    Verse 1
    Mind 
    your step 
    as 
    you make 

    your 
    way 

    Through 
    the church 
    in 
    to 
    this 

    world 
    of 
    sand 

    Picture 
    an 
    angle 
    with 
    a ci

    garette 
    burnin' 

    With 
    a 
    long 
    slow 
    drag 

    She 
    welcomes 
    you 
    in 
    where 

    you'll 
    be 

    Dancing 
    in 
    the 
    low 
    light 

    Sweat 
    dripping 
    down 
    like 
    a dew 

    Scratchin' 
    metal 
    and 

    a cry 
    and 
    moan 

    Riding 
    in 
    a bottle 
    in the 
    back 
    of 
    a 
    room 

    Verse 2
    Fire, 
    fire 
    from 
    the 
    inside 

    Rhythm, 
    like 
    a 
    hurricane 
    rain 

    Mer
    cy, 
    comes 
    after 
    midnight 

    While 
    you're 
    washing 
    me 
    down 
    with 
    the sound 

    of 
    your 
    Na
    tional 
    Steel 

    Verse 3

    Took 
    its 
    smile 
    on 
    a wild 
    rose 

    Born 
    in 
    the 
    heat 
    of 
    the 
    south 

    Your 
    kisses 
    they 
    went 
    to 
    my 

    head 
    like 
    a whiskey 

    She 
    was 
    a 
    bootlegged love 
    with 

    her stockings 
    rolled 
    down 

    People 
    cried 
    to 
    cry 
    as a 

    wolf 
    starts 
    to 
    howl, 

    Howled 
    like 
    a midnight 
    train 

    Roll 
    on, 
    roll 
    on, 
    rolled 
    like 
    a 
    river 

    A shot 
    of burning 
    silver 
    pounding 

    Verse 4
    through 
    my 
    feet 
    like 
    fire 

    Fire, 
    fire 
    from 
    the 
    inside 

    Rhyth
    m 
    like 
    a 
    hurricane 
    rain 

    Mer
    cy, 
    comes 
    after 
    midnight 

    While 
    you're washing 
    me 
    down 
    with 
    the sound 
    of your 

    Interlude 1

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
