    Verse 1
    D

    Well, it was last Sunday evening
    A

    I was sittin' by my window

    Watchin' the sun goin' down
    D

    Baby came and sat next to me

    Said, Daddy, I've got news for you
    G

    They're taking girls in their arms

    And I'm going
    A

    But I don't know what else to do
    D

    She said, I just can't

    Stand to sit around this crazy

    old town no more
    G

    Since that little baby shot dead

    down on the second floor
    D

    And what about that poor old lady
    A
    D

    Crippled in a police raid
    G

    Well, if I get killed in a battle
    A

    At least I get paid
    D

    When that plane took off this mornin'

    I just waved bye -bye
    Em
    D

    Cause my baby is joining

    the army y 'all
    G

    There's nothing I can do
    A
    D
    A
    D

    There's nothing I can do but cry
    A
    D

    She said, Daddy, I've seen hatred

    And I ain't scared of God, no
    A

    So if we're going over to Iraq
    G

    You know I ain't gonna run, no
    D

    They say we must protect

    our homeland now

    Get the job done right,
    Em
    D

    that way it can help make these streets,
    G
    A

    safe to walk around at night.
    G
    A

    Your momma's been gone, baby,
    G
    A

    two years, right today
    G
    E

    And I thank God she's not here to see
    G

    you living home this way

    Family and your pride is all
    E

    A man like me got left

    I won't be there to watch your back

    You better take care of
    A
    D
    A
    D
    A

    yourself
    D

    Well it was five o 'clock in the morning

    My baby got on board
    G

    Like a blind man I walked the street,
    A
    D

    found my way back home

    Tears were running from my eyes,

    full of misery
    G

    I pray, Lord have mercy
    A

    Send her back safe to me
    D

    When the plane took off this morning

    You know I just stood and waved bye bye
    Em
    D

    Cry, my baby, she's joining the army
    G

    And there was nothing I could do,
    D

    nothing
    A
    D
    A

    Nothin' I could do but
    A
    D
    A
    D

    cry

    Nothin' I could do, no you

    • 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.
