    Verse 1
    My 
    old 

    man 
    had 
    rounder's soul 

    He'd 
    hear 
    an 
    old freight 
    train, 

    then 
    he'd 
    have 
    to go 

    He 
    came 
    through 
    town 
    back 

    before 
    the 
    war 

    Didn't 
    even 
    know 
    what 
    it 
    was 

    he 
    was 
    looking 
    for 

    Verse 2

    Carried 
    a tattered 
    bag 

    for 
    his 
    violin 

    Full 
    of 
    lots 
    of 
    song

    of 
    the places 
    he 
    had been 

    He 
    talked 
    real 
    easy, 

    had 
    a smiling 
    way 

    But 
    he could 
    pass 
    along 
    to 
    you 

    when 
    his 
    fiddle 
    played 

    Verse 3
    Mak
    ing 
    people 
    drop 
    their 

    cares 
    and woes 

    To hum 
    out 
    loud 
    those 
    tunes 
    that 

    his 
    fiddle 
    bowed 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 4
    His 
    fiddler's 
    eye 
    caught 

    one 
    beauty 
    there 

    She 
    had 
    that 
    rolling, 
    flowing, 

    glowing 
    kind 
    of 
    hair 

    Just 
    for 
    her 
    as 
    if 
    she 
    danced 
    alone 

    He 
    played 
    his 
    favorite 
    song
    s, 

    the ones 
    he 
    called 
    his own 

    Verse 5
    He 
    played 
    until 
    she 
    was 

    the 
    last 
    to 
    go 

    Then 
    he stopped 
    and 
    packed 
    his case, 

    said 
    he'd 
    take 
    her 
    home 

    And all 
    her nights 
    that passed, 

    ah, 
    child 
    was born 

    All 
    the 
    years 
    that 
    passed, 

    love 
    would 
    keep 
    them 
    warm 

    Verse 6
    Mak
    ing 
    people 
    drop 

    their 
    cares 
    and woes 

    To 
    hum 
    out 
    loud 
    those 
    tun
    es 
    that 
    his 

    Interlude 2
    fiddle 
    bowed 




    Verse 7
    Well, 
    the 
    train 
    one 
    morning 
    blew 

    lonesome 
    sound 

    As 
    if 
    it sang 
    the blues 
    of 

    what 
    it took 
    from town 

    All 
    that 
    recall 
    and said 

    when 
    I was 
    young 

    Was 
    no 
    one 
    else 
    but 
    her 
    could 
    really 
    sing 

    those 
    songs 
    he sang 

    Verse 8

    Making 
    people 
    drop 
    their 

    cares 
    and 
    woes 

    To 
    hum out 
    loud 
    those 
    tun
    es 

    that 
    his 
    fiddle 
    bowed

    • 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.
