    Verse 1
    Among 
    the headstones 
    you played 

    as 
    boys 

    Crypts 
    and 
    tombs 
    like 
    a room

    ful 
    of toys 

    Just 
    up the river 
    from 
    the smoke 

    and the 
    noise 

    Gethsemane 

    And 
    there’s 
    war-whoops 
    and 

    secret 
    signs 
    in 
    the trees 

    Estuary 
    smell
    s coming 

    up 
    on the 
    breeze 

    perfect 
    end
    less 
    days 
    like 
    these 

    Gethsemane 

    Verse 2
    Sailboat 
    on 
    the 

    Cadie, pushbike on 
    the quay 

    In your 
    eyes 
    there’s fire, 

    in your 
    hand 
    destiny 

    ‘O be 
    something, 

    be 
    something 
    fine!’ 


    Verse 3
    Just 


    down 
    the 
    river, 

    into 
    the 
    noise 
    and the smoke 

    Being 
    daring 
    with the staring, 

    uncaring 
    folk 

    Who 
    laugh 
    with you, 
    laugh 
    at 
    you, 

    you’ll never 
    get 
    the joke 

    Geth
    semane 

    And they 
    broke 
    your spirit 

    there 
    in 
    the 
    mar
    ines 

    Flushed 
    your 
    head 
    down 

    in 
    the 
    latrines 

    Frozen 
    in 
    your sacrement, 

    de
    railed 
    in 
    your teens 

    Never 
    saw 
    the 
    enemy 

    Verse 4
    And those 
    bosses 
    betrayed, 

    soon 
    let 
    you go 

    The fire 
    in your 
    eyes, 

    how 
    could 
    they 
    know 

    ‘O be 
    something, 
    be 
    something 




    fine!’ 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    you’ve got 
    your 
    own 
    boys, 

    hell 
    bent 
    for leather

    Dead 
    before 
    they’re 18, or 

    bitter 
    old 
    men 
    forever

    They 
    never saw 
    the 
    halo 

    moon 
    rise 
    over 
    the river 

    Of 
    Gethsemane 

    Now 
    there’s a 
    pain 
    in your 

    head 
    puts 
    lead 
    in 
    your shoes 

    Better 
    get 
    it seen 
    to, 

    it’s going 
    to be 
    bad 
    news

    How did 
    the perfect 
    world 
    get 

    so 
    con
    fused 

    Gethsemane 

    Verse 6
    Who sucked 
    out 
    the freedom, 

    days 
    without 
    end 

    Under 
    the 
    weight 
    of it 
    all 

    you must 
    bend 

    ‘O be 
    something, 
    be 
    something fine!’

    • 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

      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

      Lynae T

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