  • Verse 1
    Put 
    away 
    these 
    foolish 
    tears, 

    this 
    is 
    something 
    you'll 
    forget. 

    Said 
    the 
    railway 
    engineer, 

    as 
    the 
    tracks 
    were 
    turning 
    wet. 

    You're 
    wrong 
    to 
    paint 
    noose 

    around 
    your 
    neck

    Put 
    away these 
    foolish 
    tears 
    of 
    regret 

    You 
    encounter 
    every 

    kind 
    of 
    trouble 
    on 
    this 

    train 

    There 
    are 
    those 
    who 
    would 
    return 

    There 
    are 
    those 
    who 
    can't 
    remain 

    There 
    are 
    those 
    who 
    mourn 

    what 
    hasn't 
    happened 

    Put 
    away 
    these 
    foolish 
    tears 
    of 
    re
    gret 

    And 
    long 
    into 
    night, 
    we 
    kept 
    rollin' 

    Marking 
    the time 
    from 
    town 
    to town 

    Watching 
    the 
    coal 
    fire 
    burn
    ing 

    The 
    brakeman 
    never 
    uttered 
    a sound 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 2
    You're 
    attracted 
    to 
    the way 

    the 
    journey 
    has 
    to en

    But 
    for 
    me 
    it never 
    stops, 

    it 
    re
    verses 
    to 
    begin 

    And 
    every 
    switch 
    maneuver 
    has 
    been 
    set 

    Put 
    away 
    these 
    foolish 
    tears 
    of 
    regret 

    Now 
    could have 
    argued 

    quick 
    with 
    the 
    banter 

    of 
    the one 

    But 
    emotion 
    was 
    a trick 

    was 
    trying 
    to 
    leave 

    behind 

    And 
    as 
    was 
    turning 

    sick 
    the porter 
    said 

    Put 
    away these 
    foolish 
    tears, 
    put 
    away 
    these 
    foolish 
    tears, 

    put 
    away these 
    foolish 
    tears, 
    let's 
    stop 
    again.

    • 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.
