    Verse 1
    Cisco 
    Clifton 

    had a 
    fillin' 
    sta
    tion 

    About 
    a mile 
    an
    d a half 
    from 
    town 

    Most 
    cars 
    passed 
    unless 

    they were 
    out of gas 

    So 
    Cisco 
    was always 
    around 

    Verse 2
    Regular 
    gas 
    was 
    all 
    that it sold 

    Except 
    tobacco 
    matches 
    and oil 

    Other 
    than 
    that 
    he fixed 
    lots 
    of 
    flats 

    Keepin' 
    Cisco 
    rough 
    hand
    soiled 

    Verse 3
    He'd 
    wipe 
    the gas 
    and 
    check 
    the air

    In a hundred 
    times 
    a day 

    He patiently 
    gave 
    direction

    On how 
    to get 
    to 
    the state 

    high
    way 

    Verse 4

    Usually 
    he'd 
    give 
    'em water 

    Or a 
    tyre 
    or two 
    some air

    And once 
    a big 
    black 
    Cadillac 

    Spent 
    seven 
    dollars 
    there 

    He'd 
    give 
    anybody 
    anything 
    they'd 
    ask 
    Verse 5


    And lend 
    anything 
    he had 

    His tools 
    are 
    tyres 
    bump
    er jacks 
    or wire 

    To 
    the good 
    ones 
    or the bad 

    Verse 6
    In wintertime 
    there was 
    a depot 
    stove 

    An
    d a table 
    for 
    a check

    er game 

    And every 
    mornin' 
    at sunup 

    The same 
    checker 
    players 
    came 

    Verse 7

    So 
    Cisco 
    Clifton's 
    fillin' 
    station 

    Was 
    al
    ways 
    in the red 

    Personal 
    loans 
    were 
    per
    sonally 
    gone 

    But 
    nev
    er 
    a word 
    was 
    said 

    Verse 8
    One 
    mornin' 
    at eight, 

    them 
    checker 
    player

    Heard 
    a big 
    bull
    dozer 
    roar 
    like 
    a freight 

    And Cisco 
    said 
    hope 
    my kids 

    stay 
    fed

    When they 
    build 
    that Interstate 

    Verse 9
    He'd 
    managed 
    to 
    pay 
    for 
    property 

    Where his 
    little 
    fillin' 
    station 
    sat 

    And 
    friends 
    still 
    came 
    for 
    checker 
    game 

    So 
    Cisco 
    settled 
    for that 

    He 
    wouldn't 
    Verse 10
    say 
    so 
    but 
    Cisco 
    knew 

    That 
    the Interstate 
    was too 
    much 
    to 
    fight 

    But to 
    keep 
    his will 
    and 
    to 
    pay 
    his bills 

    He 
    did 
    odd jobs 
    at 
    night 

    Verse 11
    He 
    still 
    opened 
    up 
    at sunrise 

    And 
    the checker 
    game 
    went 
    on 

    The 
    cars 
    flew 
    past 
    on highest 
    gas 

    And the 
    neighbors 
    had sold 
    out 
    and 
    gone 

    Verse 12
    If 
    a car 
    ever did 
    go 
    by 
    he was 
    lost 

    And 
    if 
    they stopped 
    they were 

    treated 
    the 
    same 

    So 
    at Cisco 
    Clifton's 

    fillin' 
    station 

    There's 
    howdy 
    and a 

    checker 
    game

    • 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.
