Stepchild,

you have outlived your time

You represent embarrassment

And his might is his legal right

To ground you down

The way he chews his food

Rips right through your senses
C
Bb

Stepchild, there's a knife in
F

a drawer in a room downstairs
Dm
C

And you, you know what
Bb
A

you must do
E

So the stepchild ran with a
A

knife to his sleeping frame
D

And slams it in his arms, his legs,

his face, his neck and says
Am

There's a law against me now

beseech you

Why are lives so short?

The stepchild thought half

pointing to the sky

No one to warn me

No hand to touch me
Am

And no Bible- belters to mess with me
E

Mama don't miss me

Mama don't miss me
A

This death will complete me
D

"But where I go there will

be no one to meet me
Am

I know there will be no one to meet me"
E

But still the step- child press

the knife to her throat
A

Half pointing to the sky
Am
D

Just as mother- less birds fly high
D
E

Then so shall I
A

So shall I
A
D

So shall I

So shall I

  • 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.
