    • Verse 1
    One 
    dark 
    and 
    stormy 
    night, 

    while 
    riding 
    down 
    the 
    line, 

    Rail
    road 

    Bill, 
    an engineer, 
    said, 
    boy, 

    we'll have 
    to 
    fly. 

    We've 
    got 
    to 
    be on 
    time 

    to 
    meet 
    old 
    number 
    four 

    So 
    I 
    sling 
    the call, 
    we'll 
    make 
    it four 

    I'll 
    never 
    ride 
    no more 

    While 
    in 
    the 
    rear -box 
    car 

    A 
    lonely 
    hobo 
    lay 

    Head
    in' 
    for 
    his 
    mother 
    dear 

    on 
    a 
    deathbed 
    lay, 
    he 
    raised 
    a weary 
    hand 
    to 
    brush 
    away 
    a 
    tear, 

    not 
    knowing 
    his 
    last 

    drive 
    would run, 

    and 
    fate 
    was 
    drawing 
    near. 


    When 
    through 
    the 
    darkene
    d 
    night, 

    a 
    head
    light 
    bright 
    did gleam, 

    Above 
    the 
    roar 
    of 
    a rolling 
    wheel, 

    the 
    whistle 
    out 
    did scream. 

    As 
    down 
    around 
    the 
    curve, 

    this 
    mighty 
    train 
    did roar. 

    The 
    black 
    smoke 
    rolling 
    from 
    the 
    stack, 

    came 
    fly 
    a 
    number 
    four. 


    Then 
    came 
    an 
    awful 
    crash, 

    Their last 
    long 
    drive 
    was rung, 

    There 
    on 
    the track 
    the 
    hobo 
    lay, 

    his 
    days 
    of life 
    were 
    done. 

    And 
    as 
    the 
    golden 
    sun 
    sang 

    slowly 
    to 
    the 
    west, 

    His 
    dear 
    old 
    mother 
    gently 
    smiled 

    and 
    closed 
    her eyes 
    in 
    debt.

      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 🙂

      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.
