    Verse 1
    I'm 
    sev

    en 
    years 
    old, 

    and 
    my 
    bow-tie's 
    askew 

    askew 

    Gonna 
    get 
    some 
    body 
    of Jesus 
    Christ 

    In 
    a brown 
    velvet 
    suit 

    All 
    the girls 
    are 
    dressed 
    like 
    angels 

    How 
    sweetly 
    they sang 

    Oh 
    be 
    not 
    afraid 
    of 

    us 
    delicate 
    meringues 

    The trailing 
    skirts 
    of 
    God. 

    The trailing 
    skirts 
    of God 

    Have passed 
    on 



    by 

    Verse 2
    It's 
    five 
    years 
    later 
    and 

    I'm 
    on 
    my 
    knees 
    again 

    I 
    am 
    here 
    to 
    confirm 
    what 
    my 

    parents 
    began 

    And 
    I 
    promise 
    to 
    abstain 

    from 
    intoxicating 
    liquor 

    But 
    the 
    flesh, 
    it 
    is 
    weak, 

    and 
    my 
    faith 
    was 
    never 
    stronger 

    The trailing 
    skirts 
    of 
    God 

    Have 
    passed 
    on 
    by 

    Verse 3

    But 
    oh 
    how 
    I 
    cling 
    on 

    Cos 
    it's 
    been 
    a 
    rich 
    seam 
    of 
    song 

    And 
    though 
    it's 
    make-believe 

    Can 
    Can 
    I 
    bring 
    myself 
    to 
    leave 

    This 
    lie's 
    been 
    burning 
    too 

    Interlude 1
    long 


    Verse 4
    Sometimes 
    in 
    my 
    teens 

    Up 
    in 
    Kelly
    er's bedroom 

    Skipping 
    on 
    Saturday 
    evening 

    mass 
    for 
    some 
    solvent 
    ab
    use 

    As 
    the 
    world 
    spun 
    around 
    me, 

    and 
    I 
    eased 
    to 
    the 
    floor 

    Must 
    remem
    ber 
    to 
    get 
    that 
    sermon, 

    and 
    keep 
    the 
    wolf 
    from 
    the 
    door 

    The trailing 
    skirts 
    of 
    God 



    Interlude 2
    Have 
    passed 
    on 
    by 




    Verse 5
    I've 
    drifted 
    far 
    from 
    you 

    In 
    this 
    bloodless 
    coup 

    I've 
    drifted 
    far 
    from 
    you 

    In 
    this 
    bloodless 
    coup 

    I 
    say 
    good-day 
    and 
    and 
    adieu 

    Verse 6
    I've 
    drifted 
    far 
    from 
    you 

    In 
    this 
    bloodless 
    coup 

    I've 
    drifted 
    far 
    from 
    you 

    In 
    this 
    bloodless 
    coup 

    Outro 1
    I 
    say 
    good-day 
    and 
    and 
    adieu

      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

      "

      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.
