  • Verse 1
    Well 
    I decided 

    to take the 
    bus 

    It was about 
    6:05 

    'Cause I could 
    hardly 
    walk 

    In fact, 
    I was just 
    barely 
    alive 

    Under 
    the 
    bridges 
    and over 
    the street 

    Now 
    every 
    shadow 
    that 
    I meet 

    They 
    all 
    know 
    my 
    name 

    And 
    they whisper 

    "What's 
    mat
    ter 
    hon 

    Don't you 
    know you're 
    rid
    ing 

    Verse 2
    on the ghost 
    train" 


    Jupiter 
    Ray 
    on 
    the bus 

    I remember 
    when Jupiter 

    came 
    to town 

    He was one 
    of the best 
    of us 

    Oh, that stuff 
    can 
    really take 
    you down 

    Hey, 
    Jupiter 
    Ray 
    is 
    on the bus 

    remember 
    when Jupiter 
    was 
    alive 

    Come to 
    think of 
    it 

    You all 
    have a 
    strange 

    translucence 
    in your 
    eyes 

    What's 
    a matter 
    son? 

    Don't you 
    know you're 
    riding 

    on 
    the 
    ghost 
    train 

    Verse 3

    You just 
    buy 
    your 
    ticket 

    And 
    get on 
    board 

    This 
    train 
    don't 
    stop 

    'Cause 
    we like 
    to 
    ride, 
    ride 
    ride 
    ride 

    We just 
    want 
    to ride, 
    ride 
    ride 
    ride 

    Verse 4

    Ding 
    goes 
    the trolley 

    Bang 
    goes 
    the bell 

    Some
    body 
    call my second 
    cousin 

    I'm 
    not feeling 
    very well 

    Verse 5
    This 
    is where little 
    blondes 
    check- 
    in their 

    furs 

    This 
    is where little 
    blondes 

    check- in 
    their 
    hat 

    Don't worry 
    about 
    where 
    you 
    were at 

    We 
    took 
    care of that 

    Verse 6
    Mr driver 
    is 
    this 
    my 
    stop? 

    Mr driver 
    tell 
    me how 
    to get off 

    Any 
    way 
    you can, 
    any 
    way 

    Come 
    back 
    into 
    the light 

    Verse 7
    You 
    want to get 
    to heaven 

    Take the 
    devil 
    by the hand 

    And you slide 
    right 
    into the 

    promised 
    land 

    'Cause this 
    could be 

    the night 

    And this could 
    be 
    the gate 

    Everybody's 
    waitin' 
    for 
    you darlin' 

    So 
    don't 
    be late 

    What's 
    a matter 
    honey? 

    Didn't 
    you 
    pay 
    your money 
    for 

    Verse 8
    the 
    ghost 
    train? 


    Well I decided 
    to take 
    the bus 

    It was about 
    6:05 

    'Cause I could 
    hardly 
    walk 

    In fact, 
    was 
    just barely 

    Outro 1
    alive

    • 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.
