    Verse 1
    I miss 

    my old 
    man 
    tonight 

    And 
    I wish 
    he 
    was here 
    with me 

    With his 
    corny 
    jokes, 
    and his 
    cheap 
    cigars 

    He 
    could look you 
    in the 
    eye, and 

    sell 
    you a 
    car 

    That’s not 
    an easy 
    thing 
    to 
    do 

    but 
    no one 
    ever 
    knew 

    A more 
    charming 
    creature 
    on this 
    earth 

    Than 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    Verse 2
    He was 
    a pilot 
    in 
    the big 
    war 

    In the 
    US 
    Army 
    Air Corp 

    In a C- 
    47, with 
    a heavy 
    load 

    Carrying 
    combat 
    cargo 

    o’er Burma 
    Road 

    And after 
    they dropped 
    the bomb 

    he 
    came home 
    and 
    married 
    mom 

    And not 
    too long 
    after 
    that 

    He 
    was 
    my 
    old 
    man 

    Verse 3
    An


    oh 
    the fight
    that 
    we had 

    When my 
    brother 
    and me 

    got him 
    mad 

    He’d get all 
    boiled 
    up, 

    and 
    start 
    to shout 

    We knew 
    what 
    was coming, 

    so 
    we 
    tuned 
    him 
    out 

    And 
    now 
    the old 
    man 
    is gone 

    and 
    I’d give 
    all 
    I own 

    Just 
    to 
    hear what 
    he said, 

    when 
    wasn’t listing 

    To my 
    old 
    man 

    Verse 4

    miss my 
    old 
    man 
    tonight 

    I can 
    almost 
    see 
    his 
    face 

    He 
    was always 
    trying 
    to watch 
    his 
    weight 

    His 
    heart 
    only 
    made 
    it 
    to 
    fifty- 
    eight 

    For 
    the first 
    time 
    since 
    he died, 

    late last 
    night 
    cried 

    I was 
    wondering 
    when 

    I was gonna 
    go and 
    do that 

    For my 
    old 
    man

    • 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.
