    Verse 1
    C

    I used to be a railroad
    G

    bum a living on the go

    I rode freights from Canada down to Mexico
    C

    From sunny Cal to Minnesot where
    G

    the rippling waters falls

    I never seemed to have a dime
    C

    but I had myself a ball
    G

    Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be
    C

    a railroad bum but I'm not anymore

    I walked in the Silver Dollar
    G

    in Reno one night

    Dropped a quarter in a one armed
    C

    bandit the lemons lined up right

    Took my winnings then played poker
    G

    and I won ten thousand more

    I used to be a railroad bum but
    C

    I'm not anymore
    G

    Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a

    When cotton's white in Tennessee
    G

    and shrimp boats sail in Maine

    Peach picking time soon will find
    C

    me ridin' a Georgia train

    Couse I get restless when I'm
    G

    still I guess I always will

    Want to keep traveling all my
    C

    life over another hill
    G

    Singing hi le hi lo he li le li lo I used to be a

    • 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.
