Verse 1
C
My old man
Dm
G
had a rounder soul
He'd hear an ol' freight train
C
and he'd have to go
Said he'd been blessed with a
Dm
G
gypsy bone
And that's the reason I guess that
C
he'd been cursed to roam
Dm
G
Came to town back before the war
Didn't even know what it was
C
he was lookin' for
Dm
G
He carried a tattered bag for his violin
Full of lots of songs of the
C
places he had been
Dm
He talked real easy and
he smiled and waved
G
He could pass along to you
C
when his fiddle played
Dm
Makin' people drop their
G
cares and woes
And hum out loud the tunes
C
that his fiddle bowed
Dm
Til the people there began to join
G
that sound
And ev'ryone in town was laughin,'
C
singin,' dancin' 'round
Like the Fiddler's tunes we all
Dm
G
there heard that night
C
Like some dream that says all
F
G
C
the world is right
Instrumental Break
Dm
The Fiddler's eye caught a beauty there
G
She had that rollin' flow
C
in' golden kind of hair
He played for her as if she
Dm
G
danced alone
He played his favorite songs,
C
the ones he called his own
Dm
She alone was dancin'
G
in the room
C
F
The only thing left movin' to that Fiddler's tune

Instrumental break
C
Dm
He played until she was the last to go
G
The he stopped and packed his case,
C
said he'd take her home
In all the nights that passed
Dm
G
a child was born
In all the years that passed,
C
love would keep them warm
And all their lives they'd share
Dm
G
that dream come true
And all because she danced so well
C
F
G
his fiddler tune
C
Instrumental break
The train next mornin' blew a
Dm
G
lonesome sound
C
As if she sang the blues of what
she took from town
Dm
And all that I recall that was said
F
G
when I was young
C
Dm
There's no one else could really sing those
C
songs he sung

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
