    I'll 
    catch 
    the tramline 
    Verse 1
    in 
    the morning 

    With 
    your 
    leave 
    Van 
    Bushell 
    said 

    He 
    had

    Verse 2

    Then 
    blind 
    Joseph 
    came 
    towards 
    him 

    With 
    a shotgun 
    in 
    his 
    arms 

    He said 
    you'll 
    pay 
    me 
    twenty

    Be
    fore 
    you 
    leave 
    my

    Van 
    Bushell 
    saw 
    the 
    hook 

    Which 
    re

    Joseph's 
    hand 

    He said 
    now calm 
    you 
    down 
    my 
    brother 

    Let's 
    discuss 
    this 
    man 
    to man 

    It's 
    no 
    good 
    Verse 4
    you 
    getting 
    angry 

    We 
    must 
    try 
    to 
    act 
    our 
    age 

    You're 
    pur
    suing 
    your 
    convic
    tions 

    Like 
    some 
    hermit 
    in 
    cage 

    Verse 5

    You're 
    the son 
    of your 
    father 

    Try 
    a little 
    bit 
    harder 

    Do 
    for 
    me 
    as 
    he 
    would 
    do 

    for you 

    With 
    blood 
    and 
    water 
    bricks 
    and 
    mortar 

    He 
    built 
    for you 
    home 

    You're 
    the son 
    of 
    your father 

    So 
    treat 
    me 
    as 
    your 
    own 

    Verse 6

    Well 
    slowly 
    Joseph 
    well 

    he lowered 
    the 
    rifle 

    And 
    he 
    emptied 
    out 
    the shells 

    Van 
    Bushell 
    he 
    came 
    to
    wards 
    him 

    He shook 
    his 
    arm 
    and 
    wished 
    him 
    well 

    Verse 7

    He 
    said 
    now 
    hey 
    blind 
    man 
    that 
    is 
    fine 

    But 
    I sure 
    can't 
    waste 
    my 
    time 

    So 
    move 
    aside 
    and 
    let 
    me go 
    my 
    way 

    I've 
    got 
    a train 
    to ride 

    Verse 8
    Well 
    Joseph 
    turned 
    around 

    His 
    grin 
    was 
    now 
    a frown 

    He 
    said 
    let 
    me 
    just 
    refresh 
    your 
    mind 

    Your 
    manner
    boy 
    seem 

    hard 
    to 
    find 

    Verse 9
    You're 
    the son 
    of 
    your 
    father 

    Try 
    a little 
    bit 
    harder

    do 

    for 
    you 

    With 
    blood 
    and 
    water 
    bricks 
    and

    He 
    built 
    for 
    you 
    home 

    You're 
    the son 
    of 
    your 
    father 

    So treat 
    me 
    as 
    your 
    own 

    Verse 10

    Well 
    there's 
    two 
    men 
    lying 
    dead 
    as 
    nails 

    On 
    an 
    East 
    Virginia 
    farm 

    For 
    charity's 
    an 
    argument 

    That 
    only 
    leads 
    to 
    harm 

    Verse 11

    So 
    be 
    careful 
    when 
    they're 

    kind 
    to 
    you 

    Don't 
    you 
    end 
    up 
    in 
    the 
    dirt 

    Just 
    re
    member 
    what 

    I'm saying 
    to 
    you 

    And 
    you 
    likely 
    won't 
    get 
    hurt 

    Verse 12

    You're 
    the son 
    of 
    your 
    father 

    Try

    bit 
    harder 

    Do

    own

    • 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.
