    I went to the station
    D

    and I waved my hand bye -bye

    Mama's gone, Mama's gone

    I went to the station

    D

    Mama's gone, Mama's gone

    Mama never left us kids before

    There were just three of us,

    me, my little brother,

    and my little sister.

    Before Mama went away,

    she said, Now Mark,

    you take care of your little brother

    and your little sister

    and your daddy while I'm gone.

    I couldn't understand why

    she was leaving,

    and I said, Well, Mama, how

    come you're going away?

    She said she was going way

    out to the country

    to take care of Grandmama

    because Grandmama got real sick all of

    a sudden. That made her sad.

    Mama's gone, Mama's gone

    Monday went by,

    Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

    Friday, Saturday, Sunday

    A whole week,

    we didn't hear a word from Mama.
    Verse 2
    D

    Then a whole other week went by,
    Verse 3

    still didn't hear a word from Mama.
    D


    Then one day, Daddy came to us

    and he said, come on kids,

    we're all going to the station.

    Oh, we knew what that meant.

    We all jumped in the car,

    we drove down to the station,

    we got there,

    we ran way out onto the platform


    and we leaned over,

    we looked way down the track.


    We could barely see the train coming.

    Smoke was coming out

    of the smokestack.

    The whistle on the train started to blow,


    and the whistle sounded like this.

    The train starts slowing down
    D

    as I pull into the station.

    Hi Mama!

    • 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.
