Dm
Am

Trying to escape

The memory of what they became

I tried hard to be proud of my service
Dm

But, all I could feel was Shame
Am

The racism could no longer mask

The reality of the occupation

These were people

These were human beings

I feel guilt any time I see a
Dm

mother with her children
A

Like the one who cried hysterically
A

Am

And screamed that we were

worse than Saddam
Dm
Am

As we forced her from her home
Asus4
Dm

I feel guilt any time I see a young girl
Am

Like the one I grabbed

by the arm
Asus4
Dm

And dragged into the street
Am

We were told we were

fighting terrorists
Asus4
Dm

The real terrorist was me

An d the real terrorism

was this occupation

Trying to escape the memories

of what they became

While those weapons are created

and owned by this government

They are harmless without people

willing to use them
Dm

Those who send us to war
Am

Do not have to pull a trigger or

lob a mortar round

They do not have to fight the war

They merely have to

sell the war

They need a public whose willing to send their soldiers
Dm

into harms way

They need soldiers willing to kill and
A
Am

be killed without question
Dm

Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen
Am
Dm

Have nothing to gain from this occupation
Am
Dm

The vast majority of people living

in the U.S.
Am

Have nothing to gain from this

occupation
Am

In fact not only do we have
Dm

nothing to gain
Am

But we suffer more because of it
Am

We lose limbs

Endure trauma
Dm

And give our lives
Am

Our families have to watch flag

draped coffins lowered into the earth

  • 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.
