    Verse 1
    A 
    little 
    child 
    on 
    a 
    sickbed 

    lay 
    and 
    death 
    was 
    very 
    near 

    She 
    was 
    the 
    pride 
    and 
    only 
    child 

    of 
    a 
    railroad 
    engin
    eer 

    His 
    duty 
    had 
    called 
    him 
    from 
    those 
    he 

    loved 
    and 
    seeing 
    that 
    hope 
    was 
    dim 

    While 
    a 
    tear 
    he 
    shed 
    to 
    his 
    wife 
    he 
    said 

    just 
    have 
    two 
    lan
    terns 
    trimmed 

    Just 
    hang 
    a 
    light 
    as 
    I 
    pass 
    tonight 

    hang 
    it 
    where 
    it 
    can 
    be 
    seen 

    If 
    our 
    baby's 
    dead 
    just 
    show 
    the 
    red 
    if 
    she's 

    better 
    then 
    show 
    the 
    green 

    Interlude 1

    Verse 2
    In 
    a 
    little 
    house 
    by 
    the 
    railroad 
    track 

    a 
    mother 
    with 
    watchful 
    eye 

    Saw 
    a gleam 
    of 
    hope 
    and 
    a 
    feeble 
    smile 

    as 
    the 
    train 
    went 
    rushing 
    by 

    Just 
    one 
    short 
    look 
    was 
    his 
    only 

    chance 
    to 
    see 
    the light 
    agleam 

    In 
    the 
    midnight 
    air 
    there 
    arose 
    a prayer 

    thank 
    God 
    the 
    light 
    was 
    green 

    Just 
    hang 
    a 
    light

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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.
