    Verse 1
    I was 
    just 
    thirty-four 
    years 
    years 
    old 

    and 
    I was 
    still 
    wandering 
    in a 
    haze 

    I was 
    wondering 
    why 
    everyone 
    I met 

    seemed 
    like 
    they 
    were lost 
    in 
    a 
    maze 

    I don't 
    know why 
    I 
    thought 
    I 
    should 
    have 

    some 
    kind 
    of 
    divine 
    right 
    to 
    the blues 

    It's 
    sympathy 
    not 
    tears 
    people 
    need 

    when they're 
    the front 
    page, 
    sad 
    news 

    The 
    incense 
    burned 
    Verse 2
    away 

    and the stench 
    began 
    to 
    rise 

    And 
    lovers 
    now 
    estranged 
    avoided 

    catching 
    each 
    others' 
    eyes 

    And 
    girls 
    who 
    lost 
    Verse 3
    their 
    chil
    dren 

    cursed 
    the 
    men 
    who 
    fit 
    the coil 

    And 
    men 
    not 
    fit 
    for 
    mar
    riage 

    took 
    their 
    refuge 
    in 
    the 
    oil 

    No 
    one 
    respects 
    the flame 
    quite 
    like 

    the 
    fool 
    who's 
    badly 
    burned 

    From 
    all 
    this 
    you'd 
    ima
    gine 
    that 
    there 

    must 
    be something 
    learned 

    Verse 4

    Slit 
    skirts 

    Jeanie 
    never 
    wears 
    those 
    slit 
    skirts 

    I 
    don't 
    ever 
    wear 
    no 
    ripped 
    shirts 

    Can't 
    pretend 
    that 
    growing 

    older 
    never 
    hurts 

    Verse 5
    Knee 
    pants 

    Jeanie 
    never 
    wears 
    no 
    knee 
    pants 

    Have 
    to 
    be 
    so 
    drunk 
    to 
    try 
    a 
    new 
    dance 

    So 
    afraid 
    of 
    every 
    new 
    romance 

    Verse 6
    Slit 
    skirts, 
    slit 
    skirt 

    Jeanie 
    isn't 
    wearing 
    those 
    slit 
    skirts, 

    slit 
    skirt 

    She 
    wouldn't 
    dare 
    in 
    those 
    slit 
    skirts, 

    slit 
    skirt 

    Wouldn't 
    be seen 
    dead 
    in 
    no 
    slit 
    skirt 

    Verse 7
    Ro
    mance, 
    romance 

    Why 
    aren't 
    we 
    thinking 
    up 
    romance? 

    Why 
    can't 
    we 
    drink 
    it 
    up 

    true 
    heart 
    romance 

    Just 
    need 
    a 
    brief 
    new 
    romance 

    Verse 8
    Let 
    me tell 
    you some 
    more 
    about 
    myself, 

    you 
    know I'm 
    sitting 
    at 
    home 
    just 
    now 

    The 
    big 
    events 
    of 
    the day 
    are 
    passed 
    and the 

    late 
    TV 
    shows 
    have 
    come 
    around 

    I'm 
    number 
    one 
    in the 
    home 

    team 
    but 
    I still 
    feel 
    unfulfilled 

    A si
    lent 
    voice 
    in her 
    broken 
    heart 

    complaining 
    that 
    I'm 
    unskilled 

    Verse 9
    And I 
    know 
    that 
    when 
    she 
    thinks 
    of 
    me, 

    she 
    thinks 
    of 
    me 
    as 
    "him" 

    But, 
    unlike 
    me, 
    she 
    don't 
    work 
    off 

    her 
    frustra
    tion 
    in 
    the gym 

    Verse 10
    Re
    criminations 
    fester 
    and the 

    past 
    can 
    never 
    change 

    A wo
    man's 
    expecta
    tions 
    run 

    from 
    both 
    ends 
    of 
    the range 

    Once 
    she 
    woke 
    with 
    untamed 
    lovers' 

    face 
    between 
    her 
    leg
    s 

    Now 
    he's 
    cooled 
    and 
    stifled 
    and it's 

    she 
    who 
    has 
    to 
    beg 

    Verse 11

    Slit 
    skirts 

    Jeanie 
    never 
    wears 
    those 
    slit 
    skirts 

    And 
    I 
    don't 
    ever 
    wear 
    no 
    ripped 
    shirts 

    Can't 
    pretend 
    that 
    growing 

    older 
    never 
    hurts 

    Verse 12
    Knee 
    pants 

    Jeanie 
    never 
    wears 
    no 
    knee 
    pants 

    We 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    so drunk 
    to try 
    a 
    new 
    dance 

    So 
    afraid 
    of 
    every 
    new

    mance

    Slit 
    skirts,

    Jeanie 
    isn't

    wouldn't 
    dare

      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.

      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 🙂

      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.
