    Verse 1
    Je
    sus 
    was 
    an 
    Atheist 

    He 
    was 
    a friend 
    of mine 

    We 
    hooked 
    up 
    in temple 

    Back 
    in 
    Roman 
    Palestine 

    We 
    became 
    friends 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    best 
    of 
    both 
    worlds 

    was 
    good 
    at stealing 
    silver 

    He 
    was good 
    at bullyin' 
    girls 

    He 
    Verse 2
    said 
    they're 
    going 
    to 
    kill 
    me 

    When 
    we 
    go 
    out 
    smokin' 

    thought 
    he 
    meant 
    the 
    cigarettes 

    But 
    Je
    sus 
    wasn't 
    jokin' 

    Verse 3
    Mary 
    was 

    a pragmatist 

    And virgin 
    rolled 
    in 
    one 

    One 
    day 
    she 
    said 
    to 
    Joseph 

    "Joe, 
    think 
    the time 
    has come 

    Your 
    boy 
    needs 
    to 
    get a 
    job 

    Try 
    the 
    laundromat" 

    Joseph 
    said, 
    "he 
    ain't 
    my 
    boy 

    think 
    we 
    settled 
    that" 

    Mary 
    said 
    something 
    about 

    Semantics 
    with 
    a smile 

    Joe 
    said, 
    "I'm 
    going 
    drinkin' 

    I'll 
    be 
    back 
    in 
    little 
    while" 

    Verse 4

    heard 
    somebody 
    say 

    Jesus 
    was 
    a Capricorn 

    Jesus 
    told 
    me 
    once 

    On 
    the 
    day 
    he was 
    born 

    giant 
    super 
    nova 
    exploded 
    in 
    the sky 

    He 
    said 
    he 
    didn't 
    know 

    What 
    it 
    was supposed 
    to signi
    fy 

    lost 
    touch 
    with 
    him 

    And 
    he 
    lost 
    touch 
    with 
    me 

    The 
    next 
    thing 
    remember 

    He 
    was 
    big 
    in 
    Ga
    lilee 

    Verse 5

    We 
    were 
    walk
    in' 
    in 
    the desert 

    Trading 
    big 
    hits 
    from 
    bong 

    They 
    said 
    it 
    was 
    40 days 

    It 
    didn't 
    seem 
    that 
    long 

    was 
    trying 
    to 
    talk 
    him 
    out 

    Of such 
    a pointless 
    sacrifice 

    He said 
    it 
    was 
    the 
    only 
    way 

    He got 
    to 
    para
    dise 

    said, 
    "You 
    might 
    be 
    high" 

    He said 
    was 
    mistaken 

    But 
    watching 
    him 
    die 

    Was 
    truly 
    heartbreak
    in' 

    Verse 6

    Je
    sus 
    descended 

    guess 
    you'd 
    call 
    it that 

    I'm 
    down 
    here, 
    baby 

    What 
    the 
    hell 
    you 
    lookin' 
    at? 

    I sometimes 
    wonder 
    if 

    we'd 
    stay 
    friends 

    How 
    am 
    to 
    change 
    the 
    way 

    This 
    party 
    end
    s? 

    know 
    you 
    all 
    believe 

    That Jesus 
    was 
    divine 

    Je
    sus 
    was 
    an atheist 

    He 
    was 
    a friend 
    of mine

    • 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.
