    Well 
    with buck 
    shot 
    eyes 
    Verse 1
    and 
    a purple 
    heart 

    rolled 
    down 
    the national 
    stroll 

    And 
    with a big 
    fat 
    paycheck 

    strapped 
    to my 
    hip 
    sack 

    And a shore 
    leave wristwatch 

    underneath 
    my 
    sleeve 

    In 
    a Hong 
    Kong 
    drizzle 
    on Cuban 
    heels 

    I rolled 
    down 
    the gutter 
    to the Blood 
    Bank 

    And 
    I'd 
    left 
    all 
    my 
    papers 

    on the Ticonderoga 

    And I 
    was in 
    bad 
    need 
    of a shave 

    And I slopped 
    at the corner 

    on 
    cold 
    chow 
    mein 

    And 
    shot 
    billards with a midget 
    until 

    the rain 
    stopped 

    And I bought 
    a long- 
    sleeved 
    shirt 

    with horses 
    on the 
    front 

    And 
    some gum 
    an
    d a lighter 
    and 
    a knife 

    And a 
    new deck 
    of cards 
    with 

    girls 
    on 
    the back 

    And I sat 
    down 
    and wrote 

    a letter 
    to 
    my 
    wife 

    And I 
    said 
    baby, 

    I'm 
    so 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    And 
    I miss 
    my 
    baby 
    so 

    Well, I 
    can't 
    make 
    it 
    by myself 

    love 
    you so 

    And 
    I was 
    pacing 
    myself 

    Trying 
    to make 
    it all 
    last 

    Squeezing 
    all the life 
    out of 

    a lousy- 
    two 
    day 
    pass 

    And 
    had 
    a cold 
    one 
    at the 
    Dragon 

    With some 
    Filipino 
    floor 
    show 

    And 
    I talked 
    baseball 
    with 
    a lieutenant 

    over a 
    Singapore 
    sling 

    And 
    I wondered 
    how 
    the same 
    moon 
    outside 

    over this 
    Chinatown 
    fair 

    Could look 
    down 
    on Illinois 

    And find 
    you there 

    And you 
    know I 
    love 
    you 
    baby 

    And I'm 
    so 
    far 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    I'm 
    so 
    far 
    away 
    from home 

    And 
    miss 
    my 
    baby 
    so 

    can't 
    make 
    it 
    by myself 

    love 
    you so

    • 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.
