  • Verse 1
    In 

    Gloucester 
    Cathedral, 

    on 
    Saturday 
    night 

    I came 
    to 
    your flower 
    show, 

    blown 
    like 
    kite 

    And I 
    stood 
    by 
    the tomb
    stones, 

    and gazed 
    at the lights 

    On 
    the 
    altar 

    And 
    the 
    horse- 
    faced 
    old 
    ladies 

    and 
    tweedy- 
    toned 
    men 

    Of 
    county 
    soci
    ety 
    they 

    came 
    and 
    they went 

    With 
    pamphlets 
    and leaflets 

    of 
    Christian 
    event

    For 
    the fall 

    Verse 2

    But 
    ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    like 
    Je
    sus 

    Crying 
    in 
    the rain? 

    Ain't 
    it 
    all 
    just 
    Geth

    semane 
    again? 

    Verse 3

    Oh 
    the half- 
    a- crown 
    programmes 

    on 
    sale 
    at 
    the door 

    Were 
    clutched 
    in 
    the teeth 

    of 
    the 
    rich 
    and the 
    poor 

    As 
    they swayed 
    in 
    an un
    dertone 

    conscience- 
    free 

    Forward 
    to
    gether 

    And the 
    outstretching 
    hands 

    of the 
    swains 
    of 
    the Lord 

    Sold 
    the 
    com
    muning 
    com

    muters 
    the 
    word 

    With 
    LPs of Mary 
    and 
    photos 
    of God 

    In the hall 

    Verse 4

    But 
    ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    like 
    Je
    sus 

    Crying 
    in 
    the rain? 

    Ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    Gethsemane 

    again? 

    Verse 5

    Oh 
    the flowers 
    hushed 
    the 
    air 

    as 
    the 
    columns 
    advanced 

    To the 
    clinking 
    of 
    coins 

    in a ritual 
    dance 

    On 
    flagstones 
    that 
    ached 
    for 

    chance 
    of 
    a chance 

    Of 
    escap
    ing 

    And 
    the 
    mystical 
    statues 
    looked 

    down 
    so 
    de
    pressed 

    At the 
    endless 
    pos
    sessors 

    be
    coming 
    pos
    sessed 

    And 
    the 
    costumed 
    con
    fessors 

    who nev
    er 
    con
    fessed 

    To 
    the wall

    ain't 
    it all

    like 
    Je

    in 
    the rain? 

    Ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    Gethse
    mane 
    again? 

    Verse 7

    Oh I 
    saw 
    a blue 
    hair- 
    rinse, 

    saw 
    black 
    tooth 

    I saw 
    a false 
    face 

    in a telephone 
    booth 

    And 
    the stark 
    white- 
    faced 
    roses 

    that screamed 
    out 
    the truth 

    Of 
    their 
    dying 

    And a 
    wal
    rus's dreams 

    and a car
    penter's 
    love 

    Absorbed 
    like a hand 
    in 

    a great 
    rubber 
    glove 

    And 
    flown 
    like 
    a flag 
    over 
    bat
    tlefields 

    Factories 
    and 
    all 

    Verse 8
    Ain't

    just 
    like 
    Je
    sus 

    Crying 
    in 
    the rain? 

    Ain't it 
    all 
    just 
    Geth
    se
    mane 
    again? 

    Verse 9

    Oh I 
    dodged 
    the collection 
    box 

    choirboy and out

    To 
    the streets 
    where 
    the 
    wind 
    shook 

    my 
    hair 
    with 
    a shout 

    And the 
    dusty- 
    faced 
    dais

    ies 
    were 
    blowing 
    about 

    So 
    freely 

    And 
    Christ 
    in 
    the ru
    ins 
    was 

    wandering 
    again 

    As he 
    walked 
    with the 
    beg
    gars 

    and 
    talked 
    to the 
    lame 

    And 
    danced 
    with 
    the chil
    dren 

    and 
    sail
    ors 
    who came 

    At 
    his call 

    Verse 10

    But 
    ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    like 
    Je
    sus 

    Crying 
    in 
    the rain? 

    Ain't 
    it 
    all 
    just 
    Gethsemane 

    again? 

    Verse 11

    Ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    like 
    Je
    sus 

    Crying 
    in the 
    rain? 

    Ain't 
    it all 
    just 
    like 
    Nazareth 
    again?

      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.
