He said, metabolism is international
Am

E
Cause ever since that day we've

Doc rigged up his microscope with some
Berlin blue blood
And by gosh it was the same as
Chunk
Kane,
Kuiper
Shelf,
Chat
Milk, or
Am
Tim buktu blood
E
While those men who think they're noble don't even
Am
know that the core puzzle is global
E
Tried disuniting us with their racial supremacy, and flying in the face of old man chemistry,
and taking all the facts and trying to twist them.
But you can't overthrow the
circulatory system, get it?
Am
E
And that was news,
Am
yes that was news.
C
That was very, very, very special news.
E
Cause ever since that day we've

Add our soups and hydrochloric acid
and you stir it all up.
And what are you?

It's an international metabolistic cartel.

“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 🙂”
