    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    Never 
    talk 
    about 
    those first 
    days 

    Lots 
    of friends 
    left 
    behind 

    But 
    I made 
    it 
    all 
    the way 

    across 
    France 

    And I 
    fought 
    at 
    the Maginot 
    line 

    Road 
    a tank 
    into 
    Bel
    gium 

    Like 
    them 
    better 
    than 
    the French 

    Like 
    my 
    daddy, 
    thirty 
    years 
    be
    fore 

    did 
    my 
    time 
    in 
    a trench 

    Lots 
    of days 
    there's 
    no 
    wa
    ter 

    But 
    the liquor 
    kept me 
    warm 

    The 
    cellars 
    were 
    stocked 

    to the 
    ceiling 
    with booze 

    So I 
    carried 
    a bottle 
    with my 
    gun 

    Verse 4
    The 
    preacher 
    said 
    “Boys he 
    who 
    is killed 
    tonight 

    will 
    dine 
    with 
    the Lord 
    in 
    Paradis
    e” 

    One boy spoke 
    up
    said 
    “preacher come 
    on, 

    eat 
    your 
    sup
    per 
    with 
    us” 

    Three times 
    I made 
    ser
    Verse 5
    geant 

    I'm 
    not 
    that 
    kind 
    of man 

    And pretty 
    much 
    just 
    as 
    quick 
    as 
    could 

    I get 
    busted 
    back 
    to private 
    again 

    Cause takin' 
    or
    ders 
    never 
    suited 
    me 

    Giving 
    them 
    out 
    was much 
    worse 

    could 
    not 
    stand 
    to get 

    my 
    friends 
    killed 

    So I 
    took 
    care 
    of my
    self 
    first 

    Now I 
    know 
    that don't 
    sound 
    right 

    Don't 
    think 
    too 
    bad 
    of me 

    Now 
    it keeps 
    me 
    up 
    nights 

    What I 
    could 
    have done 
    differently 

    Verse 6
    The 
    preacher 
    said 
    “Boys he 
    who 
    is killed 
    tonight 

    will 
    dine 
    with 
    the Lord 
    in 
    Para
    dise.” 

    One boy spoke 
    up
    said 
    “preacher come 
    on, 

    eat 
    your 
    supper 
    with 
    us” 

    I'd 
    be no 
    guest 
    at 
    the 
    Verse 7
    table 
    of 
    the Lord 

    His 
    food 
    was not 
    to be 
    mine 

    ‘Cause I cursed 
    His name 

    every 
    chance 
    that I 
    could 

    And 
    re
    con 
    that's 
    why 
    I'm 

    still 
    alive

    • 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.
