    Verse 1
    Slidin' 
    along 
    by 
    the Seine, 

    it's 
    May 
    Day, 
    this song's 
    in 
    my 
    head 
    once 
    again 

    It's 
    long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    Coughing 
    my lungs 
    up 
    on 
    rue des 

    Irlandais becoming 
    risk 
    to 
    myself 

    It's 
    long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    and 
    we're 
    racin' 

    The radio 
    silence 
    and the 
    anarchists 
    are 
    gathering 
    names, 

    dates 
    and 
    lists 
    for burnin' 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the bottom 

    that 
    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    Verse 2

    Oh, 
    how 
    you 
    move 
    me, 
    truly 

    Oh, 
    how 
    you 
    set 
    my 
    heart 

    aglow 

    Verse 3

    I'm shadowing 
    in 
    with 
    the crowds 
    unnoticed, 

    some
    body 
    painted 
    an 
    'X' on my 
    back 

    It's 
    long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    and 
    we're 
    racin' 

    There's piss 
    on 
    the streets 
    after 
    dark 
    in Paris, 

    even 
    our 
    dear 
    Joan 
    of 
    Arc, 
    she 
    knows 

    It's 
    a long 
    way down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    and 
    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    Verse 4
    Even 
    the Gods 
    as 
    they gaze 
    down 
    on 
    us 

    Know 
    that 
    there's 
    no 
    one to 
    be 
    saved 
    among 
    us, 

    they 
    keep 
    turning 
    away, 
    turning 
    away 

    We're singin' 
    along 
    with 

    the 
    righteous 
    people 

    The bul
    lets 
    will 
    rain 
    down 
    from 
    the mosques 
    and 
    steeples, 

    they keep 
    turning 
    away, 
    turning 
    away 

    Verse 5

    A taste 
    for 
    the 
    wine 
    and 
    a woman's 
    forgiveness, 

    her man's 
    in 
    decline, 
    oh, 
    it's 
    a nasty 
    busi
    ness 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    that 
    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    Our blood 
    is 
    no thicker 
    than 
    this 
    water, 
    my 
    brother

    you'll find 
    out 
    soon 
    one 
    way 
    or 
    the 
    other 

    It's 
    long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 
    that 
    we've 

    been 
    racin' 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 6
    Even 
    the clouds 
    that send 

    the rains 
    down 
    on 
    us 

    See 
    horizon 
    that 
    goes 
    way 
    beyond 
    us, 

    they 
    keep 
    driftin' 
    away, 
    driftin' 
    away 

    While 
    down 
    in 
    the 
    dark 
    in 

    the 
    tick-tock 
    alleys 

    alleys 

    Time's 
    running 
    out 
    and 

    there's still 
    bills 
    to tally 

    We keep 
    chippin' 
    away, 
    chippin' 
    away, 

    oh 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 7
    Slid
    in' 
    along 
    with 
    the 
    bouquinistes, Baldwin 

    and 
    Brecht 
    and 
    the 
    distance 
    between 
    us 

    It's 
    a long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the bottom 

    that 
    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    I'm 
    rising 
    up strong 
    like 
    a snake 
    that's 
    charmed, 

    handsome 
    Parisienne 
    on 
    my 
    arm 

    It's 
    long 
    way 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    bottom 

    that 
    we've 
    been 
    racin' 

    Outro 1
    Yeah

    • 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.
