Verse 1
Am

Just out of the
G
F

infantry this morning,
Am
G
F

I had to pay my dues across the sea,
G
F

But no one back in boot camp
Am

ever warned me,
G
F

What the readjustment blues
Am
G

would do to me.
Am
G

"Welcome to Havannah",
F

said the pilot,
Am

"We must have made a wrong
G
F

turn on the way."
G
F

"Let's buy some cigars
Am

and keep it quiet,
G
F

If they don't know we're here
Am

we'll get away."
G
F

Just as I had realized he was joking,
Am
G
F

I saw we were in Washington D.C.,
G
F

'Cause there was all the pat
Am

riotic buildings.
G
F

Just like I had seen them on T.V.
Am
G

It must have been a holiday,
F
Am
C

'cause there was this parade.
G
F

People carried signs I couldn't read
Am
C
Em

that they had made.
Am
F

'Till I got closer and my heart
C

fell to my socks;
G

There was a battle raging and
F

The air was filled with teargas and rocks.
Am
G

There was the flag I'd fought
F

against so often,
Am
G

The one I fought for hanging
F

upside down,
G

The wind was blowing hard,
F
Am

the dirt was flying,
G
F

It made the city sky look
Am

dark and brown.

I saw a girl,
G
F

she could have been my sister,
Am

Except her hair was long
G
F

and in her face,
G
F

She explained this was a
Am

demonstration,
G
F

Against the war and for the
Am

human race.
G

Now I've seen a lot of strange
F

things in my travels,
Am
G
F

Cannibals, yes, and aliens galore,
G
F

But I never thought I'd see
Am

so many people
G
F
Am

Saying we don't want your + + + war!
G

The troops all had on uniforms
F
Am
C

Just like the one I'd worn,
G

But they were all domestic and
F
G
C
Em

my duty chose war.
Am

They carried guns just like the
F

ones across the sea,
C
G

Except this time I was the citizen
F
Am

And they were pointing their guns at me,
C
G

Yes, I was just a citizen and
F
Am

I was walking down the street,
C

And it was just then that the
G
F

Readjustment Blues

Got through to me.

  • 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.
