    Every
    body's 
    got 
    a 
    Verse 1

    song 

    about 
    their 
    old 
    gui
    tar 

    So 
    instead 
    I 
    wrote 
    a 
    song 

    about 
    how 
    this 
    one 
    got 
    its 

    scars 

    It's 
    not 
    that 
    I 
    don't 
    care 
    for 
    it, 

    it's 
    like 
    a 
    friend 
    to 
    me 

    But 
    every 
    nick 
    and 
    scratch 

    is 
    a 
    piece 
    of 
    history 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    17, 

    I 
    put 
    that 
    crack 
    there 
    in 
    the 
    bout 

    In 
    a 
    smoky 
    pub 
    in 
    Lon
    don 

    was 
    my 
    first 
    time 
    drinkin' 
    stout 

    I 
    was 
    singin' 
    like 
    some 
    hot
    shot, 

    my 
    guitar 
    slung 
    on 
    my 
    back 

    But 
    the strap 
    peg 
    wasn't 
    tight, 

    so 
    it 
    fell 
    and 
    got 
    that 
    crack 

    Hey, 
    old 
    friend, 
    you 
    served 
    me 
    well 

    You 
    cheered 
    me 
    up 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    blue 

    But 
    just 
    like 
    me, 
    I 
    see 
    you've 
    got 

    A 
    battle 
    scar, 
    oh, 
    too 

    A 
    battle 
    scar, 
    oh, 
    too 

    One 
    New 
    York 
    City 
    afternoon 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    23 

    I 
    went 
    out 
    for 
    a 
    pic
    nic 
    in 
    a 

    park 
    with 
    just 
    one 
    tree 

    A 
    friend 
    was 
    playing 
    my 
    old 
    guitar, 


    and we played 
    a 
    game 
    of 
    chase 

    And 
    he 
    turned 
    around 
    to look 
    at 
    me, 

    and 
    a 
    branch 
    went 
    through 
    the 
    face 

    Hey 
    old 
    friend, 
    you 
    served 
    me 
    well, 

    you 
    cheered 
    me 
    up 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    blue 

    But 
    just 
    like 
    me, 

    I 
    see 
    you've 
    got 
    a 
    battle 
    scar 
    too 

    a 
    battle 
    scar 
    or 
    two 

    all 
    the 
    things 
    that 
    we 
    go 
    through 

    help 
    to 
    make 
    us 
    who 
    we 
    are 

    the 
    hurts 
    and 
    disappoint
    ments 

    and 
    the 
    pain 
    but 
    just 
    like 
    I 

    would 
    never 
    sell 
    or 
    trade 

    this 
    old 
    gui
    tar 
    without 
    the 
    scars 

    my 
    heart 
    just 
    wouldn't 
    be 
    the 
    same 

    In 
    Oregon, 
    a 
    friend 
    of 
    mine 

    was 
    reaching 
    for 
    a 
    mic 

    The 
    guitar 
    lay 
    down 
    on 
    its 
    case, 

    we 
    were 
    fin
    ished 
    for 
    the 
    night 

    But 
    a 
    cable 
    caught 
    on 
    something, 

    and 
    a 
    heavy 
    mic 
    stand 
    fell 

    So 
    this 
    Mar
    tin 
    sounds 
    like 
    heaven, 

    but 
    that's 
    why 
    it 
    look
    s 
    like 
    hell 

    Hey 
    old 
    friend, 
    you 
    served 
    me 
    well, 

    you 
    cheered 
    me 
    up 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    blue 

    Just 
    like 
    me, 

    I 
    see 
    you've 
    got 
    a 
    battle 
    scar 
    or 
    two, 

    a 
    battle 
    scar 
    or 
    two. 

    You 
    and 
    me 
    play 
    every 
    night, 

    we 
    travel 
    all 
    around. 

    And 
    I 
    hate 
    to 
    say, 
    but 
    chances 
    are, 

    we'll 
    both 
    get 
    knocked 
    around. 

    So 
    I'll 
    take 
    you 
    to 
    the 
    shop, 

    get 
    you 
    patched 
    up 
    when 
    I 
    must. 

    Cause 
    it's 
    better 
    to 

    get 
    some 
    battle 
    scars 

    than 
    to 
    sit 
    and 
    gather 
    dust 

    Hey 
    old 
    friend, 
    you 
    served 
    me 
    well, 

    you 
    cheered 
    me 
    up 
    when 
    I 
    was 
    blue 

    But 
    just 
    like 
    me, 

    I 
    see 
    you've 
    got 
    a 
    battle 
    scar 
    or 
    two 

    A 
    battle 
    scar 
    or 
    two

      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.
