    Verse 2

    Listen 
    to my 
    tale 
    of woe 

    Got some 
    good advice 
    to give 
    you 

    Lots 
    of things 
    you oughta

    Take

    travelled 

    And never

    a-ramblin' 'round

    'Cause

    want 
    to settle 
    down, 
    boy 

    You

    I asked 
    her 
    to be my

    Told 
    her I was

    of roamin' 

    Goin' 
    to settle 
    down 
    for life 

    Then 
    I heard the 
    whistle 
    blowin' 

    And I 
    knew it 
    was the 
    Red Ball 
    Train 

    And 
    left that 
    gal 
    beside 
    the railroad 

    And 
    never 
    saw the 
    gal 
    again, 
    boy 

    nev
    er 
    saw 
    the 
    gal 
    again 

    Saw 
    the 
    gal 
    again 

    I nev
    er saw 
    the 
    gal 
    again 

    Left 
    that 
    gal 
    beside 
    the 
    railroad 

    And 
    never 
    saw 
    the 
    gal 
    again

    Verse 5

    Listen 
    to 
    a Boomer's 
    story 

    Pay 
    attention 
    to what 
    say 

    Well, 
    hear 
    another 
    train 
    a-comin' 

    Guess 
    Guess 
    I'll 
    be 
    on 
    my 
    way 

    If 
    you 
    wanna 
    do 
    me 
    a favor 

    When 
    I lay 
    me 
    down 
    and 
    die 

    Just 
    dig 
    my 
    grave 
    beside 
    the 
    railroad 

    So 
    can hear 
    the trains 
    go 
    by, 
    boys 

    So 
    can 
    hear 
    the trains 
    go 
    by 

    Hear 
    the 
    trains 
    go 

    Hear 
    the trains 
    go 
    by 

    Just 
    dig 
    my 
    grave 
    beside 
    the 
    railroad 

    So 
    can 
    hear 
    the trains 
    go 
    by

    • 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.
