    Verse 1
    He's 

    wino, tried 
    and true. 

    Done 
    about 
    everything 
    there is 
    to do. 

    He 
    worked 
    on 
    freighters, 
    he 
    worked 
    in 
    bars. 

    He 
    worked 
    on 
    farms, 

    'n he 
    worked 
    on cars. 

    Verse 2
    It was 
    white 
    port, that 

    put that 
    look 
    in his 
    eye 

    That 
    grown 
    men 
    get 

    when they need 
    to 
    cry 

    And 
    he 
    sat 
    down 
    on the 
    curb 
    to rest 

    And his 
    head 
    just fell 
    down 

    on 
    his chest 

    Verse 3
    He said 
    "Every 
    single 
    day 
    it gets 

    little 
    bit 
    harder 
    to handle 
    and yet" 

    And 
    he 
    lost 
    the thread 

    and his mind 
    got 
    cluttered 

    And 
    the 
    words 
    just 
    rolled 
    off 

    down 
    in the gutter 

    Verse 4
    Well he was 
    elevator 
    man 

    in a 
    cheap 
    hotel 

    In ex
    change 
    for the 
    rent 

    on a one 
    room 
    cell 

    He's 
    old 
    in years 
    beyond 
    his time 

    Thanks 
    to the world, 
    and 
    the 
    white 
    Port 
    wine 

    So 
    Verse 5
    he says 
    "Son," 

    he always 
    called 
    me son 

    He said, 
    "Life 
    for you 
    has 
    just 
    begun" 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    me a story 

    that I 
    heard 
    before 

    How he 
    fell in 
    love 
    with 
    a Dal

    las 
    whore 

    Verse 6
    Well he could 
    cut 
    through the 

    years 
    to the 
    very 
    night 

    When 
    it ended, 
    in 
    a whore 
    house 
    fight 

    And 
    she turned 
    his 
    last 
    proposal 
    down 

    In favor 
    of being 
    girl 
    about 

    town 

    Verse 7
    Now it's been 
    seventeen 

    years 
    right 
    in line 

    And 
    he 
    ain't been 
    straight 

    none 
    of the 
    time 

    Too 
    many days 
    of fightin' 
    the weather 

    And too 
    many 
    nights 
    of 
    not 

    being 
    together 

    Interlude 1
    So 
    he died 



    Verse 8
    Well when 
    they went 
    through 

    his personal 
    affects 

    In 
    among 
    the stubs 
    from the welfare 

    checks 

    Was a crumblin' 
    picture 
    of 
    a girl 
    in 
    a door 

    An 
    address 
    in Dallas, 

    and nothin' 
    more 

    Verse 9
    The welfare 
    people 
    provided 

    the priest 

    A couple 
    from 
    the 
    mission 

    down 
    the street 

    Sang 
    Amazing 
    Grace, 
    and no one 
    cried 

    'Cept 
    some 
    woman in 
    black, 

    way 
    off 
    to the side 

    Verse 10
    We 
    all 
    left 
    and she was 
    standing 
    there 

    Black 
    veil 
    covering 
    her silver 
    hair 

    And 'ol 
    One-Eyed 
    John 
    John 

    said 
    her name 
    was Alice 

    And she 
    used 
    to be a 
    whore 
    in Dallas 

    Let him 
    Verse 11
    roar, 
    Lord 
    let him 
    roll 

    Bet he's 
    gone 
    to Dallas 

    Rest 
    his soul 

    Lord, let 
    him 
    roll, 
    Lord 
    let 
    him roar 

    He 
    always 
    said 
    that 
    heaven 

    Was 
    just 
    Dallas 

    whore.

      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 🙂

      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.
