    Verse 1

    I quit 
    school 
    in the 
    10th grade 

    and 
    grew 
    out

    got 
    me 
    a job 
    doing 
    lawn
    mower 
    re
    pair 

    I met 
    an 
    army 
    recruiter 
    down 

    at 
    the Wynn 
    Dixie 

    He said 
    "son, 
    you've no

    pack 
    up 
    and 
    go 
    with

    F.O.B 

    With my 
    boots 
    and 
    my cover 

    and 
    an old 
    M16 

    Two 
    bottles 
    of water

    sure 
    to get 
    paid 

    We'll

    the

    you 
    a trade 

    It's 
    not 
    job, 
    it's 
    an adventure, 

    oh 
    yes sir, 
    got 
    that

    They 
    ambushed 
    our 
    convey 

    and we 
    chased 
    the 
    as
    shole 

    We 
    found 
    them all 
    hiding 
    in 

    low 
    water 
    ditches 

    And we 
    took 
    aim 
    and 
    killed 
    all 
    them, 

    son 
    of 
    a bitches

    M.P 

    The 
    ugliest 
    woman 
    you 
    ever 
    did see 

    He said 
    "why 
    are 
    you 
    laughing, 

    you 
    got 
    lots 
    of nerve"

    • 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.
