    Verse 1
    As 
    I 
    was 
    out 
    walking 
    on 

    a corner 
    one 
    day, 

    I spied 
    an old 
    hobo, 
    in 
    a 
    doorway 
    he lay. 

    His 
    face 
    was 
    all 
    grounded 
    in 

    the cold 
    sidewalk 
    floor 

    And 
    I 
    guess 
    he'd 
    been 
    there 

    for 
    a 
    whole 
    night 
    or 
    more. 

    Verse 2

    Only 
    a 
    hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    sing 
    his sad 
    song 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    carry 
    him 
    home 

    Only 
    a 
    hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 3
    A 
    blanket 
    of newspaper 

    covered 
    his 
    head, 

    As 
    the curb 
    was 
    his 
    pillow, 

    the 
    street 
    was 
    his 
    bed. 

    One 
    look 
    at 
    his face 
    showed 

    the 
    hard 
    road 
    he'd 
    come 

    And 
    a fistful 
    of 
    coins 
    showed 

    the 
    money 
    he 
    bummed. 

    Verse 4

    Only 
    a 
    hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    sing 
    his sad 
    song 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    carry 
    him 
    home 

    Only 
    a 
    hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Interlude 2

    Verse 5
    Does 
    it 
    take 
    much 
    of 
    a man 

    to see 
    his 
    whole 
    life 
    go 
    down, 

    To 
    look 
    up 
    on 
    the world 
    from 

    a 
    hole 
    in 
    the 
    ground, 

    To 
    wait 
    for 
    your 
    future 
    like 

    a horse 
    that's 
    gone 
    lame, 

    To 
    lie 
    in 
    the 
    gutter 
    and 
    die 
    with 
    no 
    name? 

    Verse 6

    Only 
    a 
    hobo, 
    but 
    one 
    more 
    is 
    gone 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    sing 
    his sad 
    song 

    Leavin' 
    nobody 
    to 
    carry 
    him 
    home 

    Only 
    a 
    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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      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.
