    Verse 1
    Prayed 
    in the 
    ghetto 

    With my 
    face 
    in the 
    cement 

    Heard the 
    last moan 
    of a 
    boxer 

    Seen 
    the massacre 
    of the 
    innocent 

    Felt 
    around 
    for the 
    light 
    switch 

    Turned 
    around 
    for her 
    face 

    And treated 
    like 
    a farm 
    animal 

    I know 
    a wild 
    goose 
    chase 

    West 
    of 
    the 
    Jordan, 

    east 
    of 
    the 
    Rock 
    of Gibral
    tar 

    I 
    see 
    the turn
    ing 
    of the page 

    Curtain 
    rising 
    on a new 
    age 

    See 
    the 
    groom's 
    still 
    waiting 
    at 
    the al
    tar 

    Try 
    to be pure 
    at 
    heart 

    They 
    arrest 
    you 
    for robbery 

    Mistake 
    your shyness 
    for 
    aloofness 

    Your 
    shyness 
    for 
    snobbery 

    Got the 
    message 
    this 
    morning 

    The one 
    that 
    was sent 
    to 
    me 

    About 
    the 
    madness 
    of becoming 

    What 
    one 
    was never 
    meant 
    to be 

    West 
    of 
    the 
    Jordan, 

    east 
    of 
    the 
    Rock 
    of Gibral
    tar 

    I 
    see the 
    turn
    ing 
    of the 
    page 

    Cur
    tain 
    rising on 
    a new 
    age 

    See the 
    groom's 
    still 
    waiting 

    at 
    the 
    altar 

    Don't know 
    what I 
    can say 

    about 
    Claudette 

    Wouldn't 
    come 
    back 
    to haunt 
    me 

    Finally 
    had to 
    give her 
    up 

    About 
    the time 
    she began 
    to 
    want 
    me 

    But I 
    know 
    God 
    has 
    mercy 

    On 
    them who are slandered 

    and humiliated 

    I'd have 
    done 
    anything 

    for 
    that 
    woman 

    If she'd 
    only make 
    me 
    feel 
    obligated 

    West 
    of 
    the 
    Jordan, 

    east 
    of 
    the 
    Rock 
    of

    the 
    groom's 
    still 
    waiting 
    at 
    the 
    altar 

    Put 
    your 
    hand 
    on my 
    head, 
    baby 

    Do I have 
    a temperature? 

    I 
    see people 
    who are supposed 

    to know 
    better 

    Standing' round 
    like 
    furniture 

    There's a 
    wall 
    between 
    you 

    What 
    you want 
    and 
    you've 

    got 
    to leap 
    it 

    Tonight 
    you've got 
    the 

    power 
    to take 
    it 

    Tomorrow 
    you 
    won't have 

    the power 
    to keep 
    it

    City's 
    on 
    fire 

    Phone's 
    out 
    of 
    order 

    They're 
    killing 
    nuns 
    and 
    soldiers 

    There's 
    fighting 
    on the 
    border 

    What 
    can I 
    say 
    about 
    Claudette? 

    Ain't seen 
    her 
    since 
    January 

    She 
    could be 
    respectably 
    married 

    Or running 
    a 
    whorehouse in 

    Buenos 
    Aires

    • 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.”
