    Verse 1
    "Mercy, 
    mercy," 

    why 
    didn't 
    we 
    hear 
    it? 

    "Mercy, 
    mercy," 
    why 
    did 
    we 
    read 
    it 
    buried 
    on 

    the 
    last 
    page 
    of 
    our morning 
    pa
    pers? 

    The plan 
    was 
    drafted, 

    draf
    ted 
    in 
    secret. 

    Gunboats 
    met 
    the 
    red 
    tide, 

    driven 
    to 
    the 
    rum 
    trade 
    for 
    the 
    army 
    that 
    they 
    cre
    ated. 

    But 
    the 
    bullets 
    were 
    bought 
    by 
    us, 

    it 
    was 
    dollars 
    that 
    paid 
    them. 

    Verse 2

    Please 
    forgive 
    us, 
    we 
    don't 
    know 
    what 

    was 
    done 
    in our 
    name. 

    There'll 
    be 
    more 
    trials 
    like 
    this 

    in 
    mer
    cenary 
    heydays. 

    When 
    they're 
    so 
    apt 
    to wrap 
    themselves 

    up 
    in 
    the stripes 
    and 
    stars 

    And 
    find 
    that 
    they 
    are 
    able 
    to 

    call 
    themselves 
    her
    oes 

    And 
    to 
    justify 
    murder 
    by 
    their 

    fighters 
    for freedom. 

    Verse 3

    Please 
    forgive 
    us, 

    we don't 
    know 
    what 
    was 
    done. 

    Please 
    forgive 
    us, 

    we did
    n't 
    know. 

    Could you 
    ever 
    forgive 
    us? 

    I don't 
    know 
    how 
    you 
    could. 



    I 
    know 
    this 
    is 
    no 
    consola

    tion. 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 4
    Please 
    forgive 
    us, 

    we did
    n't 
    know. 

    Could 
    you 
    ever 
    believe 
    that 

    we did
    n't 
    know? 

    Please 
    forgive 
    us, 
    we 
    did
    n't 
    know. 

    I 
    wouldn't 
    blame 
    you 
    if 
    you 
    never 
    could, 

    and 
    you 
    never 
    will.

      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

      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.
