    Verse 1
    Billy 
    never 

    made 
    the football 
    team 

    'Cause 
    Billy's 
    size 
    was small 

    But 
    Billy's 
    brother 
    was a 

    mighty 
    lad 

    And played 
    a lot 
    of high 
    school 
    ball 

    Verse 2

    And 
    Billy's 
    daddy 
    never 

    favored 
    him 

    He catered 
    to 
    the 
    bigger 
    guys 

    But later 
    on 
    in a 
    big
    ger 
    way 

    Billy 
    over
    came 
    his size 

    Verse 3

    The years 
    flew 
    by 
    and 
    Billy 
    grew 

    But he 
    never 
    got 
    very 
    big 

    We 
    called 
    him shorty 
    but he 
    never 
    got 
    mad 

    He 
    was always 
    good 
    for 
    dig 

    Verse 4
    And 
    we paid 
    no 
    mind 
    when he 
    fell 
    in 
    line 

    And 
    left 
    with 
    the 
    other 
    guys 

    And 
    the Sargent 
    laughed 

    at 
    his skinny 
    frame 

    But 
    Billy 
    overcame 
    his size 


    Verse 5
    Billy 
    overcame 
    his size 

    Yeah, 
    Billy 
    overcame 
    his 
    size 

    Later 
    on 
    in 
    big
    ger 
    way 

    Bill 
    overcame 
    his 
    size 

    Verse 6

    Billy's 
    brother 
    made 
    a football 
    star 

    And the 
    biggest 
    man 
    in town 

    And the 
    scholarship 
    that kept 
    him 
    home 

    Never 
    seemed 
    to 
    bring 
    him 
    down 

    Verse 7
    But 
    on 
    the 
    other 
    hand 
    his 
    brother 
    Bill 

    Put 
    pride 
    in 
    his 
    daddy's 
    eye

    When he 
    died 
    to save 
    those 
    other 
    men 

    Billy 
    overcame 
    his size 


    Verse 8
    Billy 
    overcame 
    his size 

    Billy 
    overcame 
    his 
    size 

    When he 
    died 
    to save 
    those 
    other 
    men 

    Billy 
    over
    came 
    his 
    size

    • 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.
