    Verse 1
    In the 
    spring 
    of 
    '61 I kissed 

    my mother 
    good- 
    bye 

    put on 
    a blue 
    uni
    form 
    and I fought 

    for 
    Lin
    coln's 
    side 

    'Til 
    got 
    caught 
    by Johnny 
    Reb 

    In the 
    woods 
    near 
    Chapel 
    Hill 

    wish 
    to 
    God 
    he would have 

    killed 
    me 
    then 

    But he sen
    me 
    to 
    Anderson 
    ville 

    Verse 2

    My 
    uniform 
    is 
    faded 
    and 
    there's 
    no 

    boots 
    upon 
    my 
    feet 

    And I'm 
    pulling 
    worms 

    out 
    of the 
    mud 

    'Cause 
    there's 
    nothing 
    else 
    to 
    eat 

    And the 
    reb
    can't 

    even 
    feed 
    there 
    own 

    So 
    there's 
    no 
    way 
    they can 
    fill 

    the bel
    lies 
    of 
    the Yan
    kees 

    Starving 
    in 
    Ander
    son 
    ville 

    Verse 3
    Some 
    men 
    are born 
    to preach 

    God's 
    word 

    Some 
    men 
    are 
    born 
    to kill 

    And I 
    guess 
    that 
    was 
    only 
    born 

    To die 
    in 
    An
    der
    son 
    ville 

    Verse 4

    I dug 
    a hole 
    with 
    my 
    bare 
    hands 
    in the 

    red 
    Georgia 
    clay 

    'Cause there 
    ain't 
    no 

    shelter 
    from 
    the sun 

    Or 
    the cold 
    wind, 
    or 
    the 
    rain 

    And I'm 
    too 
    damn 
    weak 
    to 
    stand 
    up 
    at all 

    So 
    just 
    lay 
    quiet 
    and 
    still 

    And 
    they 
    can 
    bury 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    hole 
    dug 

    When I 
    die 
    in 
    An
    der
    son 
    ville 

    Verse 5
    Some men 
    are 
    born to preach 

    God's word 

    Some men 
    are born 
    to 
    kill 

    And 
    I guess 
    that 
    I was only 

    born 


    To die in 
    Anderson 
    ville 

    Verse 6
    I dream 
    the same 
    dream 
    every 
    night 

    Of a 
    woman 
    that I've 
    nev

    er 
    known 

    She's standing 
    by 
    a warm 
    fireside 

    And 
    she 
    whispers 
    that I've 

    come 
    home 

    Every 
    morning 
    when 
    wake 

    I pray 
    someday 
    that 
    she'll 

    Lay 
    a flower 
    on 
    my 
    grave 

    When I 
    die 
    in 
    An
    derson 
    ville 

    Verse 7
    Some 
    men 
    are born 
    to preach 

    God's 
    word 

    Some 
    men 
    are 
    born 
    to kill 

    And 
    guess 
    that 
    was 
    only 
    born 

    To 
    die 
    in 
    An
    derson 
    ville 

    And 
    guess 
    that 
    was 
    only 
    born 

    To die 
    in 
    Ander
    son

    • 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.
