    Verse 1

    G.I. 
    Joe 
    put 

    your 
    gun 
    away 

    The sun 
    is 
    setting 
    on 
    an
    other 
    day 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    leave 
    me 
    alone 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 2
    They're 
    burning 
    effigies 
    out 
    in 
    the street 

    Man 
    the lifeboats, 

    sound 
    the 
    retreat 

    Pentagon's on 
    the 
    phone 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 3
    You 
    can't 
    just 
    kiss 
    and 
    run 
    away 

    There 
    ain't enough 
    money 

    on 
    a ser
    geant's 
    pay 

    When 
    the 
    dance 
    hall 
    girl 
    you 

    banged's in 
    the family 
    way 

    Verse 4

    You 
    turned 
    my 
    sister 
    into 
    a 
    whore 

    With 
    a 
    pair 
    of silk 
    stockings 

    from 
    the 
    P.X. store 

    Why 
    don't 
    you 
    leave 
    us 
    alone 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 5
    My girlfriend 
    won't 
    talk 
    to 
    me 

    Since 
    she 
    met 
    with 
    a sailor 
    from 

    the land 
    of 
    the free 

    I'm tired 
    of 
    being 
    alone 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 6
    I've 
    lost 
    count 
    of 
    the chewing 

    gum 
    that 
    I've 
    had 

    And 
    vodka-cola 
    make 
    make 

    my teeth 
    go 
    bad 

    We'll 
    handle 
    this 
    on 
    our 
    own 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home 

    Verse 7
    Dow 
    Jones 
    going 
    into 
    a stall 

    Spray 
    paint 
    saying 
    it 
    on 
    every 
    wall 

    The climb 
    was 
    fine, 

    now 
    it's 
    time 
    to 
    decline 
    and 
    fall 

    Verse 8
    Overpaid, 
    oversexed 
    and 
    over 
    here 

    Get 
    smart, 
    gringo, 
    disappear 

    The Hun's 
    at 
    the gates 
    of 
    Rome 

    Yankee 
    go 
    home

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
