    Verse 1
    Em

    Why

    all these bugles crying

    For squads of young men drilled
    Am

    To kill and to be killed
    Em

    Stood waiting by this train?
    Verse 2
    Em

    Why the orders loud and hoarse?
    Am

    Why the engine's groaning cough

    As it strains to drag us off
    F

    Into the holocaust?
    Verse 3
    F
    E
    Bdim

    Why crowds who sing and cry
    E
    C#dim

    And shout and fling us flowers
    F#

    And trade their right for ours
    B

    To murder and to die?
    Verse 4
    A

    The dove has torn her wings
    D

    so no more songs of love
    A

    We are not here to sing
    Em

    We're here to kill the dove
    Verse 5
    Em


    Why has this moment come

    When childhood has to die
    A
    Am
    E
    Am

    When hope shrinks to a sigh
    Em

    And speech into a drum?
    Verse 6
    Em

    Why are they pale and still
    Am

    Young boys trained overnight

    Conscripts forced to fight
    F

    And dressed in gray to kill?
    Verse 7
    F
    E

    These rain clouds massing tight
    Bdim
    Em

    This train load battle bound
    C#dim

    This moving burial ground

    A

    Sent thundering toward the night

    A

    We are not here to sing
    Em

    We're here to kill the dove
    Verse 9
    Em


    Why statues towering brave
    Am

    Above the last defeat

    Old words and lies repeat
    Em

    Across the new made grave?
    Verse 10
    Em

    Why the same still birth
    Am

    That victory always brought

    These hours of glory bought
    F

    By men with mouths of earth?
    Verse 11
    F
    E
    Bdim

    Dead ash without a spark
    E
    F#

    Where cities used to be

    For guns probe every light
    B

    And crush it in the dark
    Verse 12
    A

    The dove has torn her wings
    D

    so no more songs of love
    A

    We are not here to sing

    We're here to kill the dove
    Em

    Verse 13
    Em

    And why your face undone
    Am

    With jagged lines of tears

    That gave in those first years
    Em

    All peace I ever won?
    Verse 14
    Em

    Your body in the gloom
    Am

    The platform fading back

    Your shadow on the track
    F

    A flower on a tomb
    Verse 15
    E

    And why these days ahead
    Bdim

    When I must let you cry
    C#dim

    And live prepared to die
    F#
    B

    As if our love were dead?
    Verse 16
    A

    The dove has torn her wings so
    D

    no more songs of love
    A

    We are not here to sing

    • 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.
