  • Verse 1
    Well 
    I got 
    my mail 
    late 
    last 
    night 

    letter 
    from 
    a girl 
    who 

    found 
    the time 
    to write 

    To 
    her lonesome 
    boy 

    somewhere 
    in 
    the 
    night 

    She 
    sent 
    me 
    a railroad 
    ticket, 
    too 

    To 
    take 
    me to 
    her loving 
    arms 

    And 
    the big 
    steel 
    rail 

    Gonna 
    carry 
    me home 
    to the 
    one 
    love 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 2
    Well 
    been 
    up tight 
    most 
    every 
    night 

    Walking 
    along 
    the streets 
    of this 
    old town 

    Not 
    a friend 
    to 
    tell 
    my 
    troubles 
    to 

    My 
    good 
    old car 
    she done 

    broke 
    down 

    'Cause 
    I drove 
    it 
    into 
    the ground 

    And 
    the big steel 
    rail 
    gonna 
    carry 

    me home 
    to 
    the one I 
    love 

    Verse 3

    Well 
    look 
    over 
    yonder 
    across 
    the 
    plain 

    The 
    big 
    drive 
    wheels 
    a-pounding 

    along 
    along 
    the ground 

    Gonna 
    get on 
    board 
    and I'll 

    be homeward 
    bound 

    Now 
    ain't 
    had 
    a home 

    cooked 
    meal 

    And Lord 
    I need 
    one 
    now 

    And 
    the big 
    steel 
    rail 
    gonna 
    carry 

    me home 
    to the 
    one 
    I love 

    Verse 4
    Well, I been 
    out here many 

    a long 
    days 

    I haven't 
    found a place 

    that I could call 
    my own 

    Not a two bit 
    bed to lay my 
    body on 

    I been 
    stood 
    up I been shook 

    down 

    I bin dragged 
    into 
    the sand 

    And 
    the 
    big 
    steel rail 
    gonna carry 

    me home 
    to the one I love 

    Verse 5
    Now 
    here 
    am 
    with my 

    head 
    in the 
    sand 

    Walking 
    on 
    the 
    broad highway 

    will 
    you give 
    a ride 

    To 
    a lonesome 
    boy 
    who 

    missed 
    the train 
    last 
    night 

    went 
    in 
    town 
    for one 
    last 
    round 

    And 
    I gambled 
    my ticket 
    away 

    And 
    the big 
    steel 
    rail 
    won't 
    carry 
    me home 
    to the 
    one 

    love

    • 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.
