    • Verse 1
    They 
    were 
    summoned 

    from 
    the 
    hillside 

    They were 
    called 
    in 
    from 
    the glen, 

    And 
    the country 
    found 
    them 
    ready 

    At 
    the 
    stirring call 
    for men. 

    Let 
    no tears 
    add to 
    their 
    hardships 

    As 
    the soldiers 
    pass 
    along, 

    And although 
    your 
    heart 
    is 
    break
    ing 

    Make 
    it sing 
    this 
    cheery 
    song 

    Verse 2
    Keep 
    the 
    Home 
    Fires 
    Burn
    ing, 

    While 
    your 
    hearts 
    are 
    yearning, 

    Though 
    your 
    lads 
    are far 
    away 

    They 
    dream 
    of 
    home. 

    There's 
    a 
    silver 
    lining 

    Through 
    the 
    dark 
    clouds 
    shining, 

    Turn 
    the dark 
    cloud 
    inside 
    out 

    'Til 
    the boys 
    come 
    home. 

    Verse 3
    Overseas 
    there 
    came 
    a pleading, 

    "Help 
    a 
    nation 
    in 
    distress." 

    And 
    we 
    gave 
    our glorious 
    laddies 

    Honour 
    bade us 
    do no 
    less, 

    For 
    no 
    gallant 
    son 
    of 
    freedom 

    To a tyrant's 
    yoke 
    should bend, 

    And 
    a 
    noble 
    heart 
    must 
    answer 

    To the 
    sacred 
    call 
    of 

    "Friend." 


    Verse 4
    Keep 
    the 
    Home 
    Fires 
    Burning, 

    While 
    your 
    hearts 
    are 
    yearning, 

    Though 
    your 
    lads 
    are far 
    away 

    They 
    dream 
    of 
    home. 

    There's 
    a 
    silver 
    lining 

    Through the 
    dark 
    clouds 

    shining, 

    Turn the 
    dark 
    cloud 
    inside 
    out 

    'Til 
    the boys 
    come 
    home.

      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 🙂

      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.
