    Some of 
    my 
    friends 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    Je
    sus 

    Some 
    of my 
    friends 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    Jesus 

    Some 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    God 

    Some 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    God 

    He 
    wasn't dead 

    He's 
    just 
    on 
    a nod 

    He's 
    just on 
    nod 

    Louie 
    the 

    Hook 
    had 
    a hunger 

    Way 
    down 
    in 
    his 
    soul 

    He'd 
    hit 
    his destination 

    If 
    hell 
    had 
    been 
    his goal 

    He 
    bruises 
    and 
    he ulcers 

    In 
    places 
    you 
    can't 
    guess 

    It's 
    safe 
    to say 
    that he 
    made his 
    play 

    But 

    Louis 
    was 
    mess 

    Now 

    Louis 
    needed 
    money 

    In 
    very 
    desperate 
    way 

    He 
    felt 
    his hour 
    approaching 

    He 
    was 
    turnin' 
    very 
    gray 

    Went 
    down 
    the road 

    come a 
    preacher 

    Hustlin' 
    for 
    the 

    Lord 

    He 
    laid 
    his eyes 
    on 

    Louie 

    But 
    he 
    did not 
    speak 
    word 

    Preacher 
    looked 
    at 

    Louie 

    And 
    he 
    broke 
    out 
    in 
    grin 

    I'd 
    rightly 
    say 
    by your 
    shade 
    of gray, 
    baby 

    know 
    the fix 
    you're in 

    Louie 
    just 
    kept 
    -starin' 

    Think
    in' 
    he'd 
    hit 
    the mark 

    get 
    on your 
    wagon, 
    preacher, 

    you 
    just put 
    the 
    horse 
    before 
    the 
    cart 

    The 
    preacher's 
    eyes 
    grew 
    more, 

    and 
    he 
    shouted 
    to 
    the 

    Lord 

    Be
    fore 
    I'm 
    done, 
    he'll talk 
    in 
    tongues, 

    he shall 
    know 
    the 
    word 

    Upon 
    his 
    book 
    he pounded, 
    as 

    Louis 
    began 
    to sweat 

    If 
    life 
    is just 
    gamble, 

    he 
    thought 
    he'd 
    lost 
    the 
    bet 

    But 
    the 
    preacher 
    had 
    silken 
    suit 

    and 
    a new 
    hall 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    And 
    rocks 
    on 
    every 
    finger, 

    man, he 
    was cruel 
    and not 
    discreet 

    So 

    Louie 
    sized 
    the 
    preacher, 

    lookin' 
    deep 
    within 
    his 
    soul 

    The 
    way he 
    stepped, 

    reckon he 
    got 
    a thou
    sand 
    dollar 
    roll 

    The 
    preacher 
    raged, 
    the preacher 
    roared, 

    till 
    the 
    crowd 
    had 
    come 
    to stare 

    An

    Louie 
    the 

    Hook 
    get 
    religion 
    down 
    on 

    his knees 
    in prayer 

    When 
    up jumped 

    Louie 
    shaky, 
    crying, 

    have 
    seen 
    the 
    light 

    Preacher 

    Hugh's 
    chuckling, 

    you 
    know he 
    thought 
    he'd won 
    the 
    fight 

    But 

    Louie 
    quick 
    as 
    crystal 
    got 

    the 
    spirit 
    to 
    his 
    feet 

    He 
    passed 
    the hat, 
    he got 
    sixty 
    bucks, 

    and 
    he beat 
    it on 
    down 
    the 
    street 

    Now 
    story 
    needs 
    a moral, 

    as 
    song 
    must 
    have 
    an end 

    For 
    junkies 
    and 
    preachers, 

    man 
    don't 
    need 
    for friends 

    Life 
    is just 
    hustle, 

    you got 
    to 
    pay 
    for your 
    mistakes 

    But 
    if 

    Jesus 

    Christ 
    was 
    a preacher, 

    he got 
    the short 
    end 
    of 
    the 
    tape 

    Some 
    of 
    my 
    friends 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    Je
    sus 

    Some 
    of my 
    friends 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    Jesus 

    And 
    some got 
    down 
    to 

    God 

    Some 
    got 
    down 
    to 

    God 

    He 
    wasn't 
    dead, 
    baby 

    He's 
    just 
    on 
    the naught 

    He's 
    just 
    on 
    the 
    naught 

    don't know 
    the hell 

    I'm supposed 
    to do 
    here.

      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.
