  • Verse 1
    went 
    out 
    walking 
    the 
    other 
    day 

    The heat 
    hung 
    wet around 
    my 
    neck 

    My 
    head it 
    rung 
    with screams 
    and 
    groans 

    From 
    the night 
    I spent 
    amongst 

    her 
    bones 

    And I passed 
    beside 

    the mission 
    house 

    Where that 
    mad 
    old 
    buzzard, 

    the reverend 

    Shrieked 
    and 
    flapped 
    about 

    life 
    after 
    you're 
    dead 

    Well, 
    I thought 
    about 
    my 
    friend, 

    Michel 

    How they 
    rolled 
    him 
    in 
    linoleum 

    And they shot 
    him in 
    the neck 

    bloody 
    halo, 
    like 
    a think-bubble 

    Circling 
    Circling 
    his head 

    And 
    I bellowed 
    at the 
    firmament 

    Looks 
    like the 
    rains 
    are 
    hear 
    to stay 

    And the 
    rain 
    pissed 
    down 
    upon 
    me 

    And 
    washed 
    me 
    all 
    away 

    Saying 

    Verse 2
    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Well, the 
    road 
    is 
    long 

    And 
    the road 
    is 
    hard 

    And 
    many 
    fall by 
    the side 

    But 
    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    So there 
    ain't 
    no 
    need 
    to cry 

    Verse 3
    And 
    I went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    Oh yeah, 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    Verse 4
    Well, the 
    moon 
    it looked 
    exhausted 

    Like something 
    you should 
    pity 

    Spent 
    an age-spotted 

    Above 
    Above 
    the sizzling 
    wires 

    of 
    the city 

    Well, it reminded 
    me 
    of her 
    face 

    Her 
    bleached 
    and 
    hungry 
    eyes 

    Her 
    hair 
    was like 
    a curtain 

    Falling 
    open 
    with the 
    laughter 

    And closing 
    with the 
    lies 

    And the ghost 
    of her 
    still 

    lingers 
    on 

    Though she's 
    passed 
    through 
    me 

    An
    d is 
    gone 

    Well 
    the 
    slum 
    dogs, 
    they 
    are bark
    ing 

    The 
    rain 
    children 
    on the 
    streets 

    And the tears 
    that we 
    will 
    weep 
    today 

    Will 
    all 
    be 
    washed 
    away 

    By the 
    tears 
    that we 
    will 
    weep 

    Will 
    weep 
    again 
    tomor
    row 

    Verse 5
    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    For the road 
    is 
    long 

    And the 
    road 
    is 
    hard 

    And 
    many 
    fall 
    by 
    the side 

    Well, 
    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, 
    Henry 

    So there 
    ain't 
    no 
    need 
    to cry 

    Verse 6
    And 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    Oh 
    yeah, 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    Interlude 1
    He went 
    on down 
    the 
    road 


    Verse 7
    And I 
    came 
    upon 
    little 
    house 

    A little 
    house 
    upon 
    hill 

    And I 
    entered 
    through, 

    and the curtain 
    hissed 

    Into 
    the house 
    with its 

    blood-red 
    bowels 

    bowels 

    Where 
    wet-lipped 
    women 
    women 

    with greasy 
    fists 

    Crawled 
    the ceilings 
    and the 
    walls 

    They filled 
    me 
    full of 
    drink 

    And 
    they 
    led 
    me round 
    the 
    rooms 

    Naked 
    and cold 
    and grinning 

    Until 
    everything 
    went 
    black 

    And I 
    came 
    down 
    spinning 

    I awoke 
    so 
    drunk 
    and 
    full of 
    rage 

    That 
    I could 
    hardly 
    speak 

    A fag 
    in a whale-bone 
    corset 

    corset 

    Draping 
    his 
    dick 
    across 
    my 
    cheek 

    Well its 
    into 
    the shame 

    And its 
    into the 
    guilt 

    And its 
    into 
    the fucking 

    fray 

    And the walls 
    ran 
    red 
    around 
    me 

    A warm 
    arterial 
    spray 

    Saying 

    Verse 8
    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Well, the 
    night 
    is 
    dark 

    And 
    the night 
    is 
    deep 

    And 
    its jaws 
    are 
    open 
    wide 

    Yeah, 
    well 
    Papa 
    won't 

    leave 
    you, Henry 

    So there 
    ain't 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    cry 

    Verse 9
    And 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    Oh yeah, 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    Verse 10
    Yeah, 
    woah, 
    woah 


    It's 
    the rainy 
    sea
    son 
    where 
    I'm 
    living 

    Death 
    comes 
    leaping 
    out 

    of every 
    doorway 

    Wasting 
    you for 
    money, 
    for your 
    clothes 

    And 
    for your 
    noth
    ing 

    Entire 
    towns 
    being 
    washed 
    away 

    Favelas exploding 
    on inflammable 

    spillways 

    Lynch-mobs, 
    death 
    death 
    squads, 

    babies 
    being 
    born 
    without 
    brains 

    The mad 
    heat 
    and 
    the relentless 
    rains 

    Well 
    if you stick 
    your arm 
    into 
    that 
    hole 

    It 
    comes 
    out 
    shit 
    up to 
    the bone 

    And with 
    her kisses 
    bub
    bling 
    on my 
    lips 

    I swiped 
    the rain 
    and 
    nearly 
    missed 

    And 
    then 
    I went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He went 
    on 
    down that 
    road 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 
    Verse 11

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Henry 

    Papa 
    won't 
    leave 
    you, Boy 

    Well, the 
    road 
    is 
    long 

    And the road 
    is 
    hard 

    And 
    many 
    fall 
    by 
    the side 

    Well, 
    Papa 
    won't leave 
    you, Henry 

    So 
    there 
    ain't 
    no 
    need 
    to 
    cry 

    Verse 12
    And 
    went 
    on down 
    the road 

    He 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    Oh 
    yeah, 
    went 
    on 
    down 
    the road 

    He went on 
    down 
    the 
    road 

    Bent 
    be
    neath 
    my 
    heavy 
    load 

    Under 
    his heavy 
    load 

    Yeah, 
    I went 
    on 
    down 
    that 
    road 

    Yeah, 
    he went 
    on down 
    the road 

    Verse 13
    Woah, 
    woah 
    Woah,

    • 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.
