    Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    rode 
    to 
    your 

    house 
    I 
    was 
    beaten 
    and 
    robbed 

    By 
    a band 
    of 
    moon- 
    faced 
    vagabonds 

    They 
    were 
    rifling 
    through 
    my 
    pock

    ets 
    and 
    untying 
    my 
    shoes 

    When 
    the 
    air 
    began 
    to 
    boil 

    Verse 2
    Slow 
    is the 
    black 
    dog 
    in 
    the sky 

    Who 
    pisses 
    and 
    slobbers 

    all 
    over 
    the world 

    From 
    Belford 
    to Wooler, 

    to 
    Beadnell and Ford 

    He slowly 
    devours 
    the 
    land 

    Verse 3
    I 
    did 
    not 
    see 
    what 
    occurred 
    but 

    I 
    heard 
    their 
    awful 
    sounds 

    And 
    smelled 
    the 
    perfume 
    of 
    death 

    When 
    I 
    opened 
    my 
    eyes 

    the 
    Sun 
    no 
    longer 
    shined 

    For 
    those 
    poor 
    children 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    Here 
    I 
    lie 
    in 
    the 
    mud, 

    my 
    waist
    coat 
    caked 
    in 
    blood 

    Not 
    able 
    to 
    stand 
    of 
    my 
    own 
    volition 

    A flash 
    of 
    lightning 
    illuminates 

    the 
    belly 
    of 
    the 
    beast 

    I 
    see 
    entrails 
    dripping 
    in 
    the 
    trees 

    Verse 5

    Slow 
    is the 
    black 
    dog 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Who 
    pisses 
    and 
    slobbers 

    all 
    over 
    the world 

    From 
    Belford 
    to Wooler, 

    to 
    Beadnell and Ford 

    He slowly 
    de
    vours 
    the 
    land 

    Now 
    I 
    Verse 6
    run 
    through 
    the 
    night 

    though 
    my 
    bones 
    are 
    on 
    fire 

    To 
    see 
    you 
    in 
    the bosom 
    of 
    the 
    hills 

    Through 
    an 
    ocean 
    of 
    fog 
    I 

    am 
    ceaselessly 
    drawn 

    To 
    the lantern 
    in 
    your 
    win
    dow 

    To 
    the lantern 
    in 
    your 
    win
    dow 

    To 
    the 
    lantern 
    in 
    your 
    window 

    To 
    the 
    lantern 
    in 
    your 
    window

      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

      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 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.
