    • Verse 1
    "Lee," 

    the 
    ser
    geant 
    said 
    to me, 

    "acting 
    on 
    my 
    discretion 

    It 
    is 
    my 
    solemn 
    duty 
    to 

    arrest 
    you 
    on 
    suspicion" 

    They 
    put 
    me 
    in a 
    car
    riage, 

    I 
    was 
    driven 
    many 
    miles 

    They 
    locked 
    me 
    in a 
    pris
    on cell 

    to 
    await 
    my 
    trial 


    Verse 2
    John 
    'Bab
    bacombe' Lee 

    John 
    'Babbacombe' Lee 

    Verse 3
    The man 
    who'd 
    defend 
    me 
    was 

    ill 
    and 
    could
    n't 
    come 

    His 
    brother 
    came 
    to 
    lend 
    me 

    help 
    and 
    I 
    knew 
    I 
    was 
    undone 

    "Do 
    just 
    what 
    you 
    want 
    with 
    me, 

    I 
    don't 
    have 
    a choice 

    You'd 
    do 
    as well 
    without 
    me 
    as 
    I'm 

    not 
    allowed 
    to use 
    my 
    voice" 

    Verse 4
    The judge 
    sits 
    high 
    and mighty 
    and 

    he asks 
    me 
    who I 
    am 

    The robes 
    he 
    wears 
    impress 
    me 

    but 
    he looks 
    a kindly 
    man 

    "To 
    all 
    who've 
    come 
    to see 
    me, for 

    those 
    that'd 
    prove 
    me 
    guilty 

    May 
    the joker 
    hear 
    your 
    call 
    and 

    show 
    you 
    all 
    more 
    mercy"

    Verse 7
    The tri
    al 
    was 
    quickly 
    over 

    and 
    my 
    head 
    was 
    full of pain 

    I 
    was slowly 
    go
    ing 
    crazy 
    with the 

    same 
    story 
    over 
    again 

    Verse 8
    I 
    was 
    tired 
    and 
    aching, 

    I 
    was standing 
    half 
    asleep

    All 
    I 
    wanted 
    was 
    to take 
    the weight 

    from 
    off 
    my 
    feet 

    Verse 9
    John 
    'Bab
    bacombe' Lee 

    John 
    'Bab
    bacombe' Lee 

    Verse 10
    The 
    jury 
    filed 
    in slowly 
    while 

    we waited 
    their 
    command 

    "Courage, 
    John, 
    you're 
    helpless 
    and 

    you are 
    in 
    heaven's 
    hand" 

    John 
    Lee's 
    not 
    scared 
    of 
    dy
    ing, 

    there's 
    a smile 
    in 
    all 
    you'll 
    find 

    Cradled 
    in a 
    deep 
    sleep 
    with 

    a perfect 
    peace 
    of 
    mind 

    Verse 11
    I 
    can
    not 
    blame 
    the 
    jury, 

    on 
    the 
    evidence 
    they 
    heard 

    It 
    seemed 
    that 
    I 
    was 
    guilty, 

    hanged 
    by 
    too 
    many 
    words 

    I smiled 
    in 
    front 
    of 
    people 
    so 

    I told 
    them 
    what 
    it meant 

    I 
    trust 
    the Lord 
    in 
    heaven 
    and 

    he knows 
    I'm inno
    cent 


    Verse 12

      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 🙂

      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.
