    Verse 1
    Men 
    walking 
    'long 
    the 
    railroad 
    tracks 

    Going 
    someplace, 
    and 
    there's 
    no 
    going 
    back 

    Highway 
    pat
    rol 
    choppers 
    coming 
    up 

    over 
    the 
    ridge 

    Hot 
    soup 
    on 
    campfire 
    under 
    the 
    bridge 

    Shelter 
    line 
    stretching 
    'round 
    the 
    corner 

    Welcome 
    to 
    the 
    new 
    world 
    order 

    Families 
    sleeping 
    in 
    the 
    cars 
    in 
    the 
    southwest 

    No 
    home, 
    no 
    job, 
    no 
    peace, 
    no 
    rest 

    Chorus 1
    Well 
    the 
    highway 
    is 
    alive 
    tonight 

    But 
    nobody's 
    kidding 
    nobody 

    about 
    where 
    it 
    goes 

    I'm 
    sitting 
    down 
    here 
    in 
    the 
    campfire 
    light 

    Searching 
    for 
    the 
    ghost 
    of 
    Tom 
    Joad 

    Verse 2
    He 
    pulls 
    prayer 
    book 
    out 
    of 
    his 
    sleeping 
    bag 

    Preacher 
    lights 
    up 
    butt 
    and 
    he 
    takes 
    drag 

    Waiting 
    for 
    when 
    the 
    last 
    shall 
    be 
    first 

    and 
    the 
    first 
    shall 
    be 
    last 

    In 
    cardboard 
    box 
    'neath 
    the 
    under
    pass 

    Got 
    one-way 
    ticket 
    to 
    the 
    promised 
    land 

    You 
    got 
    hole 
    in 
    your 
    belly 

    and 
    gun 
    in 
    your 
    hand 

    Sleeping 
    on 
    pillow 
    of 
    solid 
    rock 

    Bathing 
    in 
    the 
    city 
    aque
    duct 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    highway 
    is 
    alive 
    tonight 

    Where 
    it's 
    headed 
    everybody 
    knows 

    I'm 
    sitting 
    down 
    here 
    in 
    the 
    campfire 
    light 

    Waiting 
    on 
    the 
    ghost 
    of 
    Tom 
    Joad 

    Solo 1


    Now 
    Tom 
    said, 

    Verse 3
    "Mom, 
    wher
    ever 
    there's 
    cop 
    beating 
    guy 

    Wherever 
    hungry 
    newborn 
    baby 
    cries 

    Where 
    there's 
    fight 
    against 
    the 
    blood 

    and 
    hatred 
    in 
    the 
    air 

    Look 
    for 
    me, 
    Mom, 
    I'll 
    be 
    there 

    Where 
    there's 
    somebody's 
    fighting 

    for 
    place 
    to 
    stand 

    decent 
    job 
    or 
    helping 
    hand 

    Wherever 
    somebody's 
    struggling 
    to 
    be 
    free 

    Look 
    in 
    their 
    eyes, 
    Mom, 
    you'll 
    see 
    me" 

    Chorus 3
    Well 
    the 
    highway 
    is 
    alive 
    tonight 

    But 
    nobody's 
    kidding 
    nobody 

    about 
    where 
    it 
    goes 

    I'm 
    sitting 
    down 
    here 
    in 
    the 
    campfire 
    light 

    With 
    the 
    ghost 
    of 
    old 
    Tom 
    Joad

    • 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.
