    Verse 1
    Under 
    bridges, 

    beneath 
    trestles 
    in the 
    boxcars of 
    dead trains 

    Livin' 
    to 
    beat 
    the cold 
    of 

    the pouring 
    driving 
    rain 

    A 
    silent 
    society 
    moves 
    out 
    in 
    the night 

    Ragged 
    rebels, 

    homeless 
    hobos 
    and those 
    like 
    me 
    who've 
    lost 
    the light 

    Verse 2

    St. 
    Peter 
    is 
    a prophet 
    to 
    all 
    the hobo 
    world 

    An 
    expert 
    on 
    everything 
    from caviar 
    to girls 

    I 
    met 
    him west 
    of Memphis 

    on the 
    eighth 
    of 
    July 

    He 
    handed 
    me 
    a can 
    of beans 

    and 
    a rusty 
    knife 

    And 
    he said 
    "Everything 
    out here 
    Verse 3

    ain't 
    what it 
    seem
    s 

    And 
    when you're 
    down 
    to noth
    ing, 

    just 
    go 
    ahead 
    and 
    dream 

    Face 
    the fact 
    that 
    you're 
    circle 

    in a 
    world 
    full 
    of squares 

    Trading 
    sor
    rows 
    for 
    tomor
    rows, 

    now 
    that's 
    the hobo's 
    prayer" 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 4
    Mother 
    Mary 
    is 
    a lady 
    from 

    down 
    in 
    New 
    Orleans 

    She's 
    seen 
    a lot 
    of 
    living 

    since she 
    was 
    seventeen 

    She 
    said, 
    "I'm 
    bona 
    fide 
    and 
    worldly 
    wise, 

    with 
    origin
    al 
    parts 

    'Cept 
    for what 
    set 
    me 
    to traveling, 

    I'm 
    talking 
    about 
    my 
    heart" 

    Verse 5

    She 
    said, 
    "I 
    can spot 
    a broken 

    heart 
    from 
    twenty 
    miles 
    away 

    So 
    are 
    you passing 
    through 
    or 

    have you 
    come 
    to stay 

    You're 
    running 
    from 
    a woman" 

    she 
    said 
    with 
    a grin 

    "So 
    what've 
    you got 
    to say" 
    and 
    I said, 

    "I 
    am 
    a pil
    grim" 

    Where 
    everything 
    out 
    here 
    Verse 6
    ain't 

    what it

    When I'm

    I just 
    go

    And

    the fact 
    that I'm

      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.
