    • Verse 1
    I be
    gin 
    once 

    again 
    , my song 
    to the 
    wind 

    In 
    a slow 
    south 
    Laredo 
    rain 

    Good
    bye 
    to the 
    ones 
    I 
    left 
    be
    hind 

    Santa 
    rosa 
    , sweet 
    Au
    gustine 

    I've 
    left 
    a thousand 
    times 
    I'm 
    leaving 
    again 

    I 
    can hear 
    those 
    engines 
    turning 

    a 
    thousand 
    and 
    one 
    as I'm 
    leaving 
    today 

    I 
    don't know 
    when 
    I'll 
    be 
    re
    turning 

    Verse 2
    Oh 
    the 
    gasoline 
    burns 
    and the 
    engines 
    turn 

    Our 
    hearts 
    got 
    caught 
    in 
    between 

    A new 
    day 
    will 
    dawn 
    but by 

    then 
    I'll 
    be 
    gone

    Verse 3
    On the 
    ground 

    last 
    night 
    I slept 
    with 
    my 
    Rose 

    Her 
    body 
    soft 
    like a pil
    low 

    With flowers 
    in 
    the air 
    and 

    her 
    limp 
    brown 
    hair 

    Dangling 
    over 
    my 
    shoulder 
    like 
    a willow 

    Verse 4
    But of 
    sweet 
    august 
    I'll say 
    no more 

    You 
    might 
    say 
    her love 
    was 
    a 
    secret 
    to me 

    with 
    her lonely 
    look
    s 
    like 

    in 
    a paperback 
    book 

    You 
    might 
    say 
    I loved 
    her 
    desperately 

    Verse 5
    Oh 
    the 
    gasoline 
    burns 
    and 
    the engines 
    turn 

    Our 
    hearts 
    got 
    caught 
    in between 

    A 
    new 
    day 
    will 
    dawn 
    but by 

    then 
    I'll 
    be 
    gone

    Rosa 
    or 
    Saint 
    Augustine 

    Verse 6
    They're 
    sifting 
    us 

    down 
    with 
    with a fine 
    tooth 
    comb 

    Like 
    there's 
    some 
    kind 
    of big 
    mystery 

    They can 
    pry 
    they can 
    tear 
    , but still 
    I'll 
    swear 

    I'm 
    takin' 
    only 
    memories 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 7
    They've 
    searched 
    our belongings 

    , they're 
    waving 
    us 
    through 

    A 
    change 
    of the 
    guard
    s 

    means 
    a new 
    deck 
    of card 

    Still 
    I'm takin' 
    only 
    memories 
    with 
    me 

    Verse 8
    Oh the 
    gasoline 
    burns 
    and the 

    engines 
    turn 

    And our 
    hearts 
    got 
    caught 
    in between 

    A 
    new 
    day 
    will dawn 
    but by 

    then 
    I'll be 
    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

      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 🙂

      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.
