    Verse 1
    Two 
    days 
    past 
    eighteen 

    He 
    was 
    waitin' 
    for 
    the 
    bus 
    in 
    his 
    army 
    green 

    Sat 
    down 
    in 
    booth, 
    in 
    cafe 
    there 

    He 
    gave 
    his 
    order 
    to 
    girl 

    with 
    bow 
    in 
    her 
    hair 

    He's 
    little 
    shy 
    so 
    she 
    give 
    him 
    smile 

    And 
    he 
    said 
    would 
    you 
    mind 

    sittin' 
    down 
    for 
    while 

    And 
    talk
    in' 
    to 
    me, 
    I'm 
    feelin' 
    little 
    low 

    She 
    said 
    I'm 
    off 
    in 
    an 
    hour 

    and 
    know 
    where 
    we 
    can 
    go 

    Verse 2
    So 
    they 
    went 
    down 
    and 
    they 
    sat 
    on 
    the 
    pier 

    He 
    said 
    bet 
    you 
    got 
    boyfriend 

    but 
    don't 
    care 

    got 
    no 
    one, 
    to 
    send 
    letter 
    to 

    Would 
    you 
    mind 
    if 
    sent 
    one 
    back 
    here 

    to 
    you 

    Chorus 1
    cried 

    Never 
    gonna 
    hold 
    the 
    hand 
    of 
    an
    other 
    guy 

    Too 
    young, 
    for 
    him 
    they 
    told 
    her 

    Waitin' 
    for 
    the 
    love 
    of 
    travelin' 
    soldier 

    Our 
    love 
    will 
    never 
    end 

    Wait
    in' 
    for 
    the 
    soldier 
    to 
    come 
    back 
    again 

    Never 
    more 
    to 
    be 
    alone 

    When 
    the 
    letter 
    said, 
    soldier's 
    comin' 
    home 

    Verse 3
    So 
    the 
    letters 
    came 
    from 
    an 
    army 
    camp 

    In 
    California 
    then 
    Afghanistan 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    her 
    of 
    his 
    heart, 
    it 
    might 
    be 
    love 

    And 
    all 
    of 
    the 
    things 

    that 
    he 
    was 
    so 
    scared 
    of 

    Said 
    when 
    it's 
    gettin' 
    kinda 
    rough 
    over 
    here 

    think 
    of 
    that 
    day 
    sittin' 
    down 
    at 
    the 
    pier 

    And 
    close 
    my 
    eyes 

    and 
    see 
    your 
    pretty 
    smile 

    Don't 
    worry 

    but 
    won't 
    a
    ble 
    to 
    write 
    for 
    while 

    Chorus 2
    cried 

    Never 
    gonna 
    hold 
    the 
    hand 
    of

    come 
    back 
    again

    • 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.
