  • Verse 1
    think 
    sir 
    the 
    battle 
    is 
    over 

    And the 
    young 
    soldier 
    laid 
    down 
    his 
    gun 

    I'm 
    tired 
    of running 
    for 
    cover 

    I'm 
    certain 
    the battle 
    is 
    done 

    Verse 2
    Or 
    see 
    over 
    there 
    where 

    we 
    fought 
    them 

    It's quiet 
    for 
    they've 
    all 
    gone 
    away 

    All 
    left 
    is 
    the dead 
    and 
    the dying 

    The blue 
    lying 
    alongside 
    the 
    gray 

    Verse 3

    So 
    you 
    think 
    the 
    battle 
    is 
    over 

    And 
    you 
    even 
    lay 
    down 
    your 
    gun 

    You 
    carelessly 
    rise 
    from 
    you 
    cover 

    For 
    you 
    think 
    the 
    battle 
    is 
    done 

    Verse 4

    Now 
    boy 
    hit 
    the 
    dirt 
    listen 
    to 
    me 

    For 
    I'm 
    still 
    the 
    one 
    in 
    com
    mand 

    Get 
    flat 
    on 
    the 
    ground 
    here 
    beside 
    me 

    And 
    lay 
    your 
    ear 
    hard 
    to 
    the 
    sand 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 5
    Can 
    you 
    hear 
    the 
    deafening 
    rumble? 

    Can 
    you 
    feel 
    the 
    trembling 
    ground? 

    It's 
    not 
    just 
    the 
    horses 
    and 
    wagons 

    That 
    make 
    such 
    a deafening 
    sound 

    Verse 6

    For 
    every 
    shot 
    fired 
    had 
    an 
    echo 

    And 
    every 
    man 
    killed 
    wanted 
    life 

    There 
    lies 
    your 
    friend 
    Jim 
    McCany 

    Can 
    you 
    take 
    the 
    news 
    to 
    his 
    wife 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 7
    No 
    son 
    the battle's 
    not 
    over 

    The 
    battle 
    has 
    only 
    be
    gun 

    The 
    rest 
    of 
    the 
    battle 
    will 
    cover 

    The 
    part 
    that 
    has 
    blackened 
    the sun

    Verse 8
    The 
    fight 
    yet 
    to 
    come's 
    not 
    with 
    cannon 

    Nor 
    will 
    the 
    fight 
    be 
    hand 
    to 
    hand 

    No 
    one 
    will 
    regroup the 
    forces 

    No 
    charge 
    will 
    a general 
    command 

    Verse 9
    The 
    battle 
    will 
    rage 
    in 
    the 
    bosom 

    Of 
    mother 
    and 
    sweetheart 
    and 
    wife 

    Brother 
    and 
    sister 
    and 
    daughter 

    Will 
    grieve 
    for 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    their 
    lives 

    Verse 10

    Now 
    go 
    ahead 
    rise 
    from 
    your 
    cover 

    Be 
    thankful 
    that 
    God 
    let 
    you 
    live 

    Go 
    fight 
    the 
    rest 
    of 
    the 
    battle 

    For 
    those 
    who 
    gave 
    all 
    they 
    could 
    give 

    Interlude 3

    Verse 11
    see 
    sir 
    the 
    battle's 
    not 
    over 

    The 
    battle 
    has 
    only 
    be
    gun 

    The 
    rest 
    of 
    this 
    battle 
    will 
    cover 

    This 
    part 
    that 
    has 
    blackened 
    the 
    sun

    Verse 12
    For 
    though 
    there's 
    no 

    sound 
    of the 
    can
    non 

    And 
    though 
    there's 
    no 

    smoke 
    in 
    he 
    sky 

    I'm 
    dropping 
    the 
    gun 
    and 
    the saber 

    And 
    ready 
    for 
    the battle 
    am

    • 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.
