Robert Earl Keen

Verse 1
G
D
Being six years old,
F
I had seen some trains before
G
So it's hard to figure out
A
what I'm at the depot for
D
Trains are big and black and smoking,
F
steam screaming at the wheels
G
Bigger than anything there is,
A
at least that's the way she feels
D
A
Trains are big and black and smoking,
loud on July 4th
Am
G
And everybody's acting like this
A
might be something more
D
More than just picking up the mail
F
Other soldiers from the war
G
There's something even old man
A
Wyman never seen before
D
Em
It's a late afternoon
on a hot Texas day
Some strange is going on,
A
D
we's all in the way
There's 50,
F
60 people left sitting on their cars
G
The old men left their dominoes
A
D
and come down from the bars
Everybody's checkin'
F
Old Jack Kittrell checks his watch
G
Us kids put our ears to the rails
A
to hear him pop
D
A
We all already know that
They finally said train time
G
We thought that Jesus Christ himself
A
D
was rollin' down the line
But things got real wild
F
Mama jerked me back
G
But not before I got a chance
A
D
to lay nickel on the track
Look out, here she comes,
she's comin'
G
Look out, there she goes,
she's gone
A
Screamin' straight through Texas
G
D
like a mad dog cyclone
A
Big and red and silver,
she don't make no smoke
G
She's a fast rollin' streamline
A
D
comin' to show the folks
I said, look out, here she comes,
she's comin'
G
Look out, there she goes,
she's gone
A
Screamin' straight through Texas
G
D
A
G
A
D
like a mad dog cyclone
She left 50, 60 people
Dm
sitting on the cars
G
Wondering what's coming to
A
D
and how it got this far
Aw, but me,
Dm
I got a nickel smashed flatter than a dime
G
By a mad dog runaway
A
D
red silver streamlined train
Look out, here she comes, she's coming
G
Look out, there she goes,
she's gone
A
Screaming straight through Texas
G
like mad dogs
D
G
A
Cyclone, big and red and silver,
she don't make no smoke
G
She's a fast rollin' streamline
A
D
comin' showin' folks
I said, look out, here she comes,
she's comin'
G
Look out, there she goes,
she's gone
A
Screamin' straight through Texas
G
like a mad dog
D
Cyclone,
look out, here she comes,
she's comin'
G
Look out, there she goes,
she's gone
A
Screamin' straight through Texas
G
like a mad dog
D
Cyclone

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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
