    • Verse 1
    Only 
    last 
    June 
    he 
    got 
    his 
    diploma 

    In 
    just 
    a 
    short 
    while 
    trainin' 

    in Oklahoma 

    Learn
    in' 
    to shoot, 
    to salute, 

    shine 
    a 
    boot 

    Takin' 
    or
    ders, 
    fixin' 
    mortars, 

    guardin' 
    our 
    borders 

    He 
    was 
    only 
    a 
    boy, 

    but 
    had 
    a man's 
    job 
    to 
    do, 

    will
    ing 
    to 
    die 
    for 
    me, 
    for 
    you. 

    Set 
    sail 
    for Vietnam, 

    to 
    help 
    out 
    our 
    nation, 

    trying 
    to 
    put 
    down 
    the 
    red 
    infiltration. 

    Fight
    in' 
    in 
    trenches, 

    out 
    in drenches 
    and 
    stenches 

    Shootin' 
    headlong 
    at 
    a 
    throng 

    of 
    yet 
    cong 

    He 
    was 
    only 
    a 
    boy 

    but 
    had 
    a 
    man's 
    job 
    to 
    do 

    Will
    ing 
    to 
    die 
    not 
    just 
    for 
    me 
    but 
    for 
    you 

    He 
    thought 
    about 
    his 
    folks, 

    he 
    sure 
    missed 
    his 
    girl 

    As 
    bul
    lets 
    and 
    shells 
    around 

    him 
    star
    ted 
    to 
    swirl 

    One 
    ripped 
    through 
    his 
    shirt, 

    blood 
    spurred, 
    man 
    it 
    hurt 

    He 
    spun 
    around, 
    fell 
    face 
    down, 

    head 
    to 
    the ground 

    He 
    was 
    only 
    a 
    boy 
    but 
    had 

    a man's 
    job 
    to 
    do, 

    willing 
    to 
    die 
    for 
    me, 
    for 
    you. 

    So 
    his 
    parents 
    got 
    a medal, 

    so 
    his 
    girl 
    got 
    his 
    ring, 

    but 
    to 
    his 
    country 
    he 
    left 

    one 
    very 
    spe
    cial 
    thing. 

    He 
    helped 
    people 
    stay 
    free 

    from 
    the 
    misery 
    of 
    tyranny 

    Yeah, 
    he 
    died 
    without 
    fright 
    in 
    a 
    fight

    That 
    he 
    knew 
    was 
    right 

    He 
    was 
    only 
    a 
    boy 

    that 
    had 
    a man's 
    job 
    to 
    do 

    Will
    ing 
    to 
    die, 
    not 
    just 
    for me, 
    but 
    for 
    you 
    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

      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.
