    • Verse 1
    It 
    happened 
    an hour 
    ago, 

    Way 
    down 
    in this tunnel 
    of 
    coal, 

    Gas 
    caught fire 
    from 
    somebody's 

    lamp. 

    And the miners 
    are choking 
    in 
    smoke. 

    Verse 2
    Goodbye 
    to Dickie 
    and Honey, 

    Good
    bye 
    to the wife that 
    I 
    love. 

    Lot of these 
    men 
    not coming 
    home, 

    To
    night when 
    the work whistle 

    blows. 

    Verse 3
    Dear sisters 
    and brothers 
    goodbye, 

    Dear 
    mother 
    and father good
    bye. 

    My fingers 
    are weak and 
    I 
    cannot 
    write, 

    Good
    bye Centralia, 

    good
    bye. 

    Verse 4
    It looks like 
    the end 
    for me, 

    And 
    all of my 
    buddies 
    I 
    see. 

    We're all writing 
    letters 
    to 

    chil
    dren we 
    love, 

    Please 
    carry 
    our word to 
    our 
    wives. 

    Verse 5
    We, found 
    a little place in 
    the air, 

    Crawled 
    and 
    drug ourselves 
    here. 

    But the 
    smoke 
    is bad 
    and the fumes 
    coming 
    in, 


    And the gas 
    is burning 
    my 
    eyes. 

    Verse 6
    Dear 
    sisters 
    and brothers 
    goodbye, 

    Dear 
    mother 
    and father good
    bye. 

    My fingers 
    are weak and 
    I cannot 
    write, 

    Good
    bye Centralia, 

    good
    bye. 

    Verse 7
    Forgive me for 
    the things I done 
    wrong, 

    I 
    love you lots 
    more than 
    you 
    know. 

    When the 
    night whistle 
    blows 

    and I don't come 
    home, 

    Do all that 
    you can to help 
    mom. 

    Verse 8
    I can hear 
    the moans 
    and groans, 

    More 
    than a hundred good 
    men. 

    Just work 
    and fight 
    and 
    try 
    to see, 

    That 
    this never 
    happens 
    again. 

    Verse 9
    Dear sisters 
    and brothers 
    goodbye, 

    Dear 
    mother 
    and father good
    bye. 

    My 
    fingers 
    are weak and 
    I cannot 
    write, 

    Good
    bye Centralia, 
    good
    bye. 

    Verse 10
    My eyes 
    are blinded 
    with fumes, 

    But 
    it sounds like 
    the men are all 
    gone, 

    'Cept 
    Joe Valentini, 

    Fred 
    Gussler and George, 

    Trapped 
    down in this 

    hell hole 
    of 
    fire. 

    Verse 11
    Please name 
    our new baby 
    Joe, 

    So 
    he'll grow 
    up like 
    big 
    Joe. 

    He'll work and 
    he'll fight and 

    he'll 
    fix up 
    the mines, 

    So 
    fire 
    can't 
    kill daddy no 
    more. 

    Verse 12
    Dear sisters 
    and brothers 
    goodbye, 

    Dear 
    mother 
    and father good
    bye. 

    My fingers 
    are weak and I 
    cannot 
    write, 

    Good
    bye Centralia, 
    good
    bye.

      "

      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.

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
