    • Verse 1
    In 
    a 
    two 
    -room 
    trailer 
    down 
    by the 

    tracks 
    on 
    the edge 
    of a 

    Tennessee 
    town, 

    Jesse 

    Clay 
    lived 
    with 
    his lady 
    and 
    a 
    one 

    -eyed 
    red 
    -boned 
    hound. 

    And 
    every 
    night 
    at twelve 
    -oh 
    -five 

    he'd 
    hear 
    that 
    whistle 
    whine. 

    Jesse 
    knew 
    the 
    train 
    to 

    Chattanooga 
    was 
    coming 
    by 
    on 
    time. 

    And 
    we all 
    knew old 

    Jesse 

    Clay 
    got 
    mean 
    when he 
    drank 
    too 
    much 

    And 

    Jesse's 
    lady 
    wore 
    the scars, 

    Miss 

    Not 
    -Too -Gentle 
    -Tough 

    And 

    Jesse 
    knocked 
    her 
    down 
    one 
    night 

    just for 
    bustin' 
    a 
    bottle 
    of 
    gin 

    She 
    hit 
    her head 
    when she 
    hit the 
    floor 

    and 
    she 
    never 
    got 
    up 
    again 

    Jesse 

    Clay 
    was 
    crazy 
    scared 
    when 

    he saw 
    her 
    lyin' 
    still 

    He 
    took his 
    lady 
    in 
    his arms 

    and 
    he 
    carried 
    her 
    up 
    the hill 

    He 
    laid 
    her down 
    on a 
    railroad 
    track 

    just an 
    hour 
    ahead 
    of 
    the train 

    And 

    Jesse 
    knew 
    that soon 
    the 1205 

    would 
    take 
    the plane 

    And 
    then 
    he 
    went 
    to town 
    and he 
    waited 

    around 
    till he 
    thought 
    the time 
    was 
    right 

    And 
    he 
    told 
    the law 
    how 
    the 
    1205 

    had taken 
    his 
    lady's 
    life 

    The 
    sheriff 
    just 
    looked 
    at 

    Jesse 
    hard 
    and said you 
    better 

    tell the 
    truth 
    this 
    time 

    Because 
    the 
    1205 
    just 
    jumped 
    the track 

    about 
    ten 
    miles 
    up 
    the line 

    And 
    no one 
    knows 
    what 
    caused 

    the train 
    to 
    leave 
    the tracks 
    that 
    night 

    It 
    never 
    happened 
    be
    fore 
    or 
    since, 

    but it 
    served 
    old 

    Jesse 
    right 

    And 
    you can 
    still 
    hear 
    the train 
    whistle 

    whine 
    as it 
    passes 
    by 
    this 
    way 

    But 
    the 
    1205 
    won't 
    ever 

    take 
    the blame 
    for 

    Jesse 

    Clay 

    No, 
    the 1205 
    won't 
    ever 

    take 
    the blame 
    for 

    Jesse 

    Clay

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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.
