    Verse 1
    Well, 
    it was 
    last 
    Sunday 
    evening 

    was 
    sittin' 
    by 
    my 
    window 

    Watchin' 
    the 
    sun 
    goin' 
    down 

    Baby 
    came 
    and 
    sat 
    next 
    to 
    me 

    Said, 
    Daddy, 
    I've 
    got 
    news 
    for 
    you 

    They're 
    taking 
    girls 
    in 
    their arms 

    And 
    I'm 
    going 

    But 
    don't 
    know 
    what 
    else 
    to do 

    She 
    said, 
    just 
    can't 

    Stand 
    to 
    sit 
    around 
    this 
    crazy 

    old 
    town 
    no 
    more 

    Since 
    that 
    little 
    baby 
    shot 
    dead 

    down 
    on 
    the 
    second 
    floor 

    And 
    what 
    about 
    that 
    poor 
    old 
    lady 

    Crippled 
    in 
    a police 
    raid 

    Well, 
    if 
    I get 
    killed 
    in a 
    battle 

    At 
    least I 
    get paid 

    When 
    that 
    plane 
    took 
    off 
    this mornin' 

    just 
    waved 
    bye 
    -bye 

    Cause 
    my 
    baby 
    is 
    joining 

    the 
    army y 
    'all 

    There's 
    nothing 
    can do 

    There's 
    nothing 
    can 
    do 
    but 
    cry 

    She 
    said, 
    Daddy, 
    I've 
    seen 
    hatred 

    And 
    ain't 
    scared 
    of 
    God, 
    no 

    So 
    if 
    we're 
    going over 
    to 
    Iraq 

    You 
    know 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    run, 
    no 

    They 
    say 
    we 
    must 
    protect 

    our 
    homeland 
    now 

    Get 
    the 
    job 
    done 
    right, 

    that 
    way 
    it 
    can 
    help 
    make 
    these 
    streets, 

    safe 
    to walk 
    around 
    at 
    night. 

    Your 
    momma's 
    been 
    gone, 
    baby, 

    two 
    years, 
    right 
    today 

    And 
    thank 
    God 
    she's 
    not 
    here 
    to 
    see 

    you 
    living 
    home 
    this 
    way 

    Family 
    and 
    your pride 
    is all 

    man 
    like 
    me 
    got 
    left 

    won't 
    be 
    there 
    to 
    watch 
    your 
    back 

    You 
    better 
    take 
    care 
    of 

    yourself 

    Well 
    it 
    was 
    five 
    o 'clock 
    in 
    the morning 

    My 
    baby 
    got 
    on 
    board 

    Like 
    blind 
    man 
    walked 
    the 
    street, 

    found 
    my 
    way 
    back 
    home 

    Tears 
    were 
    running 
    from 
    my 
    eyes, 

    full 
    of 
    misery 

    pray, 
    Lord 
    have 
    mercy 

    Send 
    her back 
    safe 
    to 
    me 

    When 
    the 
    plane 
    took 
    off 
    this 
    morning 

    You 
    know 
    just 
    stood 
    and 
    waved 
    bye 
    bye 

    Cry, 
    my 
    baby, 
    she's 
    joining 
    the 
    army 

    An
    there 
    was nothing 
    could 
    do, 

    noth
    ing 

    Nothing I 
    could 
    do 
    but 
    cry 

    The 
    plane 
    pulled 
    off 
    this 
    morning 

    Nothin' 
    could 
    do 
    but 

    cry 

    Nothin' 
    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.
