    • Verse 1
    "I was 
    in a really 
    dark 
    place," 

    "I 
    even 
    thought 
    of 
    packing 
    it 
    in, 

    but I 
    just 
    could 
    not 
    bring 
    myself 
    to 
    do it." 

    "I met 
    an old 
    friend 
    that 
    I had 
    a 

    real 
    connection 
    with," 

    "And he 
    saw 
    my 
    des
    pair." 

    "He asked 
    me 
    if I'd 
    like 

    to play 
    with 
    him," 

    "And as 
    we played 
    I felt, 
    slowly 
    but 
    surely, 

    rock 
    'n roll 
    grab 
    me by 
    the neck, 
    and I, 
    well..." 

    Verse 2
    You 
    are 
    a 
    man 
    of 
    impeccable 
    taste 

    And 
    you 
    know 
    when 
    the 

    X 
    marks 
    the spot 

    We 
    all 
    need 
    a 
    map 
    for 
    the trail 

    of 
    your 
    thought 

    Where 
    to 
    go? 
    Well, 

    the 
    X 
    marks 
    the spot 

    Verse 3
    You 
    seem 
    to 
    have 
    a 
    mis
    giving 

    Hell 
    yeah, 
    you 
    make 
    a liv
    ing 

    Don't 
    add 
    bricks 
    to what 
    we're 
    heaving 

    We 
    would 
    so 
    much 
    rather 
    enjoy 
    the 
    beach, 

    beer 
    and a 
    fire 

    You 
    Verse 4
    think 
    something 
    somewhere 

    has 
    a 
    copyright 
    for 
    the world 

    And 
    you've 
    signed 
    where 

    the 
    X 
    marks 
    the spot 

    You 
    join 
    a cult, 

    fill 
    the 
    void 
    that 
    you've 
    got 

    Deep 
    with
    in 
    where 
    the 

    X 
    marks 
    the spot 

    Verse 5
    There 
    you 
    stand 
    and 
    talk 
    and 
    holler 

    how 
    dark 
    are 
    all 
    your 
    colors 

    When 
    you paint 
    another 
    sunrise 

    you 
    leave 
    out 
    the sun

    Birds 
    like 
    you 
    fly 
    straight 
    to 
    heaven, 

    heaven 

    Or 
    they 
    slowly 
    float 
    away 

    Verse 6
    How 
    well 
    do 
    you 
    know 
    those 

    you're 
    calling 
    your 
    own? 

    I mean... 
    come 
    on, 

    dude! 
    (X marks 
    the 
    spot) 

    Your 
    starving 
    soul 
    in your 
    house 

    of skin 
    and 
    bone 

    You're 
    an 
    island, 
    the 
    X 
    mark
    s 
    the spot 

    "Testify 
    children, 
    testi
    fy." 

    Verse 7
    There 
    you 
    stand 
    and 
    talk 
    and 
    holler 

    how 
    dark 
    are 
    all 
    your col
    ors 

    When 
    you paint 
    another 
    sunrise 

    you 
    leave 
    out 
    the 
    sun

    Birds 
    like 
    you 
    fly 
    straight 
    to 
    heaven, 
    heaven 

    Or 
    they

    Verse 8

    "Rock'n'roll 
    allowed 

    me to 
    join 
    this band," 

    "And 
    there 
    was a 
    period 
    of 
    time 
    when I 

    hadn't 
    exactly 
    lost 
    my 
    soul," 

    "I 
    just 
    didn't 
    know 
    where 
    I'd put 
    it," 

    "And I 
    ended up 
    in some 
    very 
    dark 
    places 

    and 
    some 
    dire 
    cir
    cumstances." 

    "Now 
    let 
    me tell 
    you, children, 

    I was trying 
    to fill 
    a 
    void 
    in my 
    heart." 

    "To 
    fill 
    that void 
    I 
    got what 

    I always 
    wanted:" 

    "Success, 
    prosper
    ity, 

    the admiration 
    I wanted 
    as a 
    player," 

    "I got 
    play 
    some big 
    shows 
    and 
    travel 

    the world 
    from 
    end 
    to 
    end." 

    "And 
    in 
    the midst 
    of 
    it all 
    I had 
    this 

    yearning 
    in 
    my heart." 

    "Yearning 
    in 
    my heart 
    for 

    rock'n'roll." 

    Verse 9

    "I was 
    called 
    to 
    join 
    this band," 

    "And 
    I 
    was surroun
    ded 
    by 
    good folks 
    who were 
    servants 

    of 
    the 
    rock'n'roll 
    who 
    passed 
    on the 
    love." 

    "I'll 
    testify: the 
    fear 
    was 
    in 
    me, 

    I was 
    afraid 
    of 
    everything," 

    "I can 
    swear 
    I saw 
    my 
    own 
    living 

    heart 
    beating 
    through 
    my shirt." 

    Verse 10
    You 
    are 
    a circus, 

    but 
    where 
    is 
    the clown? 

    There's 
    no 
    map, 

    still 
    the 
    X 
    marks 
    the 
    spot 

    Verse 11
    There 
    you 
    stand 
    and 
    talk 
    and 
    holler 

    how 
    dark 
    are 
    all 
    your 
    colors 

    When 
    you paint 
    another 
    sun
    rise 

    you 
    leave 
    out 
    the 
    sun

    Birds 
    like 
    you 
    fly 
    straight 
    to 
    heaven, 
    heaven 

    Or 
    they 
    slowly 
    float 
    down 
    into 
    the 
    night 

    with 
    senior 
    John 
    Barleycorn 

    Verse 12
    Heaven, 
    heaven 

    Or 
    they 
    slowly 
    float 
    away 



    "Now 
    you children, 

    are you 
    ready 
    to spread 
    the word?" 

    "Everybody 
    sing, 
    'Eo'" 

    "Everybody 
    sing, 

    'wohoho'" 

    "Everybody 
    sing 

    'hey- hey', 'wow- wow', 'hey- hey' huh?" 

    Verse 13

    Birds 
    like 
    you 
    fly 
    straight 
    to 
    heaven, 
    heaven 

    Or 
    they 
    slowly

    Birds 
    like 
    you

    heaven, 
    heaven 

    Or 
    they 
    slowly 
    float 
    away... 

    Verse 14
    "And 
    the funny 
    thing 
    was 
    I was 
    like a 
    spiritual 
    baby 
    running 

    around 
    with diapers 
    on 
    where 
    the X 
    marks 
    the spot." 

    "I'd 
    given 
    my life 
    to 
    rock'n'roll 
    but I 
    still 

    wasn't 
    sure 
    was 
    there 
    rock'n'roll? 
    Is 
    it 
    real?"

      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.

      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.
