Am

Every

song I sing cuts a little bit more
Dm

You could never connect the copper
Em

cast with the mold

You could never guess,
Dm

you could never guess
Am

You could never guess where I come from,

no
Verse 2
Am
Dm

Every mile I drive, further down this road
Em

Tears a little more off of my bones

And you could never guess,
Dm

you could never guess
Am

You could never guess

where I come from, no
Verse 3
Am

The first thing they was taught,

was how to load and lock

Take that aim and shot,
Dm

embrace the pain of shoulder blade taking stock
Am

Watch em drop, pull the bolt back,
Em

load another up till the clip goes "pop"

Till you sweep your block,
Am

and you can hear a pin drop

In a place that's more comfortable

with "POP! POP! POP! POP!"
Verse 4
Am

The first thing they learned,
Dm

was how to plant that carbine in the earth

Prop that helmet on the stock,
Em

hang them dog tags from the lock
Dm

Say your prayers and mark the spot
Am

Where the body's interred then turn,

taciturn
Verse 5

And talk that walk, taste that salt
Am

Sprinkle a little bit of lye in the earth,

don't cry when it hurts
Dm

'Cause you ain't done yet son,

spill a little bit more blood

Everybody knows what comes

from the warm wet red mud
Em

Best I believe,

when you fall to your knees
Dm

You're gonna cry,

you'll pray for peace
Am

And they gonna plant them seeds

of the winter wheat

And the Georgia peach watered

up with your red rum
Verse 6
Am
Dm

Every song I sing cuts a little bit more

You could never connect the
Em

copper cast with the mold

You could never guess,
Dm

you could never guess
Am

You could never guess where I come from,

no
Verse 7
Am
Dm

Every mile I drive, further down this road

Tears a little more off of my bones
Em

And you could never guess,
Dm

you could never guess
Am

You could never guess where I come from, no
Verse 8
Am

I know he would've loved this,

but he had to die to give it
Dm

I melted down his musket,

turned it to a tool
Em
Dm

Tilling like a fool to see

where his blood went
Am

See if I can grow something

beautiful above it
Verse 9
Am

Standing guard above my garden
Dm

till the seeds take root

Taking shade under the trees

with the sweet grapefruit
Em
Dm

I'll take my yield and his old
Am

boots till the leaves shake loose

I will die in these fields,

but my seeds will move
Verse 10
Am

The ox and yoke know every

note I hum
Dm

Written in the grass by the midday sun
Em
Dm

The lamp lit ahead of me with
Am

the earth between my feet

I'll sing a song into the breeze,

let it fold the wheat
Verse 11
Am

Every song I sing cuts a little bit more
Dm

You could never connect

the copper cast with the mold

You could never guess,

you could never guess
Am

You could never guess where I come from,

no

  • 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.
