For Syngman Rhee and Stalin,

They saved their biggest fireworks

till the marine reserves came through

And all we got was a crock of turds

from you and you and you
G

The mortars were terrific

and the small arms were intense
G

The flyboys bombed the front lines
D

and the gobs stood on the fence
A

The regulars took the desk jobs,
D

the reserves were called en masse

And they knew that the marine reserves

Then Congress sent a tour around

While they were really livin',

we had forties up the crotch

They cried, let's kill the bastards,

let's drive them to their knees

We love you dear old U .S .A.

That's why we joined the dam reserved

And we won't cry or squawk

because we're fighting all alone

Someday the regulars may come

and then we'll all go home

I'm going to raise a family

when this cruel war is through

I hope I'll have a bouncing boy

But if someday when he grows up

he joins the Marine Reserve

I'll kick his ass from dawn to dusk,

cause that's what he'll

deserve

  • 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.
