    Verse 1
    We 
    were 
    the children 

    of 
    `45 

    Loaded 
    like 
    pistols 
    and 
    taught 
    how 
    to 
    die 

    We 
    looked 
    the 
    enemy 
    straight 
    in 
    the 

    eye 
    (And never 
    surrender) 

    Through 
    trenches 
    dug 
    in 

    the back 
    of my 
    mind 

    I go 
    over 
    the 
    top 
    time 
    after 
    time 

    Me 
    and 
    the 
    ones 
    we 
    left 
    behind 

    (Faces I'll always 
    remember) 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    there's 
    no 
    fight 
    left 
    within 
    me, 

    but 
    the 
    writing 
    of 
    this 
    wrong 

    As 
    nations 
    we're 
    divided, 

    but 
    as 
    people 
    we 
    are 
    one 

    Like 
    brothers 
    in 
    blood 
    it 
    seems 
    that 
    we've 

    been 
    -Too 
    Long 
    A Sol
    dier 

    Verse 3

    In 
    the city 
    of 
    monuments, 

    among 
    the flags 
    of 
    all 
    governments 

    The 
    order 
    of 
    battle 
    is 
    written 
    in 
    the shadows 

    of 
    a 
    hard 
    black 
    line 

    Where 
    people 
    cry 
    for 
    a nations 
    scars 

    And 
    heros 
    sleep 
    beneath 
    a 
    blanket 
    of 
    stars 

    Too 
    young 
    to die, 

    but never 
    too 
    old 
    to 
    play 
    the gen
    eral's 
    game 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    there's 
    no 
    life 
    left 
    within 
    them, 

    but 
    the memory 
    lingers 
    on 

    As 
    nations 
    we're 
    divided, 

    but 
    as 
    people 
    we 
    are 
    one 

    For 
    brothers 
    in 
    blood 
    we 
    sing 
    that 

    we've 
    been 
    -Too 
    Long 
    A Soldier 


    Verse 5
    Eternal 
    flames 
    blow 
    in 
    the wind, 

    I've 
    been 
    Too 
    Long 
    A Sol
    dier

    Long, 
    Too 
    Long

    I've 
    seen 
    so 
    much 
    worth 
    dy
    ing 
    for, 

    so 
    little 
    worth 
    killing 
    over

    Soldiers 
    gone 
    before 
    me, 

    I 
    will 
    surely 
    fade 
    away 

    Verse 7
    My 
    eyes 
    have 
    seen 
    the 
    glory, 

    and the 
    suffering 
    and 
    the pain 

    I've 
    been 
    Too 
    Long 
    A

      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.

      Well-Designed App

      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 🙂

      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.
