    • Verse 1
    When 
    I was 
    born 
    into this 
    world, 

    this 
    is what 
    happened 
    to me 

    I 
    was never 
    called 
    a man, 

    and 
    now 
    I'm 
    fifty- 
    three 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I 
    wonder 
    when will I 
    get to be 

    called 
    a man 

    Do I have to wait 
    till I 
    get ninety- 
    three? 

    Verse 2
    When 
    Uncle Sam 
    called 
    me, 

    I knowed 
    I'd be 
    called a real 
    McCoy 

    But I 
    got none 
    of 

    this, they just called 
    me 
    soldier 
    boy 

    I 
    wonder 
    when 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I 
    wonder 
    when will I 
    get to be 

    called 
    a man 

    Do I have to 
    wait till 
    I get ninety- 
    three? 

    Verse 3

    When 
    I 
    got 
    back 
    from 
    over
    seas, 

    that night 
    we 
    had 
    a ball 

    Next 
    day 
    I met 
    the 
    old boss, 

    he 
    said "Boy 
    get 
    you some 
    over
    all
    s" 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I 
    wonder 
    when will I 
    get to be 
    called 
    a man 

    Do 
    I have to 
    wait till 
    I get 
    ninety- 

    three? 

    I've worked 
    on the levee 
    camps, 
    and 
    Verse 4

    axer gangs 
    too 

    Black 
    man's 
    a boy, 

    don't 
    care 
    what he can 
    do 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I 
    wonder 
    when will I 
    get to be 

    called 
    a man 

    Do I have to wait 
    till 
    I get ninety- 
    three? 

    Verse 5
    They 
    aid 
    I was 
    un
    educated, 

    my clothes 
    were dirty 
    and torn 

    Now 
    I've got 
    a little 
    education, 

    but 
    I'm still 
    a boy 
    right on 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I wonder 
    when 

    I 
    wonder 
    when will I 
    get to be 
    called 
    a man 

    Do 
    I have to wait 
    till 
    I 
    get ninety- 
    three?

      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 🙂

      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.
