    • Verse 1
    When 
    I 
    was 
    born 
    my 
    grandfather 
    held 

    me 
    in 
    his warm 
    hands 

    And it 
    seems 
    though 
    his 

    eyes 
    are 
    teary 

    But it's 
    hard to 
    tell 
    from 
    an old 

    photo
    graph 

    While my 
    brother 
    and 
    sister 
    danced 
    at 

    the feet 
    of his 
    tired 
    and 
    weathered 
    frame 

    He 
    said 
    there's 
    a light 
    to this 

    boy 
    I've rarely 
    seen 

    And 
    there 
    he 
    gave 
    me 
    my 
    name 

    Verse 2
    Well my 
    grandfather 
    was 
    a sniper

    In 
    the 
    Red 
    Army 

    He never 
    knew 
    brothers 
    in 
    arms 

    from 
    on both 
    side 
    stood 
    enemy 

    Will 
    the cold 
    unbroken 
    will 
    to 
    survive 

    His 
    steady 
    hand 
    took 
    care 

    And 
    he 
    drank 
    just 
    enough 

    to 
    keep 
    himsel
    f warm 

    For 
    he nev
    er spoke 
    his 
    true 
    name 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    (Humming) 

    When I 
    was 
    a boy, 

    the sum
    mers 
    were 
    out

    He would 
    take 
    me 
    down 
    to 
    the 
    sea 

    And 
    standing 
    on 
    the water 
    edge 

    And watch 
    me 
    go 
    crazy 

    As 
    the 
    gentle 
    waves 
    rolled 
    in 

    Lookin' 
    back 
    I wonder 
    how 

    he 
    must 
    have felt 

    Watching 
    me 
    running 
    so 
    free 

    All the 
    years 
    in his 
    life 

    he wished 
    he 
    could forget 

    Did 
    he 
    look 
    at 
    the world 
    through 
    me? 

    Verse 4

    (Humming) 

    When I 
    was 
    a man 
    I flew 

    across 
    the Ocean 

    When 
    I 
    heard 
    he 
    needed 
    care 

    I 
    listened 
    as 
    he spoke 
    of 
    his 
    turbulent 
    life 

    From 
    his ordin
    ary 
    chair 

    And 
    he ended 
    by 
    saying 

    "Oh, 
    I've 
    had 
    enough 

    The 
    time 
    has come 
    for 
    me 
    to 
    go 

    I have 
    only 
    one 
    wish 

    That 
    is left 
    in 
    me 

    To be 
    taken 
    peace
    fully" 

    Interlude 2


    (Humming) 
    Just before 
    I 
    was 
    Verse 5

    due 
    to marry 

    I heard 
    he 
    could 
    not 
    walk 
    any
    more 

    It was 
    then 
    he gave 
    up 
    fight

    I 
    had said 
    good
    bye 

    Almost 
    one 
    year 
    be
    fore 

    And 
    I'll 
    never 
    forget 

    something 
    he 
    told 
    me 

    "Yes 
    it's 
    a cruel 
    world, 

    but 
    you must 
    live 
    without 
    fear" 

    Well I 
    sure 
    do 
    miss 
    my 
    grand
    father 

    He's 
    the 
    reas
    on 
    why 

    I'm 
    here

      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.
