    Verse 1
    I knew 
    you 
    well, 

    know 
    you 
    best 

    A baby 
    mouth, 
    denied 
    the breast 

    A lazy 
    bone, 
    an 
    eagle 
    eye 

    Circling 
    the city 
    higher 
    than 
    the sky 

    And 
    it's 
    looking 
    like 
    you 

    better 
    do 
    what 
    they say 

    Those 
    monkeys 
    uptown, 

    they told 
    you 
    not 
    to fuck 
    around 

    Heaven's 
    name 
    and 

    the 
    river 
    is 
    brown 

    With 
    all 
    the mud 
    and 
    the rain 

    It 
    never 
    settles 
    down 

    It 
    never 
    settles 
    down 

    Verse 2

    Your 
    baby 
    left 
    you 
    unim
    pressed 

    But no 
    one 
    likes 
    a beggar 

    slightly 
    overdressed 

    And 
    trouble 
    comes 
    in 
    funky 
    clothes 

    You 
    can 
    always 
    find 

    razor 
    lying 
    in 
    the 
    road 

    And 
    it's 
    look
    ing 
    like 
    you 

    better 
    do 
    what 
    they say 

    Those 
    monkeys 
    uptown, 

    they told 
    you 
    not 
    to fuck 
    around 

    Heaven's 
    name 
    and 

    the 
    river 
    is 
    brown 

    With 
    all 
    the mud 
    and 
    the 
    rain 

    It 
    never 
    settles 
    down 

    Interlude 1
    It never 
    settles 
    down 






    Verse 3
    I knew 

    you 
    well, 

    know 
    you 
    best 

    Every
    body 
    owes 
    something 

    to 
    everybody 
    else 

    Gabriel 
    gave 
    me 
    some 

    news 
    to 
    give 
    to you 

    Never 
    take 
    him 
    for granted, 

    you've 
    nothing 
    better 
    to do 

    And 
    it's 
    look
    ing 
    like 
    you 

    better 
    do 
    what 
    they say 

    Those 
    monkeys 
    uptown, 

    they told 
    you not 
    to fuck 
    around 

    Heaven's 
    name 
    and 
    the 
    river 
    is 
    brown 

    With 
    all 
    the mud 
    and 
    the 
    rain 

    It 
    never 
    settles 
    down 

    Outro 1
    It 
    never 
    settles 
    down

    • 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.
