    Verse 1
    On 
    the 

    Overland 

    Express 

    On 
    the 

    Overland 

    Express 

    I 
    was 
    born 
    into 
    the 
    world 
    one 
    night 

    Mom 
    and 

    Dad 
    were 
    with 
    a show 

    We 
    were 
    always 
    on 
    the road 

    And 
    I've 
    slowly 
    come 
    to know 

    That 

    I, 
    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child 

    Like 
    kids 
    you 
    see 
    today 

    I 
    never 
    learned 
    to play 

    I 
    never 
    had 
    the time 
    to 
    occupy 
    my 
    mind 

    With 
    all 
    the childhood 
    things 

    Like 
    roundabouts 
    and 
    swings 

    And 
    puppy 
    dogs, 
    oh 
    why 

    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child 

    I 
    never 
    had 
    the 
    fun 
    you 
    get 

    from 
    being 
    young 

    The 
    only 
    friends 
    I 
    had 

    Were 
    showmen 
    like 
    my 
    dad 

    And 
    none 
    of them 
    could 
    see 

    The 
    little 
    boy 
    in 
    me 

    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child 

    When 
    you're 
    going 
    through 
    the mill 

    In 
    the 
    world 
    of 
    vaudeville 

    All 
    the 
    fun 
    in 
    life 
    can 
    pass 
    you 
    by 

    See 
    the curtains 
    coming 
    down 

    Another 
    train, 
    another 
    town 

    Little 
    wonder 
    that 
    I found 

    That 

    I, 
    I 
    never 
    was 
    a child 

    Never 
    had 
    the 
    time 

    I, 
    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child 

    In 
    this 
    one 
    life 
    of mine 

    I 
    lost 
    the 
    sweetest 
    time 

    But 
    now 
    that 
    I 
    am 
    grown 

    With 
    children 
    of 
    my 
    own 

    I'm 
    surely 
    gonna 
    see 

    They're 
    luckier 
    than 
    me, 

    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child 

    I 
    never 
    was 
    a 
    child

      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 🙂

      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.
