    By: 
    jimmy buffett 

    1970 

    didn't 
    know 
    we 
    were 
    at 
    war 

    I've 
    been 
    away 
    so 
    long 

    Trying 
    to 
    help 
    once 
    lost 
    men 

    Dis
    tinguish 
    right 
    from 
    wrong 

    didn't 
    know 
    we'd 
    killed 
    the 
    men 

    Our 
    leaders 
    proud 
    and 
    strong 

    The situation's 
    changed 
    my friend 

    I've 
    been 
    away 
    too 
    long 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    I taught 
    my 
    friends 

    How 
    we 
    had 
    gained 
    re
    spect 

    for 
    every 
    man 

    And freedom 
    flowed 
    like 
    jungle 
    streams 

    While 
    peace 
    em
    braced 
    the 
    land 

    I told 
    them 
    how 
    we'd 

    learned 
    to change 

    Our sword 
    blades 
    into 
    plows 

    I told 
    them 
    they 
    should 

    learn 
    from 
    us 

    What should 
    tell 
    them 
    now 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 3
    Chorus: 
    'cause 

    didn't 
    know 
    we 
    were 
    at 
    war 

    I've 
    been 
    away 
    so 
    long 

    Trying 
    to 
    help 
    once 
    lost 
    men 

    Dis
    tinguish 
    right 
    from 
    wrong 

    Interlude 3


    Verse 4
    The jungle 
    silence 
    shut 
    them 
    off 

    From 
    civil
    ized 
    man
    kind 

    Their 
    nakedness 
    was 
    no 
    disgrace 

    No censors 
    could 
    find

    The 
    population 
    lived 
    in 
    peace 

    All 
    brothers 
    on 
    their 
    own 

    And 
    now 
    that 
    have 
    seen 
    the mess 

    don't 
    think 
    I'll 
    go 
    home 

    Interlude 4

    Verse 5
    Chorus: 
    'cause 

    didn't 
    know 
    we 
    were 
    at 
    war 

    I've 
    been 
    away 
    so 
    long 

    I told 
    them 
    they 
    should 
    learn 
    from 
    us 

    think 
    told 
    them 
    wrong

    • 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.
