    Verse 1
    As 
    was out 
    walking 

    on the 
    corner 
    one 
    day 

    I spied 
    an old 
    hobo, 
    in the 
    door
    way 
    he lay 

    His 
    face 
    was all 
    covered 
    in the 

    cold 
    sidewalk 
    floor 

    I guess 
    he'd been 
    there 
    for a 

    whole 
    night 
    or more 

    Verse 2
    He was 
    only 
    a hobo, 

    but one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leaving 
    nobody 
    to 
    carry 
    it on 

    Leaving 
    nobody 
    to sing 
    his 
    sad 
    song 

    Only 
    a hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    A blanket 
    of newspaper 
    covered 
    his 
    head 

    The 
    step 
    was 
    his 
    pillow 

    The 
    street 
    was 
    his 
    bed 

    One 
    look 
    at his 
    face 

    Showed 
    the hard 
    road 
    he'd come 

    And a 
    fistful 
    of money 

    Showed 
    the 
    coins 
    that 
    he'd 
    bummed 

    Verse 4

    He was 
    only 
    a hobo, 

    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    sing 
    his 
    sad 
    song 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to carry 
    it 
    on 

    Only 
    a hobo, 
    but one 
    more 
    is gone 

    Interlude 2


    Verse 5
    Does it 
    take 
    much of 
    a man 

    To 
    see 
    whole 
    life 
    go 
    down 

    To look 
    on 
    the world 

    From 
    a hole 
    in 
    the ground 

    Too 
    late 
    for your 
    future 

    Like 
    horse 
    that's 
    gone 
    lame 

    To lie 
    in the 
    gutter 

    And 
    die 
    with no 
    name 

    Verse 6

    He was 
    only 
    hobo, 

    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    sing 
    his 
    sad 
    song 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to carry 
    it 
    on 

    Only 
    hobo, 

    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone

    • 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.
