    Verse 1
    We 
    command

    eer 
    a 
    corner 
    table 

    At 
    our 
    small 
    town 
    diner

    Just 
    five 
    or 
    six 
    old 
    men 

    Throwin' 
    out 
    corny 
    ol' 
    one-liners 

    They 
    They 
    pat 
    the 
    heads 
    of 
    children 

    Give 
    friendly 
    nods 
    to strangers 

    They 
    sure 
    seem 
    quick 
    to 
    laugh 

    Makes 
    you 
    think 
    they're 
    slow 

    to 
    an
    ger 

    Those 
    Verse 2
    guys 
    were front-line 
    brothers 

    brothers 

    Their 
    lives 
    depended 
    on 
    each 
    other 

    They were 
    soldiers 
    long 

    before 
    they 
    were men 

    Yeah, 
    the ones 
    that 
    somehow 
    survived 

    Came 
    home, 
    went 
    on 
    to build 
    their 
    lives 

    Never 
    chargin' 
    us 
    a penny 

    For the 
    debt 
    we 
    owe 
    to them 

    But 
    you can 
    almost 
    smell 

    the gun 
    smoke 

    And the 
    foxholes 
    that they 
    shared 

    On the 
    days 
    they 
    raise 
    their coffees 

    And 
    toast 
    the 
    empty 
    chair 

    Verse 3


    They'll 
    ask 
    you where 
    you're from 

    What 
    you do, 
    what 
    you've done 

    But 
    don't 
    go 
    thinkin' 

    they're 
    all talk 

    'Cause you 
    wouldn't 

    wanna 
    piss 
    them off

    Verse 5


    They'll 
    tell 
    you 
    any
    thing 

    you 
    wanna 
    know 

    But 
    there's 
    one 
    place 

    they just 
    won't 
    go 

    'Cause 
    they don't 
    wanna 

    ru
    in 
    our 
    dreams 

    By 
    tellin' 
    us 
    the things 
    they've 
    seen

      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.
