    Verse 1
    When 
    you're 
    lost 
    in 
    the rain 

    in 
    Juarez 
    when 
    it's 
    Easter 
    time, 
    too 

    And 
    your 
    gravity 
    fails 
    and 
    negat
    ivity 

    don't 
    pull 
    you 
    through 

    Don't 
    put 
    on 
    any 
    airs 
    when 
    you're 

    down 
    on 
    Rue 
    Morgue 
    Av
    enue 

    They got 
    some 
    hungry 
    women 
    there 
    and 

    they really 
    make 
    a 
    mess 
    outta 
    you 

    Verse 2

    Now, 
    if 
    you 
    see 
    Saint 
    Annie, 

    please 
    tell 
    her thanks 
    a 
    lot 

    I cannot 
    move, 
    my 
    fingers 
    are 
    all 
    in a knot 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    the strength 
    to get 

    up 
    and 
    take 
    another 
    shot 

    And 
    my 
    best 
    friend, 
    my 
    doctor, 

    won't 
    even 
    say 
    what 
    it is 
    I've 
    got 

    Verse 3

    Sweet 
    Melinda, 
    the 
    peasants 
    call 

    her the 
    goddess 
    of gloom 

    She 
    speaks 
    good 
    English 
    and 
    she in

    vites 
    you 
    up 
    into 
    her room 

    And 
    you're 
    so 
    kind 
    and 
    careful 

    not 
    to 
    go 
    to 
    her 
    too 
    soon 

    And 
    she takes 
    your 
    voice 
    and 
    leaves 

    you 
    howling 
    at 
    the moon 

    Verse 4

    Up 
    on 
    Housing 
    Project 
    Hill, 

    it's 
    either 
    fortune 
    or 
    fame 

    You 
    must 
    pick 
    one 
    or 
    the other, 

    though 
    neither 
    of 
    them 
    are 
    to 
    be 
    what 
    they 
    claim 

    If 
    you're 
    lookin' 
    to get 
    silly, 

    you 
    better 
    go 
    back 
    to from 
    where 
    you 
    came 

    Because 
    the cops 
    don't 
    need 
    you, 
    and 
    man, 

    Interlude 1
    they 
    expect 
    the 
    same 







    Verse 5
    Now, 
    all 
    the 
    authorities, 

    they 
    just 
    stand 
    around 
    and boast 

    How 
    they 
    blackmailed 
    the sergeant- 

    at- arm
    s 
    into 
    leaving 
    his 
    post 

    And 
    picking 
    up 
    Angel, 

    who 
    just 
    arrived 
    here 
    from 
    the coast 

    Who 
    looked so 
    fine 
    at first 
    but 
    left 

    looking 
    just 
    like 
    a ghost 

    Verse 6

    I started 
    out 
    on 
    burgundy 
    but soon 
    hit 

    the 
    harder 
    stuff 

    Everybody 
    said 
    they'd 
    stand 
    be
    hind 

    me 
    when 
    the game 
    got 
    rough 

    But 
    the joke 
    was on 
    me, 

    there 
    was 
    nobody 
    even 
    there 
    to 
    bluff 

    I'm going 
    back 
    to New 
    York 
    City, 

    Outro 1
    I do 
    believe 
    I've 
    had 
    enough

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
