Verse 1
Am

Tell
Dm
Am

you a thing that you ought to know

Two minutes of your time, then on you go

Tell tale of the men all dressed in black

That most of them, not coming back
Dm
Am

Sent off to war to play little games

And on their return,

can't name no names

Some strange yellow gas has
Dm
Am

played with their minds

Has reddened their eyes,

removed all the lies

And strange as it sounds,

death knows no bounds

How many get well?
Asus2

Only time will tell

Verse 2
Am

You lie in your death bed now
C

But what did you bring to the table?
Am

Brought us only holy sin
C
Am

Utter trust is a deadly thing

To the prayer of holy peace

We didn't know what was
C

lying underneath
Am

So how could we be such fools?

And to think that we thought you the answer
Verse 3
Am

I can't begin to understand in all the lies

But on your death bed,

I can see it in your eyes

Just as clear as all the sweat
Dm
Esus4

upon your brow
Am

It really makes sense,

I can see it clearly now
Verse 4
Am

Tangled up in a web of lies
C

Could have been a way
Am

to prophesize

Unaware of the consequence
C
Am

Not aware of the secrets that you kept

Nothing that we could believe
C
Am

To reveal the facade of faceless men

Not a thing that we could foresee

Now a sign that would tell us the outcome
Verse 5
Am
D

You had us all strung out
Am

with promises of peace

But all along,

your cover plan was to deceive

Can it put to rights now?
Dm
Em

Only time will tell
Esus4
Am

Your prophecies will send

us all to Hell as well
Bm
G
Left to all our golden sons
Verse 6
Dm

Am

All to pick up on the peace
Bm
G

You could have given all of them
Dm
Am

A little chance, at least
Bm
G

Take the world to better place
D
Dm
Am

Given them all just a little hope
Bm
G
Am
Dm
Am

Just think what a leg acy you now will leave

Verse 7
G

We seemed destined to live in fear
Em

And some that would say
C
Bm

Armageddon is near
G

But where there's a life,

while there's hope
Em

That man won't self-destruct
C
Bm

Why Why can't we
G

treat our fellow men
Am
D

With more respect and a shake
Am
Bm

of their hands?
G

But anger and loathing is rife
Am

The death on all sides is be
D
Am
Bm

coming a way of life
G

We live in an uncertain world
Am
D

Fear, understanding and ignorance
Am
Bm

is leading to death
G

Only the corpses are left

D

For vultures that prey on their bones

Their whole life is death and misery
G

The only thing that they know

"Fight fire with fire,
D

life is cheap"
G

But if they do stop to think
Am
D

That man is teetering right
A
Am
Bm

on the brink
G

But do you think that they care?
Am
D

They benefit from death and pain and despair

  • 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.
