I have an apology to make. I'm afraid

I've made a big mistake. I turned my face away from you, Lord.

Dm
I was too blind to see the light. I was too weak to feel Your might.
C

I closed my eyes; I couldn't see the truth, Lord.
Am
But then like Saul on the Damascus road,

you sent a messenger to me, and so...

I have had the truth revealed to me. Please forgive me all those things I said. I'll no longer betray you,

Lord. I will pray to you instead.

thank you God. Thank you, thank you, thank you God."
Thank you God for fixing the

Dm

I had no idea but it's suddenly so clear now. I feel
such a cynic. How could I have been so dumb?
F

Thank you for displaying how praying works: a particular prayer in a particular church.
D
G
C
Thank you Sam for the chance to acknowledge this omnipotent opthamologist.
G
Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum. I didn't realize that it was so simple,
C
but you've shown a great example of just how it can be done.
F
C
You only need to pray in a particular spot to a particular version of a particular god,
D
G
and if you pull that off without a hitch, he will fix one eye of one middle- class white bitch.

I know in the past my outlook has been limited. I couldn't see examples of where life had been definitive. But I can admit it when the evidence is clear,
D
G
as clear as Sam's mum's new cornea.
That's extremely clear!
Extremely clear!
C

Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum. I have to admit that in the past

I have been skeptical but Sam described this miracle and I am overcome!

How fitting that the sighting of a sight- based intervention should open my eyes to this exciting new dimension.
D

It's like someone put an eye chart on the wall in front of me and the top five letters say: I C G O D.
C
G
Thank you, Sam, for showing how my point of view has been so flawed. I assumed there was no God
C
at all but now I see that's cynical. It's simply that his interests aren't particularly broad.
F
Dm
C
D
He's largely undiverted by the starving masses, or the inequality between the various classes. He gives out strictly limited passes,
G
redeemable for surgery or two- for- one glasses.

Fuck me Sam, what are the odds that of history's endless parade of gods that the God you just happened to be taught to believe in is the actual one and he digs on healing,
F

but not the AIDS- ridden African nations, the victims of the plague or the flood- addled Asians, but healthy, privately- insured Australians with common and curable corneal degeneration?

This story of Sam's has but a single explanation: a surgical God who digs on magic operations. It couldn't be mistaken attribution of causation, born of a coincidental temporal correlation,

exacerbated by a general lack of education vis- a- vis physics in Sam's parish congregation. And it couldn't be that all these pious people are liars. It couldn't be an artifact of confirmation bias, a product of groupthink, a mass delusion, an Emperor's New Clothes- style fear of exclusion.

No, it's more likely to be an all- powerful magician than the misdiagnosis of the initial condition,

No, the only explanation for Sam's mum's seeing: they prayed to an all- knowing superbeing, to the omnipresent master of the universe,

So for a bit of a change from his usual stunt of being a sexist, racist, murderous cunt, he popped down to Dandenong and just like that,

used his powers to heal the cataracts of Sam's mum – of Sam's mum!

Thank you God for fixing the cataracts of Sam's mum! I didn't realize

Now I understand how prayer can work: a particular prayer in a particular church in a particular style with a particular stuff andforparticular problems that aren't particularly tough,

and for particular people, preferably white, for particular senses, preferably sight – a particular prayer in a particular spot, to a particular version of a particular god.

And if you get that right, He just might take a break from giving babies malaria

and pop down to your local area to fix the cataracts of your mum!

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.”
