    Skid 
    Row 
    Joe 

    Last 
    night 
    that's 
    who 
    I 
    found 

    in the 
    dirty 
    part 
    of 
    town 

    Lost 
    forgotten 
    with 
    no 
    place 
    to 
    go 

    Tormented 
    with a 
    bit
    ter 
    taste 
    out

    cast 
    by 
    the 
    human 
    race 

    A mask 
    of torture 
    was 
    the 

    face 
    of 
    Skid 
    Row 
    Joe 

    Verse 2

    He 
    walked 
    up 
    to 
    where I 
    stood 
    on the 
    street 

    Said, 
    "Pardon 
    me Mister 
    now 
    don't get 
    me wrong, 

    I don't 
    want 
    your money 

    Though 
    Heaven knows 
    I could use 
    it 

    But you 
    see 
    this 
    is my 
    home 
    and 
    you 

    see the 
    other 
    bar down 
    the 
    street 

    Well, 
    that's 
    my home 
    too 

    I noticed 
    you starin' 
    at 
    me a 
    while ago, 

    you recognized 
    me didn't 
    you?" 

    I said, 
    "Yeah 
    Joe, 
    I 
    know 
    who you are 

    You 
    was one 
    time 
    a real 
    famous 
    singing 

    star 
    one of 
    my favorites" 

    He said, 
    "Well 
    I guess 
    you 
    heard they 

    took 
    my ba
    bies 
    away from 
    me" 

    I 
    said, "Yeah 
    Joe, 
    I, 

    I read 
    about 
    it in 
    the papers" 

    Verse 3
    Then 
    he turned 
    his 
    head 
    away 
    and 

    I saw 
    the tears 
    fall 
    in 
    the place 

    And he 
    turned 
    to me 
    and he said, 

    "You know Mister 

    This 
    is the 
    only 
    place 
    in the 
    world 
    that 

    I'm not 
    ashamed 
    to show 
    my face 

    But I'm 
    gonna quit, 
    yes sir, 

    I'm gonna 
    quit 

    And 
    I'm gonna 
    shave 
    and comb 
    my 
    hair, 

    an
    d get 
    me a 
    clean 
    white 
    shirt 

    Then 
    I'm gonna 
    walk 
    up 
    to her door 

    When 
    she 
    answers 
    I'm gonna 

    stand 
    up 
    real 
    proud 
    and 
    tall 

    Then 
    I'm gonna 
    get 
    on 
    my knees 

    And I'll 
    say, 
    'sweetheart, 

    if 
    you'll take 
    me 
    back 

    I'll 
    spend 
    the rest 
    of my life 
    makin' 
    up 

    to 
    you 
    for 
    what I've 
    done 

    I'm so 
    ashamed 
    of myself 

    and this 
    I 
    want 
    you to 
    know' 

    Then 
    I'm gonna 
    take 
    my two 
    little 
    babies 

    and I'm 
    gonna hold 
    'em 
    so close 
    to me 

    I ain't 
    gonna 
    never 
    let 
    'em go" 

    I guess 
    I should've 
    told 
    him then 
    that 

    she'd 
    already 
    remarried 
    again 

    But after 
    hearin' 
    what 

    he'd said 
    to me 

    Why there 
    wasn't 
    no way 
    I 

    could add 
    to his 
    misery 

    So 
    I said 
    good 
    luck, 

    my 
    best 
    to you, 
    Skid 
    Row 
    Joe

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
