    We 
    are 
    the folk 
    song 
    army 
    Verse 1

    Every 
    one 
    of 
    us 
    cares 

    We 
    all 
    hate 
    poverty, 
    war, 
    and injustice 

    Unlike 
    the 
    rest 
    of you squares 

    There are 
    Verse 2
    innocuous 
    folk 
    songs, 
    yeah 

    But 
    we 
    regard 
    'em with 
    scorn 

    The 
    folks 
    who 
    sing 
    'em have 

    no social 
    conscience 

    Why, 
    they don't even 
    care 

    if 
    Jimmy 
    Crack 
    Corn 

    If 
    you 
    feel 
    Verse 3
    dissat
    isfac
    tion 

    Strum 
    your frustrations 
    away 

    Some 
    people 
    may 
    prefer 
    action 

    But 
    give me 
    a 
    folk 
    song 
    any old 
    day 

    The 
    tune 
    don't 
    have 
    to be clever 
    Verse 4

    And 
    it 
    don't 
    matter 
    if you put 
    a couple 

    extra 
    syllables 
    into 
    a line 

    It 
    sounds 
    more 
    ethnic 
    if 

    it ain't 
    good 
    English 

    And 
    it 
    don't 
    even 
    gotta 
    rhyme 
    (excuse me, 

    rhyne) 

    Remember 
    the war 
    against 
    Franco? 
    Verse 5

    That's 
    the kind 
    where each 

    of us 
    be
    longs 

    Though 
    he may 
    have won 
    all 
    the 
    battles 

    We 
    had all 
    the good 
    song
    s 

    Verse 6
    So 
    join 
    in 
    the folk 
    song 
    army 

    Gui
    tars 
    are 
    the weapons 
    we 
    bring 

    To 
    the 
    fight 
    against 
    poverty, 

    war, 
    and 
    injustice 

    Ready, 
    aim, 
    sing

      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 🙂

      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.
