    Verse 1
    Get 
    in 
    the car 
    we’re late 
    for 
    the gig 

    But 
    don’t go 
    too 
    fast 
    it’s been 

    snowin’ since 
    10 am 

    We never 
    will 
    be 
    this 
    free 
    again 

    Just 
    over 
    the 
    bridge, 

    crossin’ the 
    Gatineau 

    To 
    the side 
    that 
    I know 
    where 
    the 

    light 
    becomes 
    strange 

    And 
    we’ll never 
    be 

    Interlude 1
    this 
    free 
    again. 


    Verse 2
    On 
    our way 
    home 
    singin’ the songs 
    that 

    we 
    learned 
    on 
    our 
    mother’s knee 

    Four 
    black 
    sheep 
    in 
    need 

    Tryin’ or 
    cryin’ to 
    be 

    free. 

    Verse 3

    Jesse’s been 
    drinkin’ again 
    and 
    again 
    he 
    won’t believe, 

    he 
    can’t believe 

    We 
    can 
    see 
    right 
    through 
    his 
    soul. 

    Mom 
    and 
    Dad 
    are 
    on 
    their 
    way, 

    they 
    know 
    these 
    roads 

    They’ve been 
    travelling 

    a lonely 
    life. 

    Black 
    sheep 
    they 
    too were 

    born 
    in the 
    night. 

    And 
    we’ll meet 
    at the lodge 
    to suck 
    on life 
    as we 

    look up 
    at the sky 
    that 
    we 
    don’t feel 
    the 
    same. 

    And 
    we’ll never 
    be 
    this 

    free again. 

    May 
    walked 
    away 
    in 
    the snow 

    sayin’ she 
    was 
    through. 

    Verse 4

    An
    d Frere 
    Jacques 
    would 
    never 
    want 

    to ring 
    the bell 
    to tell 
    us 
    all 

    We already 
    knew 

    That 
    out 
    there 
    in the 
    freezing 

    night 
    we 
    will not 
    be 
    all 
    right 

    Four 
    black 
    sheep 

    travelin’ different 
    speeds 

    Verse 5
    Angry 
    at 
    the world 

    Losing 
    their 
    way 
    in the 
    cold 
    blue 
    snow. 

    Red on black 
    on white 
    it 
    glowed. 

    We 
    will 
    never 
    feel 
    that 
    free again. 

    We 
    will 
    never 
    feel 
    that 
    free 
    again. 

    Verse 6

    After 
    the 
    show 
    back 
    on 

    the road 
    to 
    Montreal 

    There 
    were diamonds 

    piercin’ our 
    eyes 

    And 
    the snow 
    pil
    in’ up 
    on 
    either 
    side. 

    Jesse 
    took the 
    wheel, 

    there 
    was 
    an appeal 
    to 
    stop 
    the 
    ride 

    but 
    we were 
    just 
    four 
    black 
    sheep 

    in 
    the night. 

    Verse 7
    Tryin’ to hold 
    on 
    for 
    our lives. 

    We nev
    er 
    made it 
    home, 

    spinnin’ out 
    on the road 

    We 
    took 
    to 
    the sky 
    where 
    we were 
    finally 

    free 
    for 
    the last 
    time. 

    Flyin’ high at the 
    end 
    of our 
    lives. 

    Four black 
    sheep 
    deep in the 
    Verse 8
    white 
    light 

    Red 
    on 
    black on 
    white 
    in 
    the night 

    I said 
    red 
    on 
    black 
    on 
    white 
    in 
    the night 

    I said 
    red 
    on 
    black 
    on white 

    in 
    the night 

    Red 
    on 
    black 
    on white 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    Red 
    on 
    black on 
    white 
    in 
    the night…

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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.
