    When

    into 
    the

    Rolled 
    up 
    his 
    sleeves, 

    and

    up 
    his 
    bow 

    Fiddle

    to 
    make 
    living 

    you

    the 
    smoke 
    and 
    the 
    cinders 

    Slick 
    back 
    his 
    hair, 
    opened 
    up 
    his 
    case 

    Play 
    Cherokee 
    Fiddle, 

    he's 
    playing 
    for 
    the 
    whiskey 

    'Cause 
    good 
    whiskey 

    never 
    let 
    him 
    lose 
    his 
    place 

    Verse 2
    He 
    was 
    always 
    there, 

    playing 
    for 
    the 
    miners 

    Devil's 
    dream 

    was 
    song 
    they 
    under
    stood 

    Then 
    he'd 
    go 
    out 
    to 
    Okla
    homa 

    And 
    he'd 
    wait 
    till 
    the 
    train 
    was 
    running 

    and 
    the 
    weather 
    was 
    good

    slick 
    back 
    his 
    hair, 

    opened 
    up 
    his 
    case 

    Play

    he's 
    playing 
    for 
    the 
    whiskey 

    'Cause 
    good 
    whiskey 

    never 
    let 
    him 
    lose 
    his 
    place 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 3
    Now 
    the 
    Indians 

    are 
    dressing 
    up 
    like 
    cowboys 

    And 
    the 
    cowboys 
    are 
    putting 
    leather 

    and 
    turquoise 
    on 

    And 
    the 
    music 
    is 
    sold 
    by 
    lawyers 

    And 
    the 
    fools 
    who 
    fiddled 

    in 
    the 
    middle 
    of 
    the 
    station 
    have 
    gone 

    Chorus 3
    Some 
    folks 
    say 

    they 
    ain't 
    never 
    gonna 
    miss 
    him 

    Old 
    Fiddle 
    squealed 

    like 
    the 
    engines 
    brakes 

    Cherokee 
    Fiddle, 
    he's 
    gone 
    for
    ever 

    Just 
    like 
    the 
    music 
    of 
    the 
    whistle 

    that 
    the 
    old 
    locomotives 
    made 

    Chorus 4
    So 
    when 
    you 
    smell 

    the 
    smoke 
    and 
    the 
    cinders 

    (Smoke 
    and 
    the 
    cinders) 

    Just 
    slick 
    back 
    his 
    hair, 
    opened 
    up 
    his 
    case 

    (Open 
    up 
    your 
    case) 

    Play 
    Cherokee 
    Fiddle, 

    he's 
    playing 
    for 
    the 
    whiskey 

    'Cause 
    good 
    whiskey 

    never 
    let 
    you 
    lose 
    your 
    place 

    No, 
    good 
    whiskey 

    never 
    let 
    you 
    lose 
    your 
    place 

    Outro 1

    No, 
    good 
    whiskey 

    never 
    let 
    you 
    lose 
    your 
    place

    • 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.
