    With 
    your 
    kind 
    attention, 

    the 
    song 
    I 
    will 
    trill 

    On 
    you 
    who 
    must toil 

    with 
    a 
    pick and 
    the drill 

    Sweat 
    for 
    your bread 
    in 

    that 
    hole 
    in Oak 
    Hill 

    That 
    goes 
    down, 
    down, 
    down 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    a 
    lad, 
    says 
    my 
    daddy 
    to 
    me 

    Stay 
    out 
    of Oak 
    Hill, 

    take 
    my 
    warn
    ing, 
    says he 

    Or 
    with 
    dust 
    you'll 
    be choked, 

    and a 
    popper 
    you'll 
    be 
    broken 
    down, 

    down, 
    down. 

    But 
    I 
    went 
    to 
    Oak 
    Hill 

    and 
    I asked 
    for a 
    job, 

    a 
    mule 
    for 
    to drive 

    or 
    a 
    gangway 
    to 
    rob. 

    The 
    boss 
    says, 
    come 
    out, 
    Bill, 

    and 
    follow 
    the 
    mob 

    that 
    goes 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    On 
    the 
    strength 
    of 
    the job 

    and 
    the tune 
    of this 
    rhyme 

    Strolled 
    into 
    Thames 

    and drank 
    twenty 
    -five 
    shines 

    Repor
    ted 
    next 
    morning 
    half 
    dead 

    But on 
    time 
    to 
    go 
    down, 

    down, 
    down 

    All 
    aboard 
    for 
    the 
    bottom, 

    the top 
    man 
    did 
    yell 

    We 
    stepped 
    in 
    the cage 

    and 
    he ding 
    -donged 
    the 
    bell 

    Threw 
    that 
    hole 
    in 
    Oak 
    Hill 

    like 
    a 
    bat 
    out 

    Hell, 
    we went 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    She 
    was 
    blocked 
    from 
    the 
    dish 

    to 
    the 
    knuckle 
    with 
    smoke. 

    The 
    dust 
    was so 
    thick, 

    I 
    thought 
    I 
    would 
    choke. 

    Says 
    I 
    to 
    myself, 

    I guess 
    here's 
    where I 
    croak 
    away 
    down, 

    down, 
    down. 

    I 
    groped 
    to 
    a gangway, 

    I 
    got 
    me a 
    scoop. 

    The 
    cot was 
    just 
    fired, 

    muck heap 
    up 
    to the 
    roof, 

    I 
    scooped 
    and I 
    scooped 

    till my 
    back 
    looped 
    the loop, 

    stoopin' 
    down, 
    down, 
    down. 

    All 
    I 
    drew 
    for 
    the year 
    was 

    a 
    dollar 
    or 
    three, 

    Those 
    company 
    store 
    thieves 

    made 
    a 
    pumper 
    of 
    me, 

    But 
    for bal
    lads 
    like 
    this 
    one 

    I'd 
    have starved 
    for 
    a 
    spree 

    in 
    the 
    town, 
    town, 
    town. 

    Toil, 
    you 
    butterly 
    grey, 

    on my 
    poor 
    daddy's 
    head, 

    While he 
    slaved 
    at 
    Oak 
    Hill 

    to 
    provide 
    us 
    with bread, 

    I 
    wish 
    I 
    had 
    heeded 
    the 

    warning 
    he 
    pled, 

    Don't 
    go 
    down, 
    down, 
    down, 

    Don't 
    go 
    down, 
    down, 
    down.

      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

      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

      "

      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 🙂

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
