    Verse 1
    I 
    hear 
    the 
    train 
    a-comin' 

    It's 
    rollin' 
    'round 
    the 
    bend 

    And 
    I 
    ain't 
    seen 
    the 
    sunshine 

    Since, 
    I 
    don't 
    know 
    when 

    I'm 
    stuck 
    in 
    Folsom 
    prison 

    And 
    time 
    keeps 
    draggin' 
    on 

    But 
    that 
    train 
    keeps 
    a-rollin' 

    On 
    down 
    to 
    San 
    An
    tone 

    Verse 2
    When 
    I 
    was 
    just 
    a 
    baby, 
    my 
    mama 
    told 
    me 

    "Son, 
    always 
    be 
    a 
    good 
    boy 

    Don't 
    ever 
    play 
    with 
    guns" 

    But 
    I 
    shot 
    a 
    man 
    in 
    Reno 

    Just 
    to 
    watch 
    him 
    die 

    When 
    I 
    hear 
    that 
    whistle 
    blowin' 

    I 
    hang 
    my 
    head 
    and 
    cry 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    I 
    bet 
    there's 
    rich 
    folks 
    eatin' 

    In 
    a 
    fancy 
    dinin' 
    car 

    They're 
    probably 
    drinkin' 
    coffee 

    And 
    smokin' 
    big 
    cigars 

    Well, 
    I 
    know 
    I 
    had 
    it 
    comin' 

    I 
    know 
    I 
    can't 
    be 
    free 

    But 
    those 
    people 
    keep 
    a-movin' 

    And 
    that's 
    what 
    tortures 
    me 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 4
    Well, 
    if 
    they 
    freed 
    me 
    from 
    this 
    prison 

    If 
    that 
    railroad 
    train 
    was 
    mine 

    I 
    bet 
    I'd 
    move 
    it 
    on 

    A 
    little 
    farther 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    Far 
    from 
    Folsom 
    prison 

    That's 
    where 
    I 
    want 
    to 
    stay 

    And 
    I'd 
    let 
    that 
    lonesome 
    whistle 

    Blow 
    my 
    blues 
    a
    way

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
