There was a man
Verse 1
D

in the jungle
A

Trying to make ends meet
D

Found himself one day with
G

an axe in his hand
D

When a voice said "Buddy

can you spare that tree
A
D

We gotta save this world-
G

starting with your land."
A
D

It was a rock 'n' roll
G

millionaire from the USA
A
D

Doing three to the gallon
G
A

in a big white car
D

And he sang and he sang 'till
G
A

he polluted the air
D

And he blew a lot of smoke
G

Em

from a Cuban cigar

And the stars are looking down

Through a hole in the sky

And if they can see, they cry
C

And the walls

Between the west and the east

You don't have to be a hippie

You're too young to live like this

But you ain't too fast to die."
G

D

Just another foot- soldier
G
A

in a stupid little war
D

Another sound- bite on the
G
A

American scene
D

Caught between the supplier
G
A

only dreaming of money

And the demand of the man
D

with the money
G
A
Em

Who needs a little help to dream

So we starve all the teachers

And recruit more marines

How come we don't even

  • 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.
