    Verse 1
    My 
    old 
    man 
    had 

    rounder's
    soul. 

    He'd hear an 
    old 
    freight 
    train. 

    Then 
    he'd have 
    to 
    go. 

    Said 
    he'd been 
    blessed 
    with a gipsy 

    bone. 

    Verse 2

    That's the reason 
    they 
    guessed 

    He'd 
    been cursed 
    to 
    roam. 

    Came 
    into town 
    back 
    be
    fore 
    the war. 

    Verse 3
    Didn't 
    even 
    know 
    what 
    it was 

    He 
    was looking 
    for. 

    He 
    carried 
    a tattered 
    bag 
    for 
    his 
    violin. 

    Verse 4
    It was full 
    of lots 
    of 
    songs 

    Of places 
    that he'd 
    been. 

    He 
    talked 
    real 
    ea-sy 
    had 

    had a smil
    ing 
    way 

    Verse 5
    To 
    pass 
    along 
    to 
    you 

    When 
    his fiddle 
    played. 

    Making 
    people 
    drop their 
    cares 

    and 
    woes. 

    Verse 6

    To hum out 
    loud 
    those 
    tunes 

    That his 
    fiddle 
    howed. 

    Till the 
    people 
    there 
    began 

    to join 
    that 
    sound. 

    Verse 7
    And 
    everyone 
    in town 
    was 
    laughing. 

    Singing, 
    dancing 
    round. 

    Like 
    the fiddler's 
    tune 
    was all 

    they 
    heard 
    that night. 

    Verse 8
    As 
    if some 
    dream 
    said 

    "All 
    the world 
    is right" 


    His 
    fiddler's 
    eye 
    caught 
    one 
    beauty 
    there. 

    Verse 9
    She 
    had 
    that rollin' 
    flowin' 

    golden 
    kind 
    of hair. 

    He 
    played 
    for her 
    as if 
    she danced 
    alone. 

    He 
    Verse 10
    played 
    his favorite 
    songs. 

    Ones 
    he called 
    his own. 

    He played 
    until 
    she 
    was 
    the 
    last 
    to 
    go. 

    Verse 11
    He 
    stopped 
    and packed 
    his 
    case 

    And 
    said he'd 
    take 
    her 
    home. 

    Verse 12
    All 
    the nights 
    that passed 

    child 
    was 
    born. 

    All 
    the years 
    that passed. 

    That love 
    would keep 
    them 
    warm. 

    All 
    their lives 
    they'd 
    share 

    a dream 
    come 
    true. 

    Verse 13

    All 
    because 
    she 
    danced 

    while 
    his 
    fiddle 
    tuned. 


    My 
    old man 
    had 
    round

    er's soul. 

    Verse 14

    He'd hear 
    an old 
    freight 

    train. 

    Then he'd have 
    to go. 

    All 
    that I 
    re
    call 
    said 
    when 

    I was 
    so young. 

    Verse 15

    No one 
    else 
    could 
    really 

    Outro 1
    Sing 
    those 
    songs 
    he 
    sung.

    • 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.
