    Verse 1
    Your 
    sword's 

    grown 
    old 
    and 
    rusty 

    Burnt 
    beneath 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    It's 
    locked 
    up 
    like 
    a trophy 

    For
    getting 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    it's 
    done 

    And 
    though 
    it's 
    been 
    a long 
    time 

    You're 
    right 
    back 
    where 

    you 
    star
    ted 
    from 

    I 
    see 
    it 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    That now 
    you're 
    giving 
    up 
    the 
    gun 

    When 
    I 
    was seventeen, 
    Verse 2

    I 
    had 
    wrists 
    like 
    steel 

    And 
    I 
    felt 
    com
    plete 

    And now 
    my 
    body 
    fades 

    behind 
    a brass 
    charade 

    And 
    I'm 
    ob
    solete 

    But 
    if 
    the chance 
    remains 

    to see 
    those 
    better 
    days 

    I'd 
    cut 
    the can
    nons 
    down 

    My 
    ears 
    are blown 
    to bits 

    from 
    all 
    the 
    rifle 
    hits 

    But still 
    I 
    crave 
    that 
    sound 

    Verse 3
    Your 
    sword's 
    grown 
    old 
    and 
    rusty 

    Burnt 
    beneath 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    It's 
    locked 
    up 
    like 
    a trophy 

    For
    getting 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    it's 
    done 

    And 
    though 
    it's 
    been 
    a long 
    time 

    You're 
    right 
    back 
    where 

    you 
    star
    ted 
    from 

    I 
    see 
    it 
    in 
    your 
    eyes 

    That 
    now 
    you're 
    giving 
    up 
    the 
    gun 

    I 
    heard 
    you play 
    Verse 4
    guitar 
    down 

    at 
    a seedy 
    bar 

    Where 
    skinheads used 
    to 
    fight 

    Your Tokugawa 
    smile 
    and 

    your garbage 
    style 

    Used 
    to save 
    the 
    night 

    You 
    felt 
    the coming 
    wave, 

    told 
    me 
    we'd 
    all be 
    brave 

    You said 
    you 
    wouldn't 
    flinch 

    But 
    in 
    the 
    years 
    that passed, 

    since 
    I saw 
    you last 

    You 
    haven't 
    moved 
    an 
    inch 

    Verse 5
    Your 
    sword's 
    grown 
    old 
    and 
    rusty 

    Burnt 
    beneath 
    the 
    rising 
    sun 

    It's 
    locked 
    up 
    like 
    a trophy 

    For
    getting 
    all 
    the 
    things 
    it's 
    done 

    And 
    though 
    it's 
    been 
    a long 
    time 

    You're 
    right 
    back 
    where 

    you 
    star
    ted

    I 
    see

    I

    your way 

    Go on, go

    Go on, go 
    on, 
    go 
    on)

      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

      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 🙂

      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 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.

      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.
