    Verse 1
    Sam 
    Stone 

    came 
    home 

    To his 
    wife 
    and 
    family 

    After 
    serving 
    in 
    the conflict 
    overseas 

    Verse 2
    And 
    the time 
    that he 
    served 

    Had 
    shattered 
    all 
    his nerves 

    And 
    left 
    a little 
    shrapnel 
    in his 
    knees 

    Verse 3
    But 
    the 
    morphine 
    eased 
    the pain 

    And 
    the 
    grass 
    grew 
    'round 
    his brain 

    And 
    gave 
    him all 
    the confidence 
    he lacked 

    With 
    purple 
    heart 
    and 

    a monkey 
    on 
    his 
    back 

    Verse 4
    There's 
    hole 
    in 
    daddy's 
    arm 

    Where 
    all the 
    money 
    goes 

    Daddy's 
    muscles 
    hurt 
    a lot 

    back 
    then 
    suppose 

    Verse 5
    Little 
    pitchers 
    have 
    big 
    ears 

    Don't 
    stop 
    to count 
    the years 

    Sweet 
    songs 
    never 
    last 
    too long 

    On 
    broken 
    radios 

    Verse 6

    Sam 
    Stone's 
    welcome 
    home 

    Didn't last 
    too long 

    He 
    went 
    to work, 
    he'd 
    spent 
    his last 
    dim 

    Verse 7
    And 
    soon 
    he 
    took to 
    stealing 

    When he 
    got that 
    empty 
    feeling 

    For a 
    hundred 
    dollar 
    habit 
    without 
    overtime. 

    Verse 8
    And 
    the gold 
    roared 
    through his 
    veins 

    Like 
    thousand 
    railroad 
    trains, 

    And 
    eased 
    his mind 
    in the 

    hours 
    that 
    he chose, 

    While 
    the 
    kids 
    ran around 
    wearin' 

    other 
    peoples' 
    clothes... 

    There's 
    hole 
    in 
    daddy's 
    arm 

    where 
    all the 
    money 
    goes, 

    Daddy's 
    muscles 
    suffer 
    a lot 

    back 
    then 
    suppose 

    Little 
    pitchers 
    have 
    big 
    ears, 

    Don't stop 
    to count 
    the years, 

    Sweet 
    songs 
    never 
    last 
    too long 

    on 
    broken 
    radios. 

    Verse 9

    Sam 
    Stone 
    was 
    alone 

    When he 
    popped 
    his last 
    balloon, 

    Climbing 
    walls 
    while 
    sitting 

    in 
    a chair. 

    Well, he played 
    his last 
    request, 

    While 
    the 
    room smelled 
    just like 
    death, 

    With an 
    overdose 
    hovering 
    in 
    the 
    air

    Verse 10
    But 
    life 
    had lost 
    it's fun, 

    There was 
    nothing 
    to 
    be 
    done, 

    But trade 
    his house 
    that he 

    bought 
    on the GI 
    bill, 

    For 
    a flag- 
    draped 
    casket 
    on 

    a local 
    hero's 
    hill. 

    Verse 11
    There's 
    hole 
    in 
    daddy's 
    arm 

    where 
    all 
    the 
    money 
    goes, 

    Daddy's 
    muscles 
    suffer 
    a lot 

    back 
    then 
    suppose 

    Little 
    pitchers 
    have 
    big 
    ears, 

    Don't 
    stop 
    to count 
    the years, 

    Sweet 
    songs 
    never 
    last 
    too long 

    on 
    broken 
    radios.

    • 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.
