The song
D
G
C
D
was written for the tuned guitar,
G
but I'll sing it anyhow.
C
Now when I landed in Vietnam,
D
I hardly got to see Saigon.
G
They shaped us up and
C
D
called the roll
G
And off we went on a long patrol
C
Swappin' lives, swattin' flies
D
Firein' the odd shot here
G
C
D
G
and there
C
The captain called a halt that night
D
A
D
And we had chow by the pale moonlight
G
C
A lovely dinner they planned for us
D
With a taste like a seat on a crosstown bus
G
Some of the veterans left theirs
C
layin' in the cans
D
for the Viet Cong to find,
G
C
D
G
deadlier than a landmine.
C
Naturally somebody told a joke
D
and a couple of the veterans began to smoke.
G
C
I took a whiff as the cloud rolled by
D
and my nose went up like an
G
infield fly.
The captain,
C
this blond fellow from Yale,
D
he looked at me and said,
What's the matter with you, baby?
G
C
D
G
Well, I may be crazy,
C
but I think not,
G
D
I swear to God that I smell pot,
G
but who'd have pot in Vietnam?
C
D
said, what do you think
you've been sitting on?
G
C
These funny little plants,
D
thousands of them.
Good God Almighty!
G
C
D
G
C
D
Pastures of plenty!
G
C
So we all lit up, and by and by,
D
the whole platoon was flying high.
G
C
With a beautiful smile on the captain's face,
D
he smelled like midnight on
St. Mark's Place.
G
cleaning his weapon,
C
D
chanting something about Hare Krishna,
G
C
D
G
C
D
Hare Krishna.
G
C
The moment came as it comes to all
D
when I had to answer nature's call.
G
I was stumbling around in
C
the beautiful haze
D
G
when I met a little cat in black PJs, rifle,
C
D
ammo belt, Dunlop sandals.
Looked up at me and said, What's the matter with you,
G
C
D
baby?
G
He said, we're campin'
C
down the pass
D
And smell you people blowin' grass
G
And since by the smell you're smokin' trash
D
I brought you a taste of a special stash
G
C
Straight from Uncle Ho's Victory Garden
D
G
C
D
We call it Hanoi Gold
G
C
So his squad, my squad, settled down
D
Passed some lovely stuff around
G
E
D
All too soon it was time to go
the captain got on the radio
G
C
said hello headquarters
Hello headquarters
D
We have met the enemy
G

and he has been smashed
Thank you. Thank you.

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.”
