  • Verse 1
    Sam was 

    lyin' 
    in 
    the jungle 

    agent 
    orange 
    spread across 

    the 
    sky like 
    marmalade 

    Hendrix 
    played 
    on 
    some foreign 

    jukebox 

    they were 
    praying 
    to be 
    saved 

    Those 
    gooks were fierce 

    and fearless 

    That's the 
    price 
    you pay 

    when you 
    invade 

    Xmas 
    in February 

    Sam 
    lost 
    his 
    arm 
    in some 
    border 
    town 

    his 
    fingers 
    are mixed 
    with 

    someone's 
    crop 

    If he 
    did
    n't 
    have 
    that opium 
    to smoke 

    the 
    pain 
    would never 
    ever 
    stop 

    Half his 
    friends 
    are stuffed 

    into black 
    body 
    bags 

    with their 
    names 
    printed 
    at the 
    top 

    Xmas 
    in Feb
    ruary 

    Sammy 
    was 
    a short 
    order cook 
    in a 

    short 
    order 
    black 
    and blue collar 
    town 

    Every
    body 
    worked 
    the steel 
    mill 
    but 

    the steel 
    mill 
    got 
    closed 
    down 

    He thought 
    if he 
    joined 
    the Army 

    he'd have a 
    fu
    ture 
    that was 
    sound 

    Like no 
    Xmas 
    in 
    February 




    Sam's 
    staring 
    at 
    the 

    Vietnam 
    Wall 

    It's been a 
    while 
    now 
    that he's 
    home 

    His 
    wife 
    and 
    kid 
    have left, 

    he's 
    unemployed 

    He's a re
    minder 
    of the 
    war 

    that wasn't 
    won 

    He's the 
    guy 
    on the street 

    with the 
    sign 
    that reads 

    "Please 
    help 
    send 
    this Vet 
    home" 

    But he is 
    home 

    And 
    there's no 
    Xmas 
    in 
    Feb
    ruary 

    Outro 1
    No 
    matter 
    how much 
    he saves

    • 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.
