  • Verse 1
    I thought 
    I'd take 
    a walk 
    today 

    It's 
    a mistake 
    sometimes 
    make 

    My kids 
    lay asleep 
    in 
    bed 

    My wife 
    lay 
    wide-awake 

    kissed 
    her softly 
    on the brow 

    I tried 
    not to 
    make 
    a sound 

    But with 
    stony 
    eyes 
    she 
    looked at me 

    And 
    gently 
    squeezed 
    my 
    hand 

    Call it 
    a premonition, 

    call it 
    a crazy 
    vision 

    Call it 
    intuition, 
    something 
    learned 

    from 
    mother 

    But when she 
    looked up 
    at me, 

    could 
    clearly 
    see 

    The sword 
    of 
    Damocles 

    hanging 
    directly 
    above 
    her 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    my 
    lord 

    Oh 
    lord 

    How 
    have I 
    offended 
    thee? 

    Wrap 
    your 
    tender 
    arm
    around 
    me 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    lord 

    Oh 
    my 
    lord 

    Verse 2
    They called 
    at me 
    through the 

    fence 

    They were not 
    making 
    any 
    sense 

    They claimed 
    that 
    I had lost 
    the plot 

    Kept 
    saying 
    that I 
    was 
    not 

    The man 
    used 
    to be 

    They 
    held 
    their 
    babes 
    aloft 

    Threw 
    marshmallows 
    at the 
    security 

    And said 
    that 
    I'd 
    grown 
    soft 

    Call 
    it intuition, 

    call it 
    a creeping 
    suspicion, 

    But 
    their 
    words 
    of 
    derision 
    meant 

    they 
    hardly 
    knew 
    me 

    For 
    even 
    I could 
    see 
    in 
    the 

    way they 
    stared 
    at me 

    The spear 
    of 
    destiny 

    sticking 
    right 
    through me 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    my 
    lord 

    Oh 
    lord 

    How 
    have 
    offended 
    thee? 

    Wrap 
    your 
    tender 
    arms 
    round 
    me 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    lord 

    Oh 
    my 

    lord 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Now I'm 
    at the 
    hairdressers 

    People 
    watch me 
    as they 
    move 
    past 

    guy 
    wearing 
    plastic 
    antlers 

    Presses 
    his 
    bum 
    against 
    the 
    glass 

    Now I'm 
    down 
    on my 
    hands 
    and knees 

    And it's 
    so 
    fucking 
    hot! 

    Someone 
    cries, 

    "What are you 
    looking 
    for?" 

    I scream, 
    "The plot, 
    the 
    plot!" 

    grab 
    my 
    telephone, 

    call 
    my 
    wife 
    at 
    home 

    She 
    screams, 
    "Leave 
    us 
    alone!" 
    say, 

    "Hey, 
    it's 
    only 
    me" 

    The hairdresser 
    with 
    his scissors, 

    he 
    holds 
    up 
    the 
    mirror 

    look 
    back 
    and shiver, 

    can't 
    even believe 
    what 
    I can 
    see 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 4
    Be 
    mindful 
    of the 
    prayers 
    you send 

    Pray 
    hard 
    but 
    pray 
    with 
    care 

    For the tears 
    that you are 
    crying 
    now 

    Are just 
    your 
    answered 
    prayers 

    The ladders 
    of 
    life that 
    we scale 
    merrily 

    Move 
    mysteriously 
    around 

    So 
    that when 
    you think 

    you're climbing 
    up, 
    man 

    In fact 
    you're 
    climbing 
    down 

    Into 
    the 
    hollows 
    of 
    glam
    our, 

    where 
    with spike 
    and 
    hammer 

    With 
    telescopic 
    camera, 

    they 
    chose 
    to 
    turn 
    the 
    screw 

    Oh I 
    hate 
    them, 
    ma! 

    Oh 
    I hate 
    them, 
    pa! 

    Oh 
    hate 
    them 
    all 
    for 
    what 
    they 

    went 
    and done 
    to you 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    my 
    lord 

    Oh 
    lord 

    How 
    have 
    offended 
    thee? 

    Wrap 
    your 
    tender 
    arms 
    'round 
    me 

    Oh 
    lord, 
    oh 
    lord 

    Oh 
    my 
    lord

    • 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.
