    Verse 1
    How 
    long 
    is 
    this 
    train 
    son 

    heard 
    his 
    fragile 
    voice 

    I didn't 
    want 
    to listen 
    but 
    there 

    really 
    was 
    no 
    choice 

    It seems 
    like 
    it 
    goes 
    on 
    forever 

    and 
    I've 
    waited 
    for 
    so 
    long 

    The 
    old 
    man's 
    breath 
    came 
    slow 

    and smelled 
    of 
    whis
    key 
    in 
    the 
    dawn 

    Verse 2
    On 
    a cold 
    November 
    morn
    ing 
    in 
    the 

    gentle 
    mis
    t of 
    rain 

    There's 
    just 
    so 
    many 
    reas
    ons 
    that 
    people 

    wait 
    to 
    meet 
    a train 

    Verse 3

    And 
    as 
    waited 
    for 
    my sis
    ter 
    to come 

    down 
    the 
    metal 
    stairs 

    He told 
    me 
    that 
    his 
    son 
    had 

    not 
    been 
    home 
    in 
    fifteen 
    years 

    And 
    barely 
    seemed 
    to no
    tice 

    the 
    tears 
    that 
    find 
    his 
    face 

    But 
    emo
    tions 
    were 
    no 
    strangers 
    to 
    the 

    people 
    in 
    this 
    place 

    Verse 4

    The 
    old 
    man 
    stood 
    there 
    waiting 
    for 

    a young 
    man 
    dressed 
    in 
    blue 

    Then 
    he 
    handed 
    him 
    neatly 
    folded 
    flag 

    and said 
    for 
    you 

    He said 
    your son 
    he 
    died 
    hero 

    in 
    the service 
    of 
    this 
    flag 

    The 
    old 
    man 
    took 
    it 
    gently 

    put 
    it 
    in 
    his 
    paper 
    bag 

    Then 
    left 
    him 
    in 
    the 
    rain 
    there 

    but 
    still 
    hear 
    his voice 

    I try 
    hard 
    not 
    to 
    listen 
    but 
    there 

    really 
    is 
    no 
    choice 

    Verse 5

    On 
    a cold 
    November 
    morn
    ing 
    in 

    the gentle 
    mis
    of rain 

    There's 
    just 
    so 
    many 
    reasons 
    that 
    people 
    wait 

    to 
    meet 
    a train 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 6
    How 
    long 
    is 
    this 
    train 
    son 

    can 
    hear 
    the 
    pour
    ing 
    rain 

    I'm still 
    reminded 
    of 
    him 

    when 
    hear 
    passing 
    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.
