    Be
    ing 
    six 
    years 
    old, 

    I 
    had 
    seen 
    some 
    trains 
    before 

    So 
    it's 
    hard 
    to figure 
    out 

    what 
    I'm 
    at 
    the 
    depot 
    for 

    Trains 
    are 
    big and 
    black 
    and 
    smoking, 

    steam 
    screaming 
    at 
    the 
    wheels 

    Big
    ger 
    than 
    anything 
    there 
    is, 

    at 
    least 
    that's 
    the 
    way she 
    feels 

    Trains 
    are 
    big 
    and black 
    and 
    smoking, 

    loud 
    on 
    July 
    4th 

    And 
    everybody's 
    acting 
    like 
    this 

    might 
    be 
    something 
    more 

    More 
    than 
    just 
    picking 
    up 
    the 
    mail 

    Other 
    sol
    diers 
    from 
    the 
    war 

    There's 
    something 
    even 
    old 
    man 

    Wyman 
    nev
    er 
    seen 
    be
    fore 

    It's 
    a 
    late 
    afternoon 

    on 
    a 
    hot 
    Texas 
    day 

    Some 
    strange 
    is 
    going 
    on, 

    we's 
    all 
    in 
    the 
    way 

    There's 
    50, 

    60 
    people 
    left 
    sit
    ting 
    on 
    their cars 

    The 
    old 
    men 
    left 
    their 
    dominoes 

    and come 
    down 
    from 
    the 
    bars 

    Everybody's 
    checkin' 

    Old 
    Jack 
    Kittrell 
    checks 
    his watch 

    Us 
    kids 
    put 
    our 
    ears 
    to 
    the rails 

    to 
    hear 
    him pop 

    We 
    all 
    already 
    know 
    that 

    They 
    finally 
    said 
    train 
    time 

    We 
    thought 
    that 
    Jesus 
    Christ 
    himself 

    was 
    rollin' 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    But 
    things 
    got 
    real 
    wild 

    Mama 
    jerked 
    me 
    back 

    But 
    not 
    before 
    I 
    got 
    a chance 

    to lay 
    nickel 
    on 
    the 
    track 

    Look 
    out, 
    here 
    she comes, 

    she's 
    comin' 

    Look 
    out, 
    there 
    she goes, 

    she's 
    gone 

    Scream
    in' 
    straight 
    through 
    Texas 

    like 
    a 
    mad 
    dog 
    cyc
    lone 

    Big 
    and 
    red 
    and 
    silver, 

    she 
    don't 
    make 
    no 
    smoke 

    She's 
    a fast 
    rollin' 
    streamline 

    com
    in' 
    to 
    show 
    the folk

    I 
    said,

    she's 
    comin' 

    Look

    got this 
    far 

    Aw,

    I 
    got 
    a

    smashed 
    flatter 
    than

    By 
    a

    dog 
    runaway 

    red 
    silver 
    stream

      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.
