  • Verse 1
    This 
    one's 
    for the 
    shoeshine boy 

    and the farmer 
    in 
    debt 

    Each 
    string 
    is 
    barbed 
    wire, 

    each 
    chord 
    is a threat 

    This 
    blues 
    guy 
    I met 
    that 
    never 
    had 
    a hit 

    Said, 
    ?You don't 
    got
    ta 
    be loud, 

    son, 
    to be 
    heavy 
    as shit? 

    Verse 2
    Well, 
    I'm the 
    triggerman, baby, 

    tonight 
    I'll 
    prove 

    That 
    this 
    machine 
    here, 

    well, 
    it kills 
    fascists 
    too 

    And 
    don't 
    be 
    surprised 
    if 

    the 'Sermon 
    on 
    the 
    Mount' 

    The next 
    time 
    is delivered 
    in a 

    little 
    coffee 
    house 

    'Cause 
    somebody 
    Verse 3
    here's 

    gotta 
    let 
    them know 

    doubt 
    it's 
    me 
    but 
    here 
    go 

    hit 
    the 
    button, 
    tape 
    started 
    to 
    roll 

    Yeah, 
    the song's 
    got 
    fire, 

    it's 
    got 
    no 
    soul 

    Verse 4
    There's 
    lonely 
    stretch 
    of 

    blacktop between 
    here 
    an
    d home 

    Drop 
    down 
    in
    to 
    the 
    val
    ley, 

    piano 
    playin' 
    in 
    the 
    living 
    room 

    When 
    you 
    see 
    the 
    white 
    barn 
    you'll 

    know 
    the journey's 
    through 

    My 
    dog's 
    barking 
    in 
    the back
    seat 
    'cause 

    Interlude 1
    he 
    knows 
    it 
    too 



    Verse 5
    You'll 
    need 
    a fake 
    passport 

    and 
    fix 
    your 
    disguise 

    And 
    don't 
    fire, 
    sugar, 

    'til 
    you see 
    the 
    whites 
    of their 
    eyes 

    turned 
    the 
    other 
    cheek 
    but 

    now 
    I'm 
    through 

    The skin 
    you're 
    in 
    makes 

    choices 
    for 
    you 

    Verse 6
    I was 
    checking 
    off 
    names 
    and 

    I came 
    late 
    to dinner 

    Seems 
    the slices 
    of 
    pie 
    keep 
    getting 

    thinner 
    and 
    thinner 

    Brothers 
    and sisters, 

    rejoice 
    and repent 

    The land
    lord's 
    dead, 

    you 
    can 
    keep 
    the 
    rent 

    Verse 7
    You 
    got 
    twelve 
    fine 
    friends 
    but 

    one 
    of 'em's 
    rotten 

    There's 
    a hole 
    out 
    back, 

    ain't 
    got 
    no 
    bottom 

    Forty 
    days 
    in 
    the wilderness, 

    forty 
    sleepless 
    nights 

    I'm 
    con
    fused, 

    half 
    blind 
    and sure 
    I'm 
    right 

    Verse 8
    There's 
    a lonely 
    stretch 
    of 

    blacktop between 
    here 
    and 
    home 

    Drop 
    down 
    in
    to 
    the 
    valley, 

    piano 
    playin' 
    in 
    the 
    living 
    room 

    When 
    you 
    see 
    the white 
    barn 
    you'll 

    know 
    the journey's 
    through 

    My 
    dog's 
    barking 
    in 
    the back
    seat 
    'cause 

    he 
    knows 
    it 
    too 

    Verse 9

    Of
    ficer, 
    please, 
    won't 
    be 
    long 

    Called 
    the 
    radio 
    station, 

    requested 
    this 
    song 

    Now 
    had 
    my 
    doubts 
    about 
    what 
    I knew 

    So 
    turned 
    it 
    up 
    and 
    then 

    it 
    sounded 
    true 

    Verse 10
    Kiss 
    the 
    ring 
    if the 
    Queen 
    will 
    let 
    you 

    But come 
    over 
    the fence 

    and the 
    dogs 
    will 
    get 
    you 

    On 
    a rope 
    hung 
    the 
    traitor, 

    on a 
    hook 
    hung 
    the 
    meat 

    You 
    and 
    me 
    are missing 
    persons 
    'til 

    we're 
    counted 
    in 
    the streets 

    Verse 11
    So 
    seize 
    the 
    time 
    and storm 

    the tower 

    And come 
    correct 
    with 

    maximum 
    firepower 

    For the 
    sins 
    of 
    the father, 

    the son, 
    he must 
    pay 

    The 
    Nightwatchman giveth 

    and 
    he 
    taketh 
    away 

    Verse 12
    Thought 
    hard 
    about 
    this 
    next 
    line, 

    pretty 
    sure 
    it's 
    true 

    If 
    you 
    take 
    a step 
    towards 
    freedom 
    it'll 

    take 
    two 
    steps 
    towards 
    you 

    So, mis
    ter, 
    I ain't 
    scared 
    and, 

    mister, 
    ain't 
    worried 

    'Cause 
    on 
    that 
    lonely 
    stretch 
    of 

    blacktop I sit 
    as 
    judge 
    and jury 

    Verse 13
    There's 
    a lonely 
    stretch 
    of 

    blacktop between 
    here 
    and 
    home 

    Drop 
    down 
    in
    to 
    the val
    ley, 

    piano 
    playin' 
    in

    When 
    you

    the journey's 
    through

    Interlude 2

    • 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.
