The Hobo chords by 
Jerry Reed 
N/A•
Key: B major•BPM: 77
Verse 1
G
On the dark side of Chicago,
C
I heard an old lonesome hobo
G
As he whistled, Dixie,
it took my mind way back
D
G
To Mama's dear sweet angel smile
C
And the tune she sang me as a child
G
And how my daddy left us long ago
D
G
On a lonesome northbound track
Well he took a nip and I walked over
C
I laid my hand on a thin old shoulder
G
And in the moonlight tired old eyes
D
Stared me right through
G
So I gave him a brand new twenty
C
And said friend this ought to be plenty
G
C
To pay for a drink
G
D
and a memory trip with you
G
C
F
C
I said I have a love for Dixie
F
C
F
C
Cause she's where I long to be
F
C
F
And I'll go home to her someday,
C
G
just wait and see
So if you're leaving in the morning
C
Well someday I'll be joining
G
C
G
So would you save a place for me
D
G
E
In the heart of Dixie
A
They say my old man rode the rails
D
So as this hobo spun his tails
A
My thoughts drifted off
in a dream with a mystery
E
A
We drank his wine till we
got Shanghai'd
D
Slept in a boxcar side by side
A
D
A
Till the morning's light struck my face
E
A
an d awoke me.
And on the hobo's arm hanging limp,
D
the sun's flicker
A
gave me a glimpse of something
E
that took me by surprise.
A
Across a heart tattooed in his skin,
D
I saw the name Dixie written there.
A
D
A
And it brought a twinkle and
E
A
a tear into my eyes.
D
G
As I thought, we share a love for Dixie
D
G
D
G
D
And she's where we long to be
G
D
G
And I'll go home to her someday,
D
A
just wait and see
So if you're leaving in the morning
D
Well, someday I'll be joining
A
D
A
Lord, save a place for me
E
A
F
In the heart of Dixie
Bb
He said, well, it's about time for my run
Eb
Bb
I've got a ride to Montgomery, son
Sir, I replied,
F
that's my old stomping ground
Bb
Yeah, he said he'd hung out
there on the Rippon
Eb
Before he left a girl named Dixie
Bb
Eb
Bb
And that for years now,
F
Bb
his soul had been Alabama bound
Well, I told him I thought
Eb
I'd known his Dixie,
Bb
but that she died way back in sixty.
They say from loneliness
F
and a broken dream.
Bb
And as I said that, he just slipped away,
Eb
but left me thinkin' to this very day
Bb
Eb
that Dixie's darling
Bb
F
was the dad I'd never seen.
Bb
Eb
Ab
Lord, we shared a love for Dixie,
Eb
Ab
Eb
Ab
Eb
now he's where she went to be
Ab
Eb
Ab
And I'll go home to them someday,
Eb
Bb
just wait and see
He left me behind that morning,
Eb
but when my time comes
I'll be joining
Bb
Eb
Bb
Lord, save a place for me
F
Gm
in the heart of Dixie
Eb
Bb
Won't save a place for me
F
Bb
in the heart of Itsy.

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

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
