    Verse 1
    If 
    I 
    were 
    only 
    a 
    child 
    again 

    No 
    one's 
    ever 
    been, 
    oh, 

    good 
    to 
    me 
    since 
    then 

    Everywhere 
    I looked 
    it 

    seemed 
    so 
    color 
    bright 

    There 
    were 
    never 
    such 
    things 
    to me 

    as 
    black 
    and white 

    Verse 2

    Re
    member 
    when 
    we 
    were part 

    of 
    that 
    special 
    few 

    Everything 
    it 
    seemed 
    was 

    so 
    pure 
    and 
    true 

    I guess 
    we were 
    just 
    too 

    young 
    to 
    understand 

    The 
    unselfish 
    cause 
    of 
    death 
    and war 

    and 
    roles 
    of man 

    Verse 3

    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a child 

    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a child 

    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a 
    child 

    Verse 4
    Only 
    a 
    child 
    again, 
    hey, 
    hey 


    If 
    I 
    were 
    only 
    a child 
    again 

    I would 
    never 
    want 
    to 
    venture 

    life 
    like 
    this 
    again 

    People 
    of the 
    world 
    hurling 

    sticks 
    and 
    stones 

    Like 
    the sore 
    fates 
    of 
    one 
    come 

    up 
    and break 
    my 
    bones 

    Verse 5
    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a 
    child 

    Verse 6

    If 
    I 
    were 
    only 
    a 
    child 
    again 

    And 
    have 
    the ability 
    to 
    understand 

    I'd speak 
    for 
    little 
    people 

    from 
    the 
    date 
    of 
    birth 

    And 
    ask 
    the grown 
    ups, 

    when 
    will 
    there 
    be 
    peace 
    on 
    earth? 

    Verse 7
    Grown 
    ups, 
    when 
    will 
    there 

    be 
    peace 
    on 
    earth? 

    Brother, 
    when 
    will 
    there 

    be 
    peace 
    on 
    earth? 

    Verse 8
    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a 
    child 

    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a child 

    Only, 
    only, 
    only 
    a child 

    Only 
    a child 
    again, 
    hey, 
    hey

      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.
