    Verse 1
    This 
    is 
    song 
    that 
    came 
    u
    pon 
    me 

    One 
    night 

    When 
    the 
    news 
    it 
    had 
    been 
    telling 
    me 

    Bout 
    one 
    more 
    war 
    and 
    one 
    more 
    fight 

    and 
    I, 
    sighed 

    But 
    then 
    thought 
    about 
    my 
    friends 

    Then 
    wrote 
    this 
    declaration 

    Just 
    in 
    case 
    the 
    world 
    end 

    Our 
    guns 

    We 
    shot 
    them 
    in 
    the 
    things 
    we 
    said 

    Ah 
    we 
    didn't 
    need 
    no 
    bullets 

    Cause 
    we 
    rely 
    on 
    some 
    words 
    instead 

    Kill 
    someone 
    in 
    argument 

    Out
    wit 
    them 
    with 
    our 
    brains 

    And 
    we'd 
    kill 
    ourselves 
    laughing 

    At 
    the 
    funny 
    things 
    we'd 
    say 

    Verse 2
    And 
    bombs 

    We 
    had 
    them 
    saved 
    for 
    special 
    times 

    When 
    the 
    crew 
    would 
    call 
    shakedown 

    We'd 
    break 
    down 
    party 
    landmine 

    Women 
    that 
    so 
    sexy 

    They 
    explode 
    us 
    with 
    their 
    looks 

    Ah 
    we 
    blowing 
    up 
    some 
    speakers 

    Jumping 
    'round 
    'til 
    the 
    ground 
    shook 

    And 
    missiles 

    They 
    were 
    the 
    road-trips 
    that 
    we 
    launched 

    T-t-
    triping 
    'cross 
    this 
    island 

    Starting 
    missions 
    at 
    the 
    break 
    of 
    dawn 

    Yawn 
    and 
    smile 
    say 

    What 
    di
    rection 
    shall 
    we 
    take? 

    Somewhere 
    where 
    it 
    warm 
    and 
    wet 

    This 
    be 
    the 
    route 
    we'd 
    always 
    take 
    and 

    Chorus 1
    Our 
    weapons 
    were 
    our 
    instruments 

    Made 
    from 
    our 
    timber 
    and 
    steel 

    We 
    never 
    yield- 
    ed 
    to 
    conformity 

    But 
    stood 
    like 
    kings 

    In 
    chariot 
    that's 
    riding 
    on 

    Record 
    wheel

    Bridge 1
    Our 
    weapons 
    were 
    our 
    instruments 

    Made 
    from 
    our 
    timber 
    and 
    steel 

    We 
    never 
    yield- 
    ed 
    to 
    conformity 

    But 
    stood 
    like 
    kings 

    In 
    chariot 
    that's 
    riding 
    on 
    Record

    Our

    were 
    our 
    instruments 

    Made 
    from 
    our 
    timber 
    and

    We 
    never

    Solo 2




    Verse 3
    And 
    our 
    air-force 
    flying 

    When 
    the 
    frisbee 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Have 
    session 
    while 
    we're 
    smoking 

    Now 
    we're 
    feeling 
    extra 
    high 

    And 
    we'd 
    sneak 
    into 
    car-park 

    With 
    the 
    skaties 
    on 
    our 
    back 

    And 
    we're 
    flying 
    down 
    the 
    levels 
    howling 

    "On 
    the 
    attack 
    now, 
    on 
    the 
    attack" 

    And 
    battles 

    They 
    happened 
    in 
    these 
    dancehalls 

    See 
    we'd 
    rather 
    fight 
    with 
    music 

    Choosing 
    when 
    the 
    rhythm 
    won 

    Battle 
    at 
    these 
    shakedowns 

    And 
    we'd 
    battle 
    at 
    these 
    gigs 

    We 
    do 
    battle 
    in 
    our 
    bedrooms 

    Made 
    some 
    sweet 
    love 
    to 
    the 
    beat 

    Verse 4
    And 
    our 
    allies 
    grew 

    Where
    ever 
    we 
    would 
    roam 

    See 
    when
    ever 
    we're 
    together 

    Any 
    stranger 
    feel 
    at 
    home 

    In 
    way 
    we 
    are 
    an 
    army 

    But 
    this 
    army 
    not 
    destruct 

    No 
    in
    stead 
    we're 
    doing 
    simple 
    things 

    Good 
    loving, 
    find 
    it, 
    run 
    amuck 

    This 
    be 
    declaration 

    Written 
    about 
    my 
    friends 

    It's 
    en
    graved 
    into 
    this 
    song 

    So 
    they 
    know 
    we're 
    not 
    for
    getting 
    them 

    See 
    maybe 
    if 
    the 
    world 
    contained 

    More 
    people 
    like 
    these 

    Then 
    the 
    news 
    would 
    not 
    be 
    telling 
    me 

    Bout 
    all 
    that 
    warfare 
    endlessly 
    and 

    Chorus 2
    Our 
    weapons 
    were 
    our 
    instruments 

    Made 
    from 
    our 
    timber 
    and 
    steel 

    We 
    never 
    yield- 
    ed

    stood

    • 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.
