    Truce, 
    call 
    a truce, 

    stop 
    all 
    the firing 
    and the fighting. 

    Christ
    mas 
    morning, 
    1914, 

    What 
    would 
    the good 
    Lord 
    say? 

    Truce, 
    let's 
    all 
    have 
    a truce 

    Stop 
    all 
    the 
    shelling 
    and the 
    shooting 

    Froh
    liche 
    Weihnacht, 

    Kamerad, 
    Freundschaft 

    Let's 
    all be 
    friends 
    for a 
    day 

    In 
    the 
    man -made 
    hell 

    In 
    the 
    pu
    trescent 
    smell, 

    in 
    the mines 
    and 
    modern 
    trenches 

    The 
    men from 
    the Rhine 

    crossed 
    over 
    the 
    line 

    For 
    a truce 
    with 
    the Tommies 


    and the Frenchies 

    But 
    the 
    very 
    next 
    day 

    there were 
    hand 
    grenades 

    There 
    was 
    gunfire, 
    gassing 
    and slaughter 

    As 
    we 
    blasted 
    the hum 

    to 
    kingdom 
    come 

    With 
    ma
    chine 
    guns, 
    shelling 
    and 
    mortars 

    Well 
    it was 
    nice 
    to pretend 

    we could 
    love 
    our fellow 
    men 

    With 
    the 
    Christmas 
    an
    gels 
    call
    ing 

    But 
    the 
    dream 
    turned 
    sour 

    in 
    a matter 
    of 
    hours 

    An
    we 
    made 
    it all 
    up in 
    the morn
    ing 

    Truce, 
    call 
    truce 

    Stop 
    all 
    the bitching 
    and back
    biting 

    Who'd 
    leave the lover 
    or 

    send 
    in the bailiffs 

    This 
    one 
    day 
    of 
    the year 

    Truce, 
    let's 
    call 
    truce, 

    stop 
    all 
    the sackings 
    and the 
    stealing 

    Who'd 
    rape a 
    schoolgirl, 

    or cut 
    off someone's 
    pension, 

    and spoil all 
    this Christmas 
    cheer

    Well, 
    there's 
    a couple of 
    days 

    when 
    all 
    the 
    bashers 
    are gays 

    Who 
    op
    press 
    and arrest 
    an
    charge 
    us 

    Or 
    leave 
    us 
    alone 
    to 
    return 
    back 
    home 

    For 
    a truce 
    with 
    our 
    mothers and 

    our fathers 

    But the 
    very 
    next 
    day 
    it's 
    back to 
    the fray 

    And 
    setting 
    our 
    homes 
    in 
    order 

    Bash
    ing 
    lesbian 
    mothers 
    and 

    un
    derage 
    lovers 

    Disown
    ing 
    gay 
    sons 
    and 
    daughters 

    Well, 
    it's 
    quaint 
    to pretend 

    we 
    could 
    all 
    live 
    as friends 

    With 
    the 
    Christmas 
    an
    gels 
    call
    ing 

    But 
    the 
    dream 
    turns 
    out 

    in 
    matter 
    of hours 

    And 
    they 
    make it 
    all up 
    in 
    the morning.

    • 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.
