    Verse 1
    Mama, 

    Mama, 
    come 
    and 
    listen 
    now 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    what 
    I 
    saw 

    When 
    I 
    was 
    down 

    by 
    the 
    railway 
    gates 

    I 
    was feeling 
    bored 

    Then 
    a 
    goods 
    train 
    rolled 
    up 

    Clickety 
    -clack 

    You 
    say 
    there 
    ain't 

    nothing 
    spe
    cial 
    in 
    that 

    Oh 
    but 
    it 
    was 
    crowded 
    down, 

    it 
    was 
    loaded 
    down 

    With 
    men 
    all 
    wearing 
    rag
    s 
    and 
    frowns 

    And 
    if 
    you 
    want 
    to listen 

    to 
    what 
    I've 
    been 
    told 

    They 
    say 
    tonight 
    it's 
    on 

    for 
    young 
    and 
    old 
    in 
    our 
    town 

    Yeah, 
    tonight 
    in 
    our 
    town 

    So 
    won't 
    you 
    spare 
    a 
    smile? 

    Can't 
    you 
    shed 
    a 
    tear? 

    In 
    these 
    sad 
    times, 
    in 
    these 
    bad 
    times 

    In 
    these 
    hungry 
    years 

    Well, 
    some 
    say 
    they 
    are 
    fruit 
    peel
    ers 

    They 
    are 
    up 
    for 
    honest 
    work 

    And 
    some 
    they 
    are 
    just 
    part 
    -time 
    men 

    A 
    little bit 
    down 
    on 
    their 
    luck 

    So 
    why 
    is 
    it 
    you 
    are 
    frowning, 
    Dad, 

    when 
    I 
    say 
    they're 
    not 
    that 
    bad? 

    Oh, 
    they 
    are 
    tired 
    men, 

    they're 
    unhired 
    men 

    They 
    ain't 
    slept 
    or 
    walked 

    since 
    who 
    knows 
    when 

    And 
    if you 
    wan
    na listen, 

    if

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
