  • Verse 1
    live on a street 
    named after 
    a Saint 

    Women 
    in the churches 

    wear powder 
    and paint 

    Where 
    the Jews 
    and the Catholics 

    and 
    the Muslims 
    all 
    pray 

    I can 
    tell they're 
    Proddie from 

    a mile 
    away 

    Goodbye, 
    Jimmy 
    Reed, 

    Jimmy Reed, 
    indeed 

    Give me 
    that old 
    time 
    reli
    gion, 

    it's just 
    what I need 

    Verse 2
    For thine 
    is kingdom, 

    the power 
    and the glory 

    Go tell 
    it on the 
    moun
    tain, 

    go 
    tell the 
    real 
    story 

    Tell it 
    in that straightforward, 

    puritanical 
    tone 

    In 
    the 
    mystic 
    hours, 

    when 
    per
    son's alone 

    Goodbye, 
    Jimmy 
    Reed, 
    godspeed 

    Thump 
    on 
    the Bible, 
    proclaim 
    a creed 


    Verse 3

    You won't amount 
    to much, 

    the people 
    all said 

    'Cause 
    I didn't play 
    guitar 

    behind 
    my head 

    Never 
    pandered, 
    never 
    acted proud 

    Never 
    took off 
    my shoes, 

    throw 'em 
    in the crowd 

    Goodbye 
    Jimmy 
    Reed, 

    goodbye, 
    goodnight 

    Put 
    jewel 
    in your 
    crown 
    and I 
    put out the 

    lights 

    Verse 4

    They 
    threw everything 
    at me, 

    everything 
    in the 
    book 

    had nothing 
    to fight 
    with 
    but a 

    butcher
    's hook 

    They had 
    no pity, 

    they never 
    lend a hand 

    I can't 
    sing a song 
    that 

    don't 
    under
    stand 

    Good
    bye, Jimmy 
    Reed, 
    goodbye, 
    good luck 

    can't 
    play 
    the record 
    'cause 
    my 

    needle 
    got stuck 

    Verse 5

    Transparent 
    woman 
    in 

    transpar
    ent dress 

    Suits 
    you well, 
    must 
    confess 

    I'll 
    break open 
    your grapes, 

    I'll 
    suck out 
    the juice 

    I need 
    you 
    like 
    my head 
    needs a 

    noose 

    Goodbye, Jimmy 
    Reed, 

    goodbye 
    and so long 

    I thought 
    could 
    res
    ist her 
    but 

    I was so 
    wrong 

    Verse 6


    God 
    be 
    with you, 
    brother, 
    dear 

    If you 
    don't mind 
    me asking, 

    what 
    brings 
    you here? 

    Oh, 
    nothing 
    much, 

    I'm 
    just looking 
    for the man 

    Need to 
    see 
    where he's 
    lying 

    in this 
    lost 
    land 

    Goodbye 
    Jimmy Reed, 

    and everything 
    within 
    ya 

    Can't 
    you 
    hear 
    me 
    calling 
    from 

    down 
    in Virginia?

    • 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.
