    • Verse 1

    Rough 

    him up 
    and shove 
    him down 

    Make him 
    cry 
    when he comes 
    'round 

    Treat 
    him any way 
    you 
    want 

    After 
    all 
    he's just 
    runt, 
    just a little 
    runt 

    Verse 2
    Runt 
    is what they called 
    him 

    But his name 
    was 
    Buddy Grey 

    He 
    lived out on 
    Maple Street 

    'Bout a mile 
    away 

    Verse 3
    Hand- me- downs 
    were 
    all he 
    wore 

    Poverty 
    and nothing 
    more 

    Always 
    someone 
    laying for 
    ? the runt 

    Verse 4
    They 
    catch him in the school 

    year 

    When he came 
    out to play 

    Then 
    get him in a circle 

    Where he couldn't 
    get away 

    They'd shove 
    him here 
    And they'd 
    Verse 5

    shove him there 

    If he fell 
    down, 
    nobody 
    cared 

    Just 
    anything 
    to keep 

    him scared 
    - the runt 

    Verse 6
    Then one 
    day 
    walking 

    home from school 

    The teasing 
    went just 
    too far 

    They 
    chased the 
    runt out 
    in the street 

    Nobody 
    saw the car 

    They 
    Verse 7
    only heard 
    that awful 
    sound 

    They saw 
    the broken 
    body on the 
    ground 

    Then every
    body 
    gathered around 

    - the runt 

    Verse 8
    They buried 
    him on Sunday 

    His 
    classmates 
    all 
    were there 

    And the tears 
    filled each 
    every 
    eye 

    When 
    runt's mother 
    said a prayer 

    Lord, 
    Verse 9
    even though 
    you've 
    taken him 

    I think 
    I understand 

    He's 
    finished 
    the 
    job 

    you've sent him for 

    Verse 10
    And 
    done it like 
    you planned 

    If 
    you made all 
    people to 

    look the same 

    It just 
    wouldn't be 
    right I guess 

    So 
    you put a few 
    now and then, 

    like 
    my runt 

    To bring 
    other
    s' happiness 

    His shortness 
    makes others 
    feel 
    Verse 11

    tall 

    His weakness 
    makes others 
    feel strong 

    His features 
    make others 

    feel pretty 
    and handsome 

    And his 
    sadness 
    brings others 
    a 
    song 

    Verse 12
    So rough 
    him up 
    and 

    shove him 
    down 

    Make him cry 
    when he comes 
    'round 

    Treat 
    him any way 
    you want 

    But 
    thank God 
    for 
    the runt 

    Yes, 
    thank God 
    for my 

    little runt

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.

      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.
