Am

Every so often we go to the zoo,
C
Am
Abdim

it's home, sweet home,

joining on the bits.
F
G

For the monkey, the tiger,

the spider, the gnu,
C

home, sweet home.

They mope, they pace,

they fly into rages,
F
Dm

throw feces at us
Fm

through the bars of their cages.
C

They've got no choice,
D

they've got no voice,
G
C

but it's home, sweet home.
Am

But every night when the

zoo gates are closed,
C
Am
G

home, sweet home,
Dm

They don't fall asleep,

they don't even doze,
G
C

home, sweet home.

They gather and grumble
F

and gossip for ages about the
Dm

strange creatures
Fm

Outside of their cages,
C

about you and me,
D

Who think we are free
G
C
Am

in our home, sweet home.
F
C

For sure, as a species,
Am

we are rather odd,
C
Am
G

Home, sweet home.
Dm

No other creature needs

money or God,
G
C

Home, sweet home.

Animals succeed by natural selection,
F
Dm

We choose our leaders
Fm

in so -called elections,
C

where asses kick ass,
D

and prisons can pass
G
C
Am
G
Am

for a home, sweet home.
F

Am
G

De fenses went up when the
Am

towers came down,
C
Am
G

home, sweet home.

Now we're so darned afraid

that we live underground,
C

home, sweet home.

Take up the blanks

from your walls and your floors
F
Fm

Mail them over your windows and doors
C

It's safe inside,
D
G

now we can hide in our home
C
Am
C

Sweet home

When we fly we're on

homeland security too
G

Home, sweet home

Like sheep in a pen, we stand in a line
C

Home, sweet home

Take off our shoes, empty our pants
F

They'd strip us dark naked
Fm

if they had the chance
C
D

Miss Condoleezza absconds

with our tweezers
G
C

It's home, sweet home
G
C

It's orange alert every hour of the day
F
G

Home, sweet home
Am

There's plenty of room at
G

Guantanamo Bay
C

Home, sweet home

Behind every bush, a terrorist lurks
F
Fm

Population control, you bet it works
C

Keeps us in line,
D
G

body and mind in a rush
C

Home, home

The rest of the world is

outside of the bars
G

Home, sweet home

Observing the zoo of the

stripes and the stars,
C

home sweet home.

They're hoping we won't want their oil and their water,
F

their air, their cheap labor,
Fm

their lands for our slaughter,
C

a dump for our waste,
D
G

and all of their space for our home,
C
Am
C

sweet home.
G
C

Keep all this in mind
Am

when you visit the zoo,
C
Am
G

it's home, sweet home,
Dm

for critters who have it

much better than you,
G
C

home, sweet home.

They may have no space

for their paws or their fins,
F
Dm

but they don't have to pay
Fm

for the prison they're in.
C

And in their old age,
D

they're straw in their cage
G
C
B
Bb
A
D

in their home, sweet home

Keep all this in mind

if you're green or you're red
A

Home, sweet home
G
A

Carlton and Georgie are under your bed
D

Home, sweet home

The big corporations are

making your laws
G

Yanking your chains,

clipping your claws

Removing your choice,

stifling our voice in a

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay, it's time for Mr. Billy Bragg.

Geez, he comes when I call

and even Margaret Thatcher

couldn't do that.

I'm at your beck and call.

How long? know that.

That's nice.

  • 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.
