    Silent 
    Soldiers 

    on 
    a 
    silver 
    screen 

    A 
    F#m E 
    A F#m 

    Framed 
    in 
    fantasies 
    an
    d 

    dragged 
    in 
    dream 

    Bm E7 A 

    Unpaid 
    actors 
    of 
    the 
    mystery 

    Bm 
    E F#m E 

    The 
    mad 
    dir
    ector 
    knows 
    that 

    freedom 
    will 
    not 
    make 
    you 
    free 

    F#m E 

    And 
    what's 
    this 
    got 
    to 
    do 
    with 
    me

    E 
    A E C#m 

    It's

    Verse 2

    Drums 
    are 
    drizzling 
    on 
    a 

    grain 
    of 
    sand 

    Fading 
    rhythms 
    of 
    a 
    fading 
    land 

    Prove 
    your 
    courage 
    in 
    the 

    proud 
    parade 

    Trust 
    your 
    leaders 
    where 
    mistakes 

    are 
    almost 
    never 
    made 

    And 
    they're 
    afraid 
    that 
    I'm 
    afraid 

    Verse 3
    I'm 
    afraid 
    the 
    war 
    is 
    over 

    It's 
    over, 
    it's 
    over 

    Verse 4

    Angry 
    artists 
    painting 
    angry 
    signs 

    Use 
    their 
    vision 
    just 
    to 

    blind 
    the 
    blind 

    Poisoned 
    players 
    of 
    a 
    grizzly 
    game 

    One 
    is 
    guilty 
    and 
    the 
    other 
    gets 

    the 
    point 
    to 
    blame 

    Pardon 
    me 
    if 
    I 
    refrain 

    Verse 5
    I 
    declare 
    the 
    war 
    is 
    over 

    It's 
    over, 
    it's 
    over 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    So 
    do 
    your 
    duty, 
    boys, 

    and 
    join 
    with 
    pride 

    Serve 
    your 
    country 
    in 
    her 

    sui
    cide 

    Find 
    the 
    flags 
    so 
    you 
    can 

    wave 
    goodbye 

    But 
    just 
    be
    fore 
    the 
    end 
    even 

    treason 
    might 
    be 
    worth 
    a try 

    This 
    country 
    is 
    too 
    young 
    to 
    die 

    Verse 7
    I 
    declare 
    the war 
    is 
    over 

    It's 
    over, 
    it's 
    over 

    Verse 8

    One-legged 
    veterans 
    veterans 

    will 
    greet 
    the 
    dawn 

    And 
    they're 
    whistling 
    marches 

    as 
    they 
    mow 
    the 
    lawn 

    And 
    the 
    gargoyles 
    only 

    sit 
    and 
    grieve 

    The 
    gypsy 
    fortune 
    teller 
    told 
    me 

    that 
    we'd 
    been 
    deceived 

    You 
    only 
    are 
    what 
    you 
    believe 

    Verse 9
    I 
    believe 
    the 
    war 
    is 
    over 

    It's 
    over, 
    it's 
    over

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
