I just came down from Chippewa

Had as station wagon and a hundred dollars

Thinking about the girl I'd lost a year before

I hadn't seen her for some time

Thought I might go on by
D

when your memory came flooding in
Em

and you closed that door
Chorus 1
Em

Wish I was a freight train, baby
C

Wish I was a diesel locomotive
D

I'd come whistling down your track,
Em

crashing in your door

Wish I was a freight train, baby

Wish I didn't have a heart

You need a shovel for the coal
Em

just to get me started

Wish I was a freight train, baby
D
Em

Wish I was a freight train
Verse 2
Em

Well, every time I talk to you
C

I hear your jealous lines
D

I feel like I've been left abandoned
Em

on some old railway side

And every time I hear your voice
C

my water just gets cold
D

My stoker will not stoke
Em

and my boiler will not boil
Chorus 2
Em

Wish I was a freight train, baby

Wish I was a diesel locomotive

I could not get ahead

And every time I slip behind

even further back

I wish some switch man would come out
Em

of the fog and change my track

  • 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.
