  • Verse 1
    I was 
    just 
    23 when 
    Lorene 
    married 
    me 

    good 
    woman's 
    greatest 

    mistake 

    She was 
    carrying 
    my 
    child 
    but I was 

    too young 
    and 
    wild 

    For the 
    burdens 
    that 
    marriage 
    cre
    ates 

    Verse 2
    So 
    just 
    like 
    a coward 
    I looked 
    for 
    a way 
    out 

    went 
    where 
    the Slank 
    River 
    flows 

    left 
    her 
    a note 
    in
    side 
    of my 
    coat 

    And 
    quickly 
    walked 
    off 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    Verse 3
    Lorene 
    stood 
    and shivered 
    while 

    they dragged 
    the river 

    For the 
    body 
    that was 
    not 
    to 
    be found 

    watched 
    from 
    a hill 
    while 

    they had 
    my 
    funeral 

    From 
    there 
    could hear 

    every 
    sound 

    Verse 4
    There were 
    friends 
    and 
    relations 

    And they all 
    kept 
    saying 
    what 

    shame 
    it was 
    chose 
    to 
    die 

    But the 
    thing 
    that still 
    haunts 
    me 

    and 
    tears 
    at my 
    conscience 

    Is 
    the sound 
    Lorene 
    made 

    when she 
    cried 

    Verse 5
    Black 
    velvet 
    lace 
    covered 
    her 
    face 

    But her 
    grieving 
    was 
    too strong 
    to 
    hide 

    Yes, 
    the 
    thing 
    that still 
    haunts 
    me 

    and tears 
    at my 
    conscience 

    Is 
    the sound 
    Lorene 
    made 

    when she 
    cried 

    Verse 6
    After 
    two 
    years 
    of hiding 
    with my 

    shame 
    locked 
    inside 
    me 

    My 
    conscience 
    led 
    me 
    back 
    home 

    To a 
    small 
    country 
    graveyard 

    where a 
    plain 
    wooden 
    marker 

    Had 
    Lorene's name 
    carved 

    next 
    to my 
    own 

    Verse 7
    Now 
    stand 
    and shiver 
    at the 

    banks 
    of 
    the 
    river 

    Lorene 
    seems 
    to 
    beckon 
    to me 

    Death 
    like 
    an 
    old 
    friend 

    whispers 
    come on 
    in 

    And I'll 
    put 
    your 
    con
    science 
    to 
    sleep

    Verse 8
    Black 
    velvet 
    lace 
    covered 
    her 
    face 

    But her 
    grieving 
    was 
    too 
    strong 
    to 
    hide 

    Yes, 
    the 
    thing 
    that still 
    haunts 
    me 

    and 
    tears 
    at my 
    conscience 

    Is 
    the sound 
    Lorene 
    made 
    when 
    she cried 

    Verse 9
    As 
    go 
    under 
    the last 
    remember 

    Is 
    the sound 
    Lorene 
    made 

    when she 
    cried

    • 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.
