    • Verse 1
    What did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of 
    mine? 

    What did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of mine? 

    I 
    learned 
    that Washington 
    never told 
    a 
    lie 
    I 
    Verse 2

    learned that 
    soldiers 
    seldom 
    die 

    I 
    learned 
    that every
    body's 
    free 

    And 
    that's what 
    the teacher 

    said 
    to me 

    And that's what 
    I learned in 

    school 
    today 

    That's what 
    I learned in 
    school 

    Verse 3
    And 
    what did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of 
    mine? 

    What did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of mine? 

    I 
    learned that 
    policemen 
    Verse 4
    are my 
    friends 

    I 
    learned 
    that justice 
    never 
    ends 

    I 
    learned that 
    murderers 

    die for 
    their crimes 

    Even 
    if we make a mis

    take sometimes 

    And that's what 
    I learned in 

    school 
    today 

    That's what 
    I learned 
    in school 

    Verse 5
    And 
    what did 
    you learn 
    in school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of 
    mine? 

    What did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of mine? 

    Verse 6
    I 
    learned that 
    war 
    is not so 
    bad 

    I 
    learned about 
    the great ones 
    we have 
    had 

    We 
    fought 
    in Germany 
    and 
    in France 

    And 
    someday 
    I might 
    get my 

    chance 

    And that's what 
    I learned in 

    school 
    today 

    Verse 7
    That's what 
    I learned 
    in school 


    And 
    what did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of 
    mine? 

    What did 
    you learn in 
    school 
    today, 

    dear little 
    boy 
    of mine? 

    I 
    learned 
    our government 
    must be 
    strong 
    It's 
    Verse 8

    always 
    right 
    and 
    never wrong 

    Our 
    leaders 
    are 
    the 
    finest 
    men 

    And 
    we 
    elect them 
    again 

    and 
    again 

    And that's what 
    I learned in 

    school 
    today 

    That's what 
    I learned in 
    school

      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

      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.
