    Verse 1
    (Red 
    Lane) 

    Verse 2
    I am just 
    an 
    Indian 
    and 
    once 

    this 
    was 
    my 
    land 

    Now 
    it's 
    been 
    taking 
    from 
    me 
    by 

    the coming 
    of 
    white 
    man 

    And 
    the 
    anger 
    makes 
    my 
    blood 
    run 

    hot 
    and 
    heavy 
    in 
    my 
    veins 

    Everytime 
    think 
    about 
    the 

    com
    ing 
    of 
    the 
    train
    s. 

    Verse 3
    The 
    day 
    was 
    hot 
    and 
    dusty 

    in 
    the year 
    of 
    '69 

    As 
    we 
    heard 
    the whistle 
    blowing 

    some
    where 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    That 
    was 
    the year 
    rode 
    with 

    Frank 
    and 
    Jesse 
    James 

    As 
    we 
    waited 
    for 
    the coming 
    and 

    the go
    ing 
    of 
    the train
    s. 

    Verse 4
    The drought 
    hit 
    west 
    Texas 
    the 

    ground 
    was cracked 
    and dry 

    We 
    just 
    had 
    to 
    have 
    some 
    water 
    or 

    our 
    crops 
    would 
    surely 
    die 

    The 
    railroad 
    shipped 
    this 
    water 
    till 

    we 
    fi
    nally 
    got 
    some 
    rain 

    And I 
    thanked 
    God 
    for 
    the coming 

    and 
    the 
    go
    ing 
    of 
    the train
    s. 

    Verse 5

    lived 
    behind 
    these 
    iron 
    bars 
    I'm 

    a prisoner 
    doing 
    time 

    And 
    I've 
    heard 
    that 
    midnight 
    freight 

    pass 
    at 
    least 
    the thousand 
    times 

    And 
    spent 
    my 
    time 
    a walk
    ing 
    to 

    the door 
    and 
    back 
    again 

    And 
    marking 
    down 
    the coming 
    and 

    the go
    ing 
    of 
    the train
    s. 

    Verse 6
    I've 
    always 
    been 
    an 
    engineer 

    and 
    trains're all 
    I know 

    Ah 
    they 
    don't 
    want 
    me 
    anymore 
    and 

    they say 
    that 
    I'm 
    too 
    old 

    But 
    my 
    cabin 
    at 
    the 
    cross
    ing 
    sorta 

    helps 
    to 
    ease 
    my 
    pain 

    For 
    just 
    had 
    to 
    feel 
    the 
    coming 
    and 

    the 
    go
    ing 
    of 
    the 
    trains. 

    Verse 7

    The trucks 
    and 
    planes're faster 
    now 

    and 
    the railroad 
    is 
    too 
    slow 

    And 
    they 
    just 
    came 
    and told 
    me 

    that 
    my 
    railroad 
    has 
    to 
    go 

    The 
    hands 
    that 
    built 
    the 
    railroad 
    through 

    sweat 
    and 
    blood 
    and 
    pain 

    Will 
    sign 
    the 
    final 
    papers 
    of 

    the go
    ing 
    of 
    the train
    s. 

    Verse 8
    And 
    have 
    seen 
    the 
    coming 
    and 

    the going 
    of 
    the 
    trains...

    • 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.
