    It's 
    gonna 
    be a 
    Verse 1
    long 
    one, 

    another 
    graveyard 
    shift 

    As he 
    says 
    goodbye 
    to his 

    wife 
    and 
    kids 

    He 
    spent his 
    life 
    just 
    like 
    his 
    dad's 

    Driving 
    away 
    under 
    the 

    weight 
    of the 
    badge 

    Verse 2
    He's 
    seen 
    it all 
    in 
    his fifteen 
    years 

    Watching 
    our 
    backs, 
    facing 
    our 
    fears 

    Lord 
    knows 
    it ain't 
    no 
    easy 
    task 

    Keeping 
    us 
    safe 
    under 
    the 

    weight 
    of the 
    badge 

    Verse 3
    He swore 
    that 
    oath 
    to 

    protect 
    and 
    serve 

    Pours his 
    heart 
    and 
    soul 

    into 
    both 
    those 
    words 

    Lays 
    his 
    life 
    on 
    the 
    line 

    The line 
    he walks 
    is razor 
    fine 

    Tempered 
    strength 
    is always 
    tough 

    But he 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    buckle 

    Under the 
    weight 
    of the 
    badge 

    Verse 4
    Not 
    that 
    long 
    ago 
    he woke 

    up 
    in 
    the hospital 

    With 
    his wife 
    and kids 
    praying 
    by 
    his 
    bed 

    He 
    said, "I'm 
    gonna 
    be 
    alright, 

    there's 
    just 
    sometimes 
    you 
    gotta 
    fight" 

    And the truth 
    is 
    nothing 
    truer 
    could 
    be 
    said 

    do it 
    for 
    us 
    and I 
    do it 
    for them 

    And I 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    buckle 
    under 
    the 
    weight 

    of the 
    badge 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    It 
    doesn't 
    weigh 
    a lot 
    un

    til 
    you 
    put it 
    on 

    And the 
    weight 
    of it 
    is staggering 

    Then 
    duty 
    call
    each 
    time 

    He 
    knows 
    he's 
    got 
    to answer 

    And it's 
    all 
    in 
    the handling 
    the weight 

    Oh, 
    the heavy 
    weight 
    of 
    the badge 

    And he 
    ain't 
    gonna 
    buckle 

    Under 
    the 
    weight 
    of the badge 

    No, 
    he ain't 
    gonna 
    buckle 

    Under 
    the 
    weight 
    of 
    the 
    badge

    • 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.
