    Verse 1
    A stranger 
    lying 
    on 
    bar 
    room 
    floor 

    Had 
    drank 
    so 
    much 
    he 

    could drink 
    no 
    more 

    And 
    so 
    he 
    fell 
    asleep 
    with 

    a troubled 
    brain 

    To dream 
    that 
    he 
    rode 
    on 

    Verse 2
    that 
    down 
    bound 
    train 


    The 
    engine 
    with 
    blood 
    was 

    sweaty 
    and 
    damp 

    And 
    brilliantly 
    lit 
    with 
    brimstone 
    lamp 

    And 
    imps 
    for 
    fuel 
    was 
    shovelling 
    bones 

    While 
    the 
    furnace 
    rang 
    with 

    Verse 3
    thousand 
    groans 


    The 
    boiler 
    was 
    filled 
    with 
    lots 
    of 
    beer 

    The devil 
    himself 
    was 
    the 
    engineer 

    The 
    passengers 
    were 

    most 
    a motley 
    crew 

    Some 
    were 
    foreigners 
    and 
    others 
    he 
    knew 

    Verse 4
    Rich 
    men 
    and 
    lost 
    beggars 
    in 
    rags 

    Handsome 
    young 
    ladies 

    Interlude 1
    and 
    wicked 
    old 
    hags 


    Verse 5
    As 
    the 
    train 
    rushed 
    on 
    at 

    terrible 
    pace 

    Sulfuric fumes 
    scorched 

    their 
    hands 
    and 
    face 

    Verse 6
    Wider 
    and 
    wider 
    the country 
    grew 

    Faster 
    and 
    faster 
    the 
    engine 
    flew 

    Louder 
    and 
    louder 
    the 

    thunder 
    crashed 

    Verse 7
    Brighter 
    and 
    brighter 
    the 
    lighting 
    flashed 

    Hotter 
    and 
    hotter 
    the 
    air 
    became 

    Til' 
    their 
    clothes 
    were 
    burned 

    with 
    each 
    quivering 
    refrain 

    Then 
    out 
    of 
    the 
    din 
    there 
    came 
    yell 

    Ha ha, 
    said 
    the 
    devil 
    we're 
    nearing 
    home 

    Verse 8
    Oh, 
    how 
    the 
    passengers 

    shrieked 
    with 
    pain 

    They 
    go 
    to 
    Satan 
    with this 

    Verse 9
    down 
    bound 
    train 


    The stranger 
    awoke 
    with 
    an 
    anguished 
    cry 

    His 
    clothes 
    wet 
    with 
    sweat 

    and 
    his 
    hair 
    standing 
    high 

    Verse 10
    He 
    fell 
    on 
    his 
    knees 
    on 
    the 
    bar 
    room 
    floor 

    And 
    prayed 
    a prayer 
    like 
    never 
    before 

    And 
    the prayers 
    and vows 
    were 
    not 
    in 
    vain 

    For 
    he 
    never 
    rode 

    that 
    down 
    bound 
    train

    • 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.
