the confession chords by 
Phil Ochs
N/A•
Verse 1
Am
Dm
G
There's nothing as cold as the freeze in your soul
Am
G
Am
at the moment when you are arrested.
G
There's nothing as real as the iron and steel
Am
G
Am
on the handcuffs when you protested.
C
E
You raced through the night in the prison of fright
Am
G
as you head for the quicksand of questions.
Am
G
And children unborn will see you in scorn
Am
G
Am
If ever you make a confession.
G
And the click of the lock is a shiver of shock
Am
As you wonder what are their objectives.
G
Up on your guard, for the voices are hard
Am
G
Am
That belong to the cops and detectives.
C
And it's hard to believe,
Em
as they roll up their sleeves
Am
G
That you're in for more than a session
Am
And it couldn't be true,
G
and it's not really you
Am
G
Am
That they want to make a confession
G
You cannot conceal the confusion you feel
Am
G
Am
As they steadily work to outguess you
D
And some will pretend they are really your friend,
G
Am
G
Am
who rally around to your rescue.
C
With frightening force,
E
Am
G
your mind is divorced to give them the guilty impression.
Am
Every word that you hear is a weapon of
G
Am
G
Am
fear to win the war of confession.
G
The lights shoot a glare like bullets they stare
Am
G
Am
and burn at the base of conviction.
And you squint and you blink and you try not
G
Am
C
G
Am
to think of the cobwebs of contradictions.
C
E
And your clothes will be wet with rivers of
Am
G
sweat that tells the tale of the tension.
Am
And once in a while
Dm
the clock has to smile
G
Am
G
Am
As it counts the time of confession
The questions will rain
D
and pour on your brain
G
Am
With the proper speed
G
Am
they are driven
The circles they pace and the
G
sneers on their face
Am
G
Am
Tells you no quarter is given
C
You can salvage your mind
Em
when the paper is
E
Em
Am
And the crime is
G
solved by oppression,
Am
But win, lose, or draw,
D
G
it's the rule of the law
Am
G
Am
To always work for confession.
And the balance of scale
G
seems distant and pale
Am
G
Am
In the shadowy days of the trial,
And sometimes they die with
G
their name on a lie
Am
G
Am
When it's all too late for denial.
C
When agreement is full,
E
the switch must be pulled
Am
And the chair leaves no
G
hope for correction
Am
But the chances are large
G
he was guilty as charged
Am
G
Am
After all, he made a confession

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.”
