 

    I 
    want 
    to see 
    the tears 
    of 
    joy 
    on 
    her 
    face 

    For 
    Verse 7
    Mary 




    For 
    the sake 
    of Mary 

    I keep 
    the flame 

    I don't 
    want 
    to be 
    the 
    villain 
    again 

    She's 
    had 
    her 
    bad 
    times 
    and 

    it's 
    shook 
    her 
    about 

    I don't 
    want 
    to take 
    the easy 
    way 
    out 

    For 
    the 
    Verse 8
    Outro 1
    sake 
    of 
    Mary

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
