  • Intro 1

    It 
    was on 
    Friday 
    Verse 1

    evening 
    wasn't 
    nobody 
    'round 

    was sitting 
    by my 
    window 

    watching 
    the sun 
    go 
    down 

    My 
    baby came 
    up to me 
    saying 

    daddy 
    I got 
    news 
    for you 

    I have been 
    re
    cruited 
    and 
    there ain't nothing 

    that you can do 

    Verse 2

    'Cause 
    I can 't stand 
    sitting 
    , round 

    this 
    crazy 
    town 
    no 
    more 

    Not since 
    the 
    little baby 
    shot 
    dead 

    down 
    on 
    the second floor 

    An
    d what about 
    that poor 
    old 
    lady 

    crippled 
    in a police 
    raid 

    They told me 
    if I get 
    killed 
    in 
    battle 

    I still 
    get 
    paid 

    Verse 3
    And 
    when the train 
    pulled 

    out 
    this morning 

    I just 
    stood and waved 
    bye 
    bye 

    My baby 
    joined 
    the army 
    and 

    wasn't 
    nothing 
    could do 
    but cry 

    So I cried 

    Verse 4

    Well there 
    was a time 
    and 
    there was a 
    dance 

    that I 
    used to 
    do 

    There was a dream 
    that was working 

    and I 
    had other 
    plans for 
    you 

    His 
    family 
    and his pride 

    is all a man 
    like me 
    has left 

    Better 
    watch 
    your back 
    better 
    take care 
    of 

    your
    self 

    Interlude 1


    And 
    when the train 
    Verse 5
    pulled 

    out next 
    morning 

    No precious 
    child 
    was left behind 
    no 

    'Cause 
    my 
    baby 
    joined 
    the army, 

    wasn't 
    nothing 
    could do 

    Nothing 
    could do 
    but 
    cry, 

    so I cried 

    Interlude 2

    Some 
    day 
    Verse 6
    people will 
    look 
    back and say 

    That 
    was a time 
    when 
    peace 

    didn't declare 

    But I won't 
    be around 
    watching 
    the 
    sun 

    go down

    • 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.
