    Verse 1
    It 
    was 

    Friday 
    night 
    in 
    Newmon
    town 

    And 
    the 
    birds 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    At 
    the 
    Red 
    Sands 
    Tav
    ern 
    we 
    all 
    sat 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    birds 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Did 
    it 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    On 
    wet 
    week
    end 
    in 
    that 
    old 
    sa
    loon 

    Did 
    the 
    words 
    cut 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    I didn't 
    see 
    him 
    at 
    first 

    when 
    he's 
    back 
    to 
    the 
    room 

    Did 
    the 
    words 
    cut 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Did 
    it 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Well 
    we 
    drank 
    and 
    told 
    tall 
    tales 
    of 
    sin 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    The 
    whole 
    bar 
    room 
    laughed 

    but 
    he'd 
    not 
    join 
    in 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    And 
    they 
    got 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 

    bone 

    When 
    the 
    hour 
    grows 
    late 

    well 
    it 
    won't 
    be 
    long 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Till 
    we're 
    singing 
    our 
    favorite 

    mur
    der
    ous 
    song 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    They 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Well 
    we 
    sang 
    it 
    loud 
    and 
    clear 
    by 
    choice 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    But 
    man 
    in 
    the 
    corner 

    never 
    raised 
    his 
    voice 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    They 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Well

    words 
    cut 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Well 
    he 
    lurched 
    that 
    way 

    and 
    he 
    asked 
    for

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone,

    bone, 

    did 
    they

    turn 
    it 
    around 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone,

    bone, 

    did 
    they 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 

    the 
    bone? 

    You'll 
    sing 
    of 
    Polly 
    with 

    her 
    brains 
    in 
    the 
    ditch 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    Oh, 
    break 
    your 
    jaw, 
    you 
    son 
    of 
    bitch 

    The 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    They 
    got 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone 





    willy 
    rose 
    up 
    with 
    blade 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    And 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    And 
    he 
    slashed 
    Jim's 
    throat 

    right 
    where 
    he 
    did 
    stand 

    And the 
    words 
    got 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone 

    They 
    got 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone 

    And 
    he 
    straddled 
    on 
    out 

    of 
    the 
    red 
    sandstorm 

    Do 
    the 
    birds 
    fly 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    As 
    we 
    watched 
    Jim's 
    live 
    blood 
    pool 

    on 
    the 
    floor 

    Do 
    the 
    birds 
    fly 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Do 
    they 
    cut 
    too 
    close 
    to 

    the 
    bone? 



    You 
    pretty 
    polly, 
    will 
    raise 
    glass 

    Do 
    the 
    words 
    cut 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    If 
    you 
    won't 
    drink 
    up, 
    well, 
    we 
    have 
    to 
    ask 

    Do 
    the 
    words 
    cut 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Do 
    they 
    come 
    too 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    If 
    you 
    won't 
    drink 
    up, 
    well, 
    we 
    have 
    to 
    ask 

    Do 
    the 
    words 
    come 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone, 

    to 
    the 
    bone? 

    Do 
    they 
    come 
    really 
    close 
    to 
    the 
    bone?

    • 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.
