    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    your 
    Verse 1

    soup is 
    cold. 

    I 
    fixed 
    it just 
    for 
    you, you 
    know. 

    I 
    know you 
    couldn't 
    eat a bite 

    but 
    you must 
    try. 

    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    Verse 2
    your 
    easy 
    chair. 

    I'll 
    warm your 
    soup, 
    you'll 
    eat it 
    there. 

    Oh 
    Uncle 
    Jack, we're 
    men and 

    we don't 
    cry. 

    Verse 3
    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    the sun is 
    red. 

    My 
    bag 
    is packed 
    and on my 
    bed. 

    They're 
    taking 
    me 
    away from 

    you and 
    I 
    don't know 
    why. 

    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    Verse 4
    they 
    hate you 
    so. 

    You 
    fought to 
    keep me 
    here 
    I know. 

    And now 
    we must 
    ac

    cept 
    it and I'll 
    try. 

    Uncle 
    Verse 5
    Jack, 
    I'm 
    very 
    young, so 
    much 

    to learn, so 
    hard to 
    know what's 
    true. 

    Un
    cle 
    Jack, 
    I 
    love 
    you. 

    I'll remember 
    all 
    of 
    this, 

    I'll 
    follow 
    you. 

    It won't 
    matter 
    if they 
    hate me 
    too. 

    Verse 6

    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    you 
    combed 
    your hair. 

    I 
    see there's 
    still some 
    red paint 
    there. 

    I 
    think you 
    ought to soak 
    your 

    head in 
    turpen
    tine. 

    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    Verse 7
    I 
    won't say 
    "ain't". 

    They 
    say I'll 
    get a 
    chance 
    to paint. 

    You 
    send me 
    some of 
    yours 

    and I'll send 
    mine. 

    Verse 8
    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    we're 
    just too 
    tough. 

    And 
    they can't 
    hit us 
    hard enough. 

    I 
    think I 
    heard their 
    car just 

    now pull 
    in the 
    drive. 

    Uncle 
    Jack, 
    Verse 9
    you 
    have to 
    write. 

    Unless 
    you're 
    just too 
    tired 
    at night. 

    And 
    eat enough 
    to 
    keep yourself 
    alive. 

    Uncle 
    Verse 10
    Jack, 
    I'm 
    very 
    young, so 
    much 
    to 

    learn, so 
    hard to 
    know what's 
    true. 

    Uncle 
    Jack
    , 

    I 
    love 
    you. 

    I'll re
    member 
    all 
    of 
    this, 
    I'll 
    follow 
    you, 

    And 
    it won't 
    matter 
    if they 
    hate me 
    too. 

    Verse 11
    Oh,

    Jack, 

    I'll re

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
