    • Verse 1
    I'm 
    writing 
    this 
    down 

    in 
    a 
    trench 
    mon 

    Don't 
    scold 
    if 
    it 
    isn't 
    so 
    neat 

    The 
    way 
    that 
    you 
    did, 

    when 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    kid 

    When 
    I'd 
    come 
    home 

    with 
    mud 
    on 
    my 
    feet 

    Verse 2
    The 
    captain 
    just 
    gave 
    us 
    our 
    orders 

    And 
    mom 
    we 
    must 
    carry 
    them 
    through 

    I'll 
    finish 
    this 
    letter 
    the first 
    chance 
    I 
    get 

    But 
    for 
    now 
    I'll 
    just 
    say 
    I 
    love 
    you 

    Verse 3
    Then 
    the 
    mothers 
    old 
    hands 

    began 
    to 
    tremble 

    And 
    she 
    fought 
    back 
    the 
    tears 
    in 
    her 
    eyes 

    But 
    they 
    came 
    unashamed, 

    for 
    there 
    was 
    no 
    blame 

    And 
    she 
    knew 
    that 
    her 
    soldier 
    had 
    died 

    Verse 4
    Then 
    the mother 
    knelt 
    down 
    by 
    her 
    bedside 

    And 
    she 
    prayed 
    Lord 

    above 
    hear 
    my 
    plea 

    Please 
    protect 
    all 
    the 
    boys 
    who 

    are 
    fighting 
    tonight

    • 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.”
