    • Intro 1





    There 
    was 
    a man 
    Verse 1
    in 
    the jungle 

    Trying 
    to make 
    end
    s 
    meet 

    Found 
    himself 
    one 
    day 
    with 

    an 
    axe 
    in his 
    hand 

    When 
    a 
    voice 
    said 
    "Buddy 

    can 
    you spare 
    that 
    tree 

    We gotta 
    save 
    this 
    world- 

    starting 
    with 
    your 
    land." 

    It 
    was 
    a 
    rock 
    'n' 
    roll 

    millionaire 
    from 
    the 
    USA 

    Doing 
    three 
    to 
    the 
    gallon 

    in 
    a 
    big 
    white 
    car 

    And 
    he sang 
    and 
    he sang 
    'till 

    he 
    pol
    luted 
    the 
    air

    And 
    he 
    blew 
    a 
    lot 
    of smoke 

    from 
    a Cuban 
    ci
    gar 

    And 
    the stars 
    are 
    looking 
    down 

    Through 
    a 
    hole 
    in the 
    sky 

    And 
    if 
    they 
    can see, 
    they 
    cry 

    That's 
    obvi
    ous 

    And 
    the wall
    s 

    are coming 
    down 

    Between 
    the west 
    and 
    the 
    east 

    You 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    hippie 

    to 
    believe 
    in 
    peace 

    That's 




    obvious...obvious 

    There 
    was 
    a kid 
    in 
    the city 

    selling 
    crack 
    to 
    get 
    by 

    Got 
    caught 
    one 
    day 
    with 
    a gun 
    in 
    his 
    hand 

    When 
    a voice 
    said, 
    "OK, 

    get'em up 
    in the 
    air 

    You're 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    live 
    like 
    this 

    But 
    you 
    ain't 
    too 
    fast 
    to die." 

    Just 
    an
    other 
    foot- 
    sol
    dier 

    in 
    a stu
    pid 
    little 
    war 

    Another 
    sound- 
    bite 
    on the 

    Amer
    ican 
    scene 

    Caught 
    between 
    the supplier 

    only 
    dream
    ing 
    of 
    money 

    And 
    the demand 
    of 
    the man 

    with 
    the money 

    Who needs 
    a little 
    help 
    to 
    dream 

    So 
    we starve 
    all 
    the 
    teachers 

    And 
    recruit 
    more 
    mar
    ines 

    How 
    come 
    we don't 
    even 

    know 
    what 
    that 
    means 

    It's 
    obvi
    ous 

    And 
    the walls 
    are 
    com
    ing 
    down 

    Between 
    the 
    eagle 
    and the 
    dove 

    You 
    don't 
    have 
    to 
    be 
    a 
    hippie 
    to 
    believe 

    in 
    love 

    Outro 1
    That's obvious...obvious

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
