    Verse 1
    Tucson, 
    Arizona 

    Rising 
    in 
    the heat 
    like 

    Mirage 

    Tony 
    keeps 
    his Chevy 

    Like 
    a virgin 
    locked 
    in 

    His 
    gar
    age 

    He 
    brings 
    it out 
    at mid
    night 

    And 
    cruises 
    down 
    the 

    Empty 
    boulevard

    And he 
    prowls 
    the 

    Darkened 
    al
    leys 

    That 
    snake 
    between 
    the 
    city`s 

    Thirsty 
    yards 

    The 
    lonely 
    desert 
    skies 
    reflect 

    The 
    an
    ger 
    in 
    his eye

    And 
    it is 
    dawn. 

    Verse 2

    His 
    father 
    died 
    of drinking 

    And 
    left five 
    children 
    sinking 

    With 
    his 
    mo

    His 
    older 
    brother 
    Bobby 

    Never 
    made 
    it back 
    from Viet 
    Nam 

    With 
    high school 
    well 
    behind 
    him 

    He 
    lives 
    at 
    home 
    and work
    s this 

    Shitty 
    job. 

    Verse 3

    And 
    he thinks 
    his 
    '60 Chevy 

    Is 
    the 
    only 
    true 
    amigo 

    That 
    he's got 

    His 
    heart 
    is 
    filled 
    with sad
    ness 

    And 
    his soul 
    is like 
    some 

    Ugly 
    vacant 
    lot. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Mary 
    Estelle 
    Hanna 

    Came

    A deal gone 
    bad 
    in Dallas 

    Left

    and broke 

    And 
    on 
    the run 

    To 
    make the 
    rent 
    and gro
    ceries 

    She 
    takes 
    this 
    job 
    at 

    $3.15 an hour 

    Serving 
    shots 
    of whis
    key 

    And tequila 

    In some 
    smoky 
    red-neck 
    bar 

    bar 

    And 
    she dream
    s some 
    day 

    She`ll

    her way

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5

    saw 
    her working 

    He 
    swallowed 
    hard 
    and 
    asked 

    Her 
    for 
    a date 

    Mary 
    laughed 
    and 
    answered 

    "I 
    would 
    but 
    every 
    night 

    I`m working 
    late" 

    He 
    said he 
    had 
    some co
    caine 

    That 
    she could 
    have 
    if 
    she`d 

    Just ride 
    along 

    She said 
    "What the 
    hell, 

    I may 
    a well 

    haven`t had 
    no 
    fun 
    in 

    So 
    dam
    long" 

    He 
    picked 
    her up 
    at clos
    ing 
    time 

    They 
    pulled 
    out 
    on 
    the road 

    And they 
    were 
    gone. 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 6
    Tony`s mom 
    got 
    frantic 

    When 
    she found 
    her son 
    had 

    Not 
    come 
    home 

    Mary`s roommate 
    panicked 

    And 
    called 
    the sheriff 
    from 

    A public 
    phone 

    They asked 
    her lots 
    of ques
    tions 

    She 
    tried 
    her 
    best 
    to tell 

    Them 
    what 
    she saw. 

    Verse 7

    And 
    late 
    that 
    night

    on they 
    found

    Buried

    In 
    the sand 

    There inside 
    lay 
    Tony 

    With 
    a small 
    revolver 
    in 

    His 
    hand 

    The 
    papers 
    simply 
    stated 

    It 
    must 
    have been 
    the 

    Drug
    s that drove 
    him

    a good 
    boy 

    Go 
    so

    Well, it 
    might 
    have been 

    The deser

    have been 
    the 

    Home 
    he 
    never

    • 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 🙂

    • 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

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
