    Verse 1
    That's 
    how 
    they 
    found 
    him 

    He was 
    howling 
    at 
    the 
    moon 

    He's 
    sitting 
    right 
    there 
    on 

    the railway 
    tracks 

    And 
    the train 
    was coming 

    Verse 2

    There 
    was 
    string 
    of 
    wild 
    flowers 

    Draped 
    around 
    his 
    collar 

    And 
    when he saw 
    the 
    men 

    were coming 
    for 
    him 

    Well, 
    he began 
    to 
    holler 

    Verse 3
    He cried, 
    "Take 
    me 
    away, 

    take 
    me 
    away" 

    But the 
    men 
    could not 
    be 
    sure 

    If 
    he was 
    talking 
    to 
    them 
    or 
    talking 

    to the 
    oncoming 
    train 

    Verse 4
    Now 
    his mama 
    she 
    watched 

    reli
    gion 
    on 
    the 
    TV 

    Each 
    day 
    from dawn 

    to dusk 

    And at night 
    when 
    she'd 

    hear 
    him 
    howl
    ing 

    Well, 
    she'd cried 
    to Jesus 

    Verse 5

    For 
    years 
    she 
    begged 

    the Sweet 
    Redeemer 

    To 
    heal 
    her 
    crazy 
    son 

    Until 
    fi
    nally 
    she just 
    gave 

    up 
    on 
    miracles 

    And called 
    the men 
    to 
    come 

    Verse 6

    She told 
    them, 
    "Take 
    him 
    away, 

    take 
    my 
    son 
    away 

    'Cause 
    after 
    20 long 
    years 

    I've 
    simply 
    run 
    out 
    prayers 
    to 
    pray" 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 7
    But 
    as 
    he 
    stood 
    to 
    fight 
    the men 

    From 
    the 
    other 
    side 
    of 
    the railway 
    bed 

    He 
    thought 
    he 
    heard 
    the 
    calling 
    voice 

    Of 
    an 
    old 
    friend 
    he 
    thought 
    long 
    dead 

    Verse 8
    But 
    when 
    he 
    turned 
    away 
    from 
    the 
    men 

    He 
    found 
    it 
    was 
    stranger 

    calling 
    him 

    And 
    as 
    if 
    he 
    knew 
    that 
    man 

    He 
    smiled 
    and 
    raised 
    his 
    hand 

    Verse 9
    As 
    he stepped 
    into 
    the 
    golden 
    sun

    Of 
    the 
    headlight 
    of 
    the 
    oncoming 
    train 

    And 
    as 
    he 
    did 
    he 
    locked 
    eyes 

    with 
    that 
    stranger 

    He 
    cried 
    out 
    one 
    last 
    time 

    He 
    cried, 
    "Take 
    me 
    away, 

    please, 
    take 
    me 
    away" 

    Verse 10

    And 
    to 
    this 
    day 
    in 
    this 
    little 
    town 

    Not 
    a soul 
    knows 
    what 
    he 

    was 
    trying 
    to say 

    All 
    them 
    years 
    of shouting 
    take 
    me 
    away 

    No, 
    no 
    one 
    knows 
    what 
    he 
    was 
    trying 
    to 
    say 

    Outro 1
    Or 
    who 
    that 
    stranger 
    was

    • 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.
