    Verse 1

    I 
    was 
    in my 
    watering-hole 
    with 

    with some 
    ugly 
    friends 
    of 
    mine 

    when he 
    door 
    came 
    off 
    its hinges 

    like 
    a 
    cork 
    from 
    fizzy 
    wine. 

    He 
    said, 
    "My name 
    is 
    Jesus: I'm the 

    leader 
    of 
    the band. 

    Got to 
    set up 
    my 
    equipment, 

    if you 
    boys 
    can lend 
    a 
    hand." 

    Oh yeah. 
    When 
    Jesus 
    came 

    to 
    play. 

    He 
    set that 
    bandstand 
    jumping. 

    Yeah, and 
    he 
    cranked 
    it up so 
    loud. 

    And he 
    moved 
    up to 
    the 
    microphone: had the 

    at
    tention 
    of the crowd. 

    He 
    said, "My 
    name is 
    Jesus: going 

    to 
    turn 
    your head 
    around. 

    I'm 
    go
    ing to make 
    this 
    easy. 

    Got 
    no 
    time 
    to mess 
    around." 

    Oh 
    yeah. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    "I 
    got no 
    twelve 
    disciples, 

    and 
    I 
    got 
    no cross 
    to bear. 

    If 
    you 
    thought they 
    had me 
    crucified, 

    I 
    guess 
    you weren't 
    there." 

    Oh 
    yeah. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 

    He sang about 
    three or four 
    numbers, 

    but 
    we'd 
    heard 
    it all be
    fore. 

    We 
    boys 
    were getting 
    restless: no 

    girls 
    were 
    moving 
    on the 
    floor. 

    Those 
    parables, 

    they 
    were 
    merciless 
    and 
    the 
    tables 
    over
    turned. 

    And 
    there 
    were no 
    minor 
    miracles 

    but false 
    prophets 
    they were 
    burned. 

    Well, 
    maybe 
    he was 
    Jesus; 

    But his 
    hair could 
    have used 
    a comb. 

    Long 
    be
    fore 
    he hit the last 
    notes, 

    we 
    boys 
    had all gone 
    home. 

    Oh 
    yeah. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to 
    play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came 
    to play. 

    When 
    Jesus 
    came to 
    play. 

    Oh 

    Je

    sus, 

    is 
    it 
    really 
    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 🙂

      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.
