  • Verse 1
    Somewhere 
    in 
    your 
    wardrobe, 

    I'd 
    be 
    willing 
    to 
    bet 

    There's 
    t- 
    shirt 
    probably 
    bearing 

    the silhou
    ette 
    of 
    Che 
    Guevara 

    He 
    was 
    revolutionary, 
    yeah, 

    he 
    wore 
    cool 
    hat 

    But be
    hind 
    the design 
    I think 
    you 
    might 
    find 

    it's 
    not 
    quite 
    as 
    sim
    ple 
    as 
    that 

    Che 
    was 
    a bit of 
    homo
    phobe, Che 
    was 

    a bit of 
    homophobe, apparently 

    Che 
    was 
    a bit 
    of a 
    homo
    phobe, Che 

    was 
    a bit 
    of a 
    homophobe 

    This is 
    my 
    song 
    in 
    defence 

    of 
    the 
    fence 

    A little 
    sing 
    along, 

    anthem 
    to 
    ambivalence 

    The more 
    you 
    know, 

    the harder 
    you 
    will 
    find 
    it 

    To make 
    up 
    your 
    mind, 
    it, 

    doesn't 
    really 
    matter 
    if you 
    find 

    You 
    can't 
    see 
    which 

    grass 
    is 
    greener 

    Chances 
    are 
    it's 
    neither, 

    and either 
    way 
    it's 
    easier 

    To 
    see 
    the differ
    ence, 

    when you're 
    sitting 
    on 
    the 
    fence 

    Somewhere 
    in 
    your 
    house, 

    I'd 
    be 
    willing 
    to 
    bet 

    There's 
    picture 
    of 
    that 
    grinning 
    hippy 

    from 
    Tibet 
    - the 
    Dalai 
    Llama 

    He's 
    lovely, 
    funny 
    fella, 

    he 
    gives 
    soundbites galore 

    But let's 
    not for
    get 
    that back 
    in Tibet, 

    those 
    funky 
    monks 
    used to 
    dick 
    the poor, 
    yeah 

    And 
    the 
    Buddhist 
    line 
    about 
    future 
    lives 
    is 
    the 

    perfect 
    way 
    to 
    stop 
    the powerless 
    rising 
    up 

    And he 
    tells 
    the poor 
    they will 
    live 
    again, 

    but 
    he's 
    rich 
    now 
    so 
    it's 
    easy for 
    him 
    to say 

    I'm 
    taking 
    the stand 
    in 

    defence 
    of 
    the 
    fence 

    I got 
    a little 
    band 
    playing 

    anthems 
    to 
    ambivalence 

    We di
    vide 
    the world 
    into 

    terrorists 
    and 
    heroes 

    Into 
    normal 
    folk 
    and 
    weirdos 

    Into good 
    people 
    and 
    pedos 

    Into 
    things 
    that 
    give 
    you 
    cancer 
    and 

    the things 
    that 
    cure 
    cancer 

    And 
    the things 
    that 
    don't 
    cause 
    cancer, 

    but 
    there's 
    a chance 
    they 
    will 
    cause 
    cancer 
    in the 
    future 

    We 
    di
    vide 
    the world 
    to 
    stop 

    us 
    feeling 
    frightened 

    Into 
    wrong 
    and into 
    right 
    and 

    Into 
    black 
    and 
    into 
    white 
    and 

    Into 
    real 
    men 
    and 
    fairies 

    Into 
    status 
    quo 
    and 
    scary 

    Yeah 
    we want 
    the world 
    bin
    ary, 
    binary 

    But 
    it's 
    not 
    that 
    simple. 

    And your 
    dog 
    has 
    a bigger 
    carbon 

    footprint 
    than 
    a four 
    wheel 
    drive 

    Yea 
    your 
    dog 
    has 
    a bigger 
    carbon 

    footprint 
    than 
    a four 
    wheel 
    drive 

    And your 
    dog 
    has 
    a bigger 
    carbon 

    footprint 
    than 
    a four 
    wheel 
    drive 

    And 
    so 
    does 
    your baby, 

    maybe 
    you 
    oughta 
    trade 
    him 
    in for 
    a Prius 

    Rock! 

    I'm 
    taking 
    the 
    stand 
    in 

    defence 
    of 
    the 
    fence 

    got 
    a little 
    band 
    playing 

    tributes 
    to 
    ambivalence 

    We di
    vide 
    the world 
    into 

    liberals 
    and 
    gun- 
    freaks 

    Into 
    atheists 
    and 
    fundies 

    Into 
    tee- 
    tot'lers and 
    junkies 

    Into 
    chemical 
    and 
    natural 

    Into 
    fictional 
    and 
    factual 

    Into 
    science 
    and 
    supernat
    ural 

    But it's 
    actually 
    naturally 
    not 

    that 
    white 
    and 
    black 

    You'll 
    be 

    Divid

    • 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.
