    used 

    to 

    get 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    morning, 

    serve 
    six 
    'clock 
    mass 

    The 
    fear 
    of 
    the 

    Lord 
    did 
    abound 

    It 
    was 
    the 
    smell 
    of 
    the 
    incense, 

    the 
    sacrament 
    wine 

    Old 
    wo
    men 
    in 
    pews 
    with 

    their 
    head
    s bowed 
    down 

    And 
    hungover 
    priest 
    in 

    tattered 
    black 
    casket 

    Recit
    ing 
    the 

    Latin 
    so 
    old 

    He 
    said, 
    son, 
    you're 
    gonna 
    walk 

    on 
    your 
    knees 
    one 
    day 

    Down 
    the 
    long 
    miles 
    of 
    purgatory 
    road 

    Well 
    it 
    might 
    have 
    been 

    Susan, 
    it 
    might 
    have 
    been 

    Annie 

    She 
    wore 
    white 
    cotton 
    blouse 

    And 
    she memorized 
    modern 

    youth 
    and 
    chastity 

    Said 
    it's 
    mortal 
    sin 
    if 

    we kiss 
    on 
    the 
    mouth 

    If 
    we 
    died 
    in 
    car 
    wreck 

    on 
    our 
    way 
    home 

    We'd 
    be 
    damned 
    with 
    this 
    sin 
    on 
    our 
    soul 

    But 
    we 
    closed 
    our 
    eyes 
    and 
    sealed 
    our 
    fate 

    In 
    the 
    wet 
    grass 
    of 

    Purgatory 

    Road 

    Some
    where 
    between 

    sundown 
    and 
    midnight 

    We 
    made 
    our 
    first 
    wish 
    on 
    star 

    That 
    all 
    of 
    our 
    sins 
    would 
    vanish 
    behind 

    That 

    Chevrolet 
    getaway 
    car 

    Some
    where 
    between 

    heaven 
    and 
    heartache 

    Out 
    where 
    the 
    buses 
    don't 
    roll 

    We 
    lay 
    down 
    in 
    the wild 
    asparagus 

    That 
    grew 
    along 

    Pur
    gatory 

    Road 



    Well, 

    Susan, 
    or 

    Annie, 
    had 
    vision 
    one 
    night 

    With 
    the 
    sign 
    of 
    the 

    cross 
    she 
    was 
    gone 

    And 
    the 
    old 
    wisdom 
    priest, 

    he 
    died 
    of 
    old 
    age 

    But 
    the 
    church 
    rattled 
    and 
    clattered 
    and 

    rolled 
    blop 
    on 

    As 
    we 
    ran 
    and 
    we 
    wrestled 
    with 
    the 
    fear 
    of 

    our 

    Lord 

    But 
    the 
    guilt 
    and 
    desire 

    took 
    their 
    hold

    From 
    when 
    the 
    sins 
    of 
    the 

    flesh 
    were 
    whisper 
    away 

    In 
    the 
    wet 
    grass 
    of 

    purgatory 
    roamed 

    Some
    where 
    between 

    sundown 
    and 
    midnight 

    We 
    made 
    our 
    first 
    wish 
    on 
    star 

    That 
    all 
    of 
    our 
    sins 
    would 
    vanish 
    behind 

    That 

    Chevrolet 
    getaway 
    car 

    Somewhere 
    between 

    heaven 
    and 
    heartache 

    Out 
    where 
    the 
    buses 
    don't 
    roll 

    We 
    lay 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    wild 
    asparagus 

    That 
    grew 
    along 

    Pur
    gatory 

    Road 

    We 
    lay 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    wild 
    asparagus 

    That 
    grew 
    along 

    Pur
    gatory 

    Road

      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

      "

      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.
