    Verse 1
    We 
    met 
    as 
    soulmates 

    On 
    Parris 
    Island 

    We 
    left 
    as 
    inmates 

    From 
    an 
    asylum 

    And 
    we 
    were 
    sharp 

    As 
    sharp 
    as 
    knives 

    And 
    we 
    were 
    so 
    gung 
    ho 

    to 
    lay 
    down 
    our 
    lives 

    Verse 2
    We 
    came 
    in 
    spastic 

    Like 
    tameless 
    horses 

    We 
    left 
    in 
    plastic 

    As 
    numbered 
    corpses 

    And 
    we 
    learned 
    fast 

    To 
    travel 
    light 

    Our 
    arms 
    were 
    heavy 

    But 
    our 
    bellies 
    were 
    tight 


    Verse 3
    We 
    had 
    no 
    home 
    front 

    We 
    had 
    no 
    soft 
    soap 

    They 
    sent 
    us 
    Playboy 

    They 
    gave 
    us 
    Bob 
    Hope 

    We 
    dug 
    in 
    deep 

    And 
    shot 
    on 
    sight 

    And 
    prayed 
    to 
    Jesus 
    Christ 

    With 
    all 
    of 
    our 
    might 

    Verse 4
    We 
    had 
    no 
    cameras 

    To 
    shoot 
    the 
    landscape 

    We 
    passed 
    the 
    hash 
    pipe 

    And 
    played 
    our 
    Doors 
    tapes 

    And 
    it 
    was 
    dark 

    So 
    dark 
    at 
    night 

    And 
    we 
    held 
    onto 
    each 
    other 

    Like 
    brother 
    to 
    brother 

    We 
    promised 
    our 
    mothers 
    we'd 
    write 

    Chorus 1
    And 
    we 
    would 
    all 
    go 
    down 
    to
    gether 

    We 
    said 
    we'd 
    all 
    go 
    down 

    to
    gether 

    Yes, 
    we 
    would 
    all 
    go 
    down 

    to
    gether 


    Verse 5
    Remember 
    Charlie 

    Re
    mem
    ber 
    Baker 

    They 
    left 
    their 
    childhood 

    On 
    eve
    ry 
    acre 

    And 
    who 
    was 
    wrong? 

    And 
    who 
    was 
    right? 

    It 
    didn't 
    matter 

    In 
    the 
    thick 
    of 
    the 
    fight 

    Bridge 1
    We 
    held 
    the 
    day 

    In 
    the 
    palm 
    of 
    our 
    hands 

    They 
    ruled 
    the 
    nights 

    And 
    the 
    nights 
    seemed 
    to 
    last 

    Verse 6
    As 
    long 
    as 
    six 
    weeks 

    On 
    Parris 
    Island 

    We 
    held 
    the 
    coastline 

    They 
    held 
    the 
    highland 

    And 
    they 
    were 
    sharp 

    As 
    sharp 
    as 
    knives 

    They 
    heard 
    the 
    hum 
    of 
    the 
    motors 

    They 
    counted 
    the 
    rotors 

    And 
    waited 
    for 
    us 
    to 
    ar
    rive 

    Chorus 2
    And 
    we 
    would 
    all 
    go 
    down 
    to
    gether 

    We 
    said 
    we'd 
    all 
    go 
    down 

    to
    gether 

    Yes, 
    we 
    would 
    all 
    go 
    down 
    to

    Outro 1
    (gether)

    • 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.
