The Original Wrapper chords by 
Lou Reed 
N/A•
Key: E minor•BPM: 125
Verse 1
Em
I was sittin' home on
the west end
Watchin' cable tv with a female friend
We were watchin' the news,
the world's in a mess
The poor and the hungry,
a world in distress
Herpes, aids,
the middle east at full throttle
Better check that sausage,
before you put it in the waffle
And while you're at it,
check what's in the batter
Make sure that candy's
Verse 2
in the original wrapper
Em
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter
Make sure that candy's in
Verse 3
Em
Reagan says abortion's murder
While he's looking at cardinal o'connor
Look at jerry falwell louis farrakhan
Both talk religion and
the brotherhood of man
They both sound like
they belong in teheran
Watch out, they're goin' full throttle
Better check that sausage,
before you stick it in the waffle
And while you're at it better
check, what's in the batter
Make sure that candy's
in the original wrapper
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter
Verse 5
Em
White against white, black against jew
It seems like it's 1942
The baby sits in front of mtv
Watching violent fantasies
While dad guzzles beer
with his favorite sport
Only to find his heroes are all coked up
Classic, original, the same old story
The politics of hate in a new surrounding
Hate if it's good and hate if it's bad
And if this all don't make you mad
I'll keep yours and I'll keep mine
Nothing sacred and nothing divine
Father, bless me, we're at full throttle
Better check that sausage,
before you put it in the waffle
And while you're at it better
check that batter
Make sure the candy's
in the original wrapper
Verse 6
Em
Hey, pitcher, better check that batter Make
sure that candy's in
Verse 7
Em
I was born in the united states
And I grew up hard but I grew up straight
I saw a lack of morals and
a lack of concern
A feeling that there's nowhere
to turn
Yippies, hippies and upwardly
mobile yuppies
Don't treat me like I'm some
dumb lackey
'cause the murderer lives
while the victims die
I'd much rather see it an eye for an eye
A heart for a heart, a brain for a brain
And if this all makes you feel a little insane
Kick up your heels, turn the music up loud
Pick up your guitar and look out at the crowd,
and say, -
- "don't mean to come
on sanctimonious
But life's got me nervous and
little pugnacious
Lugubrious so I give a salutation
And rock on out to beat
really stupid
Ohh, poop, ah, doo and how do you do
Hip hop gonna bop till I drop."
Watch out world,
comin' at you full throttle
Better check that sausage,
before you put it in the waffle
And while you're at it better
check that batter
Make sure the candy's
Verse 8
in the original wrapper
Em
Hey, hey, pitcher,
better check that batter
Make sure the candy's
in the original wrapper
Hey, pitcher,
better check that batter
Make sure the candy's in the original wrapper,

hey,

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
