    Verse 1
    Bare 
    skin 
    is 
    my 
    wrinkled 
    sack, 

    when hot 
    Apollo 
    pumps 
    my 
    back. 

    When 
    Jack 
    Frost 
    grabs 

    me 
    in these 
    rags, 

    I wrap 
    my 
    legs 
    with 
    burlap 
    bags. 

    My 
    flesh 
    is 
    cinder, 
    my 
    face 
    is 
    snow, 

    I 
    walk 
    the railroad 
    to 
    and 
    fro. 

    When 
    city 
    streets 
    are black 
    and 
    dead, 

    the 
    railroad 
    embankment 
    is 
    my 
    bed. 

    I 
    sup 
    my 
    soup 
    from 
    old 
    tin 
    cans, 

    And 
    take 
    my 
    sweets 
    from 
    little 
    hands. 

    In 
    Tiger 
    Al
    ley, 
    near the 
    jail, 

    I 
    steal 
    away 
    from 
    the garbage 
    pail. 

    In 
    darkest 
    night, 

    where 
    none 
    can 
    see 
    down 

    In the 
    bowels 
    of the 
    factory, 

    I sneak 
    barefoot 
    upon 
    stone 

    Come 
    and 
    hear 
    the 
    old 
    man 
    groan 

    I 
    hide 
    and 
    wait like 
    a 
    naked 
    child 

    Un
    der 
    the bridge 
    my 

    heart 
    goes 
    wild 

    I 
    scream 
    at 
    a fire 
    on 
    the riverbank 

    I 
    give 
    my 
    body 
    to 
    an old 
    gas 
    tank 

    I 
    dream 
    that 
    I 
    have burning 
    hair, 

    boiled 
    arms 
    that 
    claw 
    the 
    air, 

    the 
    torso 
    of 
    an iron 
    king, 

    and 
    on 
    my 
    back 
    a 
    broken 
    wing, 

    who'll 
    go 
    out 
    whoring 
    into 
    the 

    night 
    on 
    the eyeless 
    road 

    in 
    the 
    skinny 
    moonlight. 

    Nay, 
    nor 
    dowd, 
    or 
    athlete 
    proud, 

    nay, 
    wanton 
    with 
    me 
    in the 
    shroud. 

    Oh, 
    come 
    lie 
    down 
    in 
    the dark 
    with 
    me, 

    belly to 
    belly 
    and 
    knee 
    to 
    knee. 

    Oh, 
    look into 
    my 
    wooded 
    eye
    . 

    Oh, 
    lie 
    down 
    under 
    my 
    darkened 

    thigh. 

    You

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
