Verse 1
D

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

D

See the groom's still waiting at the altar

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

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

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

  • 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.
