    Well, 
    me name 
    is 

    Hoogie 

    McCormie, 
    and 
    me 
    father's 
    was 
    as well 

    Of 
    little 
    game 
    he 
    taught 
    me, 

    and 
    a story 
    will tell 

    We 
    had 
    lots 
    of little 
    soldiers, 

    and 
    as 
    sure 
    as a 
    day 
    would 
    come 

    We 
    sent 
    them 
    in 
    to 
    fightin' 

    and 
    defeatin' 
    of 
    drum 

    And 
    we 
    put 
    them all 
    up 
    on a 
    table, 

    and 
    we marched 
    them 
    all 
    around 

    Then 
    we 
    battered 
    them 
    with 
    our 
    cannonballs, 

    and we 
    watched 
    them 
    fall 
    down 

    We'd 
    lost 
    little cross 
    as 
    much 

    we 
    laid 
    upon 
    the 
    dead 

    And 
    we 
    patched 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    wounded 

    ones 
    and 
    sent 
    them 
    off 
    to 
    bed 

    Well 
    I went 
    on and 
    asked 
    me 

    neighbours 
    for 
    a nickel 
    or 
    a dime 

    To 
    help 
    me 
    buy 
    some 
    soldiers 

    just 
    while 
    away 
    me 
    time 

    They 
    were always 
    very 
    kindly 
    in 

    supply
    ing 
    me 
    with 
    gun

    Some 
    of them 
    even 
    let 
    me play 

    at sol
    diers 
    with 
    their 
    son

    So 
    brought 
    them all 
    up 
    on the 
    table 

    and 
    I marched 
    them 
    all 
    around 

    And 
    battered 
    them 
    with 
    my 
    cannonballs 

    and 
    I watched 
    them 
    falling 
    down 

    With 
    lots 
    of 
    little 
    crosses 
    which 

    we 
    laid 
    upon 
    the 
    dead 

    We 
    patched 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    wounded 

    ones 
    and 
    sent 
    them 
    off 
    to 
    bed 

    Well 
    whenever 
    went 
    to 
    the 
    shop 

    to 
    buy 
    me 
    guns 
    and 
    tanks 

    The 
    man 
    there 
    always 
    smiled, 

    patted 
    me 
    head 
    and whispered 
    thanks 

    If 
    it 
    wasn't 
    for 
    your 
    soldier 
    game, 

    don't 
    know 
    what 
    I'd 
    do 

    But 
    you 
    keep 
    me 
    business 
    busy, 

    son, 
    so 
    here's 
    an 
    extra 
    few 

    And 
    put 
    them all 
    up 
    on the 
    table 

    and 
    I marched 
    them 
    all 
    around 

    Then 
    battered 
    them 
    with 
    me 
    cannonballs 

    and watched 
    them 
    falling 
    down 

    We 
    got 
    the 
    little 
    crosses 
    which 

    we 
    laid 
    upon 
    the 
    dead 

    And 
    we 
    patched 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    wounded 

    ones 
    and 
    sent 
    them 
    off 
    to 
    bed 

    Oh, 
    one 
    day 
    bought 
    some 
    aeroplanes, 

    but 
    this 
    is what 
    found 

    When 
    sent 
    them 
    in 
    to fight 
    and 
    held 

    me 
    soldiers 
    on 
    the ground, 
    oh 

    They 
    bombed 
    up 
    every 
    soldier 
    and 

    they proved 
    terrible 
    flop 

    And 
    had 
    to 
    buy 
    another 
    hun

    dred 
    crosses 
    from 
    the 
    shop 

    An
    I put 
    them all 
    up 
    on the 
    table, 

    marched 
    them 
    all 
    around 

    And 
    battered 
    them 
    with 
    me 
    cannonballs 

    and we 
    watched 
    them 
    falling 
    down 

    With 
    lots 
    of 
    little 
    crosses 
    which 

    we 
    laid 
    upon 
    the 
    dead 

    We 
    patched 
    up 
    all 
    the 
    wounded 
    ones 

    and 
    sent 
    them 
    off 
    to 
    bed 

    Now 
    I'd 
    very 
    much 
    like 
    if 

    could teach 
    this 
    little 
    game 
    of 
    guns 

    To 
    me 
    fourteen 
    lovely 
    daughters 
    and 

    me seven 
    handsome 
    son

    But 
    the 
    man 
    in the 
    shop 
    he 
    gave 
    me a 
    bomb 

    that he 
    tucked 
    down 
    off 
    the 
    shelf 

    If 
    bomb 
    not 
    fall 
    me 
    neighbours 

    or 
    me 
    soldiers 
    and 
    meself

    • 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.
