    Verse 1
    When you're 
    lost 

    in 
    the 
    rain 
    in 
    Juarez 

    And 
    it's 
    Eastertime too 

    And 
    your 
    gravity 
    fails 

    And 
    neg
    ativity 
    don't 

    pull you 
    through 

    Don't 
    put on 
    any 
    airs 

    When you're 
    down 
    on 
    Rue 

    Morgue 
    Avenue 

    They 
    got 
    some 
    hungry 
    women 
    there 

    And they 
    really 
    make 
    a mess 
    out 
    of 
    you 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    if you see 
    Saint 
    Annie 

    Please 
    tell 
    her thanks 
    a 
    lot 

    I 
    cannot 
    move 

    My fin
    gers 
    are 
    all in 
    a knot 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    the strength 

    To 
    get up 
    and 
    take 
    another 
    shot 

    And 
    my 
    be
    st 
    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 
    up one 
    or the other 

    Though 
    neither 
    of 
    them 
    are 
    to 

    be 
    what 
    they 
    claim 

    If you're 
    look
    in' 
    to get 
    silly 

    You better 
    go 
    back 
    to 
    from 

    where 
    you 
    came 

    Because 
    the cops 
    don't 
    need 
    you 

    And 
    man 
    they 
    expect 
    the 
    same 

    Verse 5

    Now all 
    the authorities 

    They 
    just 
    stand 
    around 
    and boast 

    How 
    they 
    blackmailed 

    the sergeant- 
    at- 
    arms 

    Into 
    leav
    ing 
    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 

    Interlude 1





    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 
    call 
    my 
    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.
