N/A
Intro 1
G


Verse 1
G

And I'd ride the Silver Eagle to
Am

the last town on the line,
D

Railroad ties are not my friend
G

the only ties that bind.

Just watch the troubled countryside
Am

gently fall away,
D

Silver Eagle, hold me, guide me,

roll me homeward from today.
G
Verse 2
D

C

Lose the track of time and let it flow back,
D

Stoke the ancient furnace
C

into flames.
D

Running barefoot in
C

the cinders of the moat pack
D

Hoppin' bedtime rides with
C

the outlaw Jesse James.
D
Verse 3


But now my heart's a worn
C

and weary vessel.
D

I been haulin' dreams that
C
D

never seem to last.
C

Once I slept beside a trembling trestle,
D


Woke up lost across the rusty
C

lifelines to the past.
D
Verse 4

G

And I'd ride the Silver Eagle to
Am

the last town on the line,
D

Railroad ties are not my friend
G

the only ties that bind.

Just watch the troubled
Am

countryside gently fall away,
D

Silver Eagle, hold me, guide me,

roll me homeward from today.
G

Verse 5
D
C

Freedom's only station to station,
D
C

A paper suitcase on the track of time.
D
C

Ain't hard to tell a hard luck situation,
D

Ain't hard to tell a homeless
C

country poet out of rhyme.
D

Verse 6
D
G

I'm gonna ride the Silver Eagle
Am

to the last town on the line,
D

There's nothing to remember if
G

there's nothing to remind.

From the gentle Texas sunshine
Am

to the Colorado snow
D

Ain't no one here to hold you, boy,
G

when the good Lord lets you go.

  • 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.
