    • Verse 1
    Jack 
    and 
    Edie 
    ly
    ing 

    across 
    my 
    bed 

    Flying 
    high 
    like 
    the spirits 
    of 
    the 
    dead 

    The 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead, 

    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead 

    Verse 2

    Our 
    Lady 
    of 
    Sorrows 
    and 
    the 

    long 
    dark 
    night 

    How 
    many 
    candles 
    could 
    I 
    light 

    For 
    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead, 

    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead? 

    Verse 3
    What's 
    that 
    black 
    smoke 
    rising 
    Jack, 

    is 
    the 
    world 
    on 
    fire? 

    What's 
    that 
    distant 
    singing, 

    is 
    it 
    a 
    heavenly 
    choir? 

    Of 
    the 
    living 
    and 
    the dead, 

    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead 

    Verse 4

    I 
    think 
    about 
    you 
    Jack 

    watching 
    the 
    TV 

    And 
    drinking 
    booze, 
    shame 
    on 
    you, 

    shame 
    on 
    me 

    But 
    how 
    can 
    we 
    help 
    it 
    there 

    was 
    no 
    where 
    else 
    to 
    go 

    I 
    sent 
    Julie 
    and 
    Billy 
    out 

    on 
    that 
    long 
    hard 
    road 

    On 
    that 
    long 
    hard 
    road, 

    on 
    that 
    long 
    hard 
    road 

    Verse 5
    I'm 
    just 
    back 
    from 
    Mexico 
    city 

    I 
    came 
    back 
    north 
    to 
    Texas 

    to 
    rest 
    my 
    weary 
    head 

    My 
    true 
    love 
    is 
    fresh 
    from 

    the 
    battle 
    field 

    Sewing 
    up 
    the 
    dy
    ing 
    and 

    carting 
    off 
    the 
    dead 

    My 
    baby 
    don't 
    stand 
    no 
    fight
    ing 
    amongst 
    the 
    living 
    or 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    What's 
    that 
    black 
    smoke 
    rising 
    Jack, 

    is 
    the 
    world 
    on 
    fire? 

    What's 
    that 
    distant 
    singing, 

    is it a 
    heavenly 
    choir? 

    Of 
    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead, 

    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead 

    The 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead, 

    the 
    living 
    and 
    the 
    dead

      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.
