  • Verse 1
    We've 
    got 
    tribulation, 

    my 
    good sir. 

    We've got 
    tribulation 
    and 
    schmig
    adoo. 

    Look 
    down 
    there, 
    do 
    you see what 
    see? 

    Peanut 
    shells 
    in the 
    street. 

    Lying 
    there 
    like 
    passed 
    out 

    drunks 
    in the 
    gutter. 

    Turning 
    Town 
    Square 

    into 
    the 
    floor 
    of a 
    saloon. 

    The home 
    of loose 
    women 

    and 
    hooch 
    happy 
    sinners. 

    A petting 
    pandory 

    in the 
    middle 
    of the 
    street. 

    Is 
    that 
    what our 
    town's 
    become? 

    Is that 
    the 
    future 
    we 

    want for 
    our 
    children? 

    I'm 
    telling 
    you, 
    things 
    have 
    changed 
    ever 

    since 
    those 
    two 
    outsiders 
    waltzed 
    in. 

    With 
    their big 
    city 
    ways 

    and 
    their 
    newfangled 
    ideas. 

    Promiscu
    ity 
    and 
    de
    pravity 

    Inter
    lopers, 
    interlop
    ing 
    with 
    hearts 

    Colder 
    than the 
    hinges 
    of hell 

    First 
    the 
    two 
    of them arrive 

    unmar
    ried 

    Brimming 
    with 
    lust, 

    wanting to 
    share a 
    bed 

    Then 
    brazen 
    display 

    at the basket 
    auction 

    Now 
    the 
    mayor's 
    out, 

    proclaiming 
    his perver
    sions 

    At the 
    root 
    of it all 
    are 
    two strangers 

    Who've 
    never 
    cracked a 
    Bible 
    in 
    their 
    life 

    And 
    that's 
    gonna 
    lead 
    to 

    tribulation 
    and 
    strife 

    Now 
    I've 
    got 
    nothing 
    against 
    outsiders 

    Provided 
    they're the 

    right 
    kind of 
    people 

    Kind 
    of 
    folk 
    who look 
    and 
    talk 

    and 
    act 
    like 
    us 

    Peas 
    in a 
    pot 
    and 
    birds 
    of 
    a feather 

    Not 
    loud, 
    not 
    trash, 

    whether Tommy 
    Rotten 

    Flap 
    -doodle 
    -clap 
    -trap 

    and 
    fiddle 
    -faddle 
    an
    d jiggery 
    -pokery 

    Stir
    rin' 
    up the 
    cream 

    while you're 
    waitin' 
    for it to 
    settle 

    Like 
    ver
    min 
    in the 
    root cellar, 

    flies 
    in the 
    buttermilk 

    And 
    they're influencin' 

    There, 
    I said 
    it 

    They're 
    influencin' 
    your 
    chil
    dren 

    Like 
    an 
    earwig 
    crawlin' 

    from the 
    ears 
    to the 
    brains 

    And 
    soon 
    your 
    young 'uns 

    will be 
    neglectin' 
    chores 

    Milk 
    goin' 
    sour, 

    un
    strained 
    in the 
    springhouse 

    Back 
    talkin' 
    dinner, 

    no time 
    for the 
    good book 

    Rag

    blaring

    And 
    that's 
    just 
    the 
    beginning,

    Soon 
    you won't

    no you 
    won't, 

    no 
    you won't

    Recognize

    I'm

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      "

      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.
