Em
G
D
C
G

There was
Asus4
D
G

a time in this fair land
D

when the railroad did not run
Em

When the wild majestic mountains
Asus4
A

stood alone again st the sun
D
G

Long before the white man
Em
D

and long before the wheel
A

When the green dark forest
C
D

was too si lent to be real

But time has no beginnings
A
D

an d the history has no bounds
Bm

As to this verdant country
A
Asus4
A

they came from all around
D
Em
A

They sailed upon her wa terways
D

and they walked the forest tall

Built the mines, mills,
A

and the factories
C
D

for the good of us all

And when the young man's fancy
A
D

was a turning in the spring
Bm

The railroad men grew restless
G
A

for to hear them hammers ring
D

Their minds were overflowing

with the visions of their day
A

And many a fortune lost and won
C
D

and many a debt to pay
A

For they looked in the future
Em

and what did they see?
C

They saw an iron road
D

running from the sea to the sea
A

Bringing the goods to a
Em

young growing land
C

All up from the seaports
D

and into their hands
A

So bring in them workers
Em

and bring up the rails
C

We gotta lay down the tracks
D

and tear up the trails
A
Em

Open her heart and let the lifeblood flow
C

Gotta get on our way
D

cause we're moving too slow
G

Get on our way
C
A
Asus4
A

cause we're moving too slow
D

Behind the blue
G
A

Rockies the sun is declining
D
G

The stars they come stealing
E
A

at the close of the day
D

Across the wide prairie
G
A

our loved ones lie asleep in
D
G

Beyond the dark forest
A
D

in a place far away

We are the poor boys
G
A

who work upon the railway
D
G

Swinging our hammers
Em
A

in the bright blazing sun
D

Livin' on that stew and a
G
A

drinkin' bad whiskey
D
G

Layin' down them tracks
A
D

till the long days are done
G

Yeah, bendin' our backs
A
D
A
D
Am
D
Am
D

till the railroad is done
Am
D

Now the song of the future has been sung
Am
A
D

All the battles have been won,
Em
Am
D

On the mountaintops we stand,
A
Am
D

All the world at our command,
Em
A
D

We have opened up the soil,
A
C
A

With our teardrops an d our toil.
D
G

There was a time in this fair land
D

when the railroad did not run
G

When the wild majestic mountains
A

stood alone against the sun
D

Long before the white man

and long before the wheel
A

When the green dark forest
C
D

was too silent to be real
A

When the green dark forest
C
D

was too silent to be real
A

And many are the dead men
C
D

too si lent to be real

  • 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.
