    • Verse 1


    It was 
    back in 1942, 

    I 
    part of a good 
    pla
    toon 

    Over 
    on 

    Maneuvers 
    in 

    Louisiana, 

    one 
    -eighth by the light 
    of the 
    moon 

    As 

    Captain said, we've got 
    to ford the 
    river, 

    that's where it 
    all 
    began 

    We're 
    knee -deep 
    in 
    the big muddy, 

    and the 
    damned fool can't 
    get in 

    It's a 

    Prussian 
    moon 


    The 
    sergeant said, 

    sir, are you sure 
    this is 
    the way 
    back to base? 

    Sergeant, I once 
    crossed this river, 

    not a mile up 
    off this 
    base. 

    It'll 
    be a little soggy, 

    but we'll keep on 
    slogging. 

    We'll 
    soon be on 
    dry ground. 

    We're 
    waist -deep 
    in 

    the big muddy 
    in 
    the damn 

    Fou
    quet -Biennon 

    So 
    push 
    on 

    Captain, 
    sir, 
    with all this 
    gear 
    no man 

    will be able 
    to swim 

    Sergeant, 
    don't 
    be nervous nearly, 

    the captain said 
    to 
    him 

    All 
    we need is a 
    little determination, 

    follow me 

    I'll 
    lead on, 
    but 
    we're 
    neck deep 
    in 
    the big muddy 

    an
    d the damn 
    fool kept 
    yellin' 

    to push 
    on. 



    All of 
    a sudden, 
    the 
    moon 
    clouded over. 

    All 
    we heard was a 
    gurg
    ling cry 

    And 
    a second 
    plane of the captain's 

    helmet was 
    all 
    that fol
    lowed by 

    The 
    sergeant 
    said 
    turn around 
    men, 

    I'm 
    in 
    charge from 
    now on 

    And we 
    just 
    made it over 
    the 
    big muddy 

    where the captain 
    died 
    and 
    gone 

    We 
    stripped and dived 
    and 
    found his 

    body 
    stuck in 
    the old 
    quicksand 

    I guess 
    she didn't know 
    the 
    wa
    ter was deeper 

    than the place 
    where 
    he'd 
    once been 

    But 
    an
    other stream 
    had joined the 
    muddy, a 

    half 
    a mile from 
    where 
    we'd gone 

    We 
    weren't 
    luck
    y to get out of the 
    big muddy 

    when 
    that damn 
    fool kept 
    yelling 

    To 
    push 
    on 






    You may not want to 
    draw conclusions, 

    but leave that to yourself. 

    Maybe you're still walking, 

    maybe you're still 
    talking, maybe 
    you've 
    still 
    got your health 

    But 
    every time 
    I 
    hear the news, 

    that old 
    feeling comes 
    back on 

    We're 
    knee -deep 
    in 
    the big 
    muddy and the 

    damn fools 
    keep 
    yellin' 

    So 
    push on 

    Knee -deep 
    in the 
    big muddy 
    and 

    the fools 
    keep yellin' 

    Push on, 
    waist deep 
    in the big muddy 

    and 
    the damn 
    fools keep yellin' 

    Push 
    on, 
    waist deep, 
    neck deep, 

    we'll be 
    drownin' 
    before 
    too long 

    We're 
    neck deep 
    in the big muddy 

    and the damn 
    fools keep 
    yellin' 

    So 
    push 
    on

      "

      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.
