    • Verse 1
    Mornings 
    feel 
    so 
    damn 
    sad 

    these 
    days 

    Without the 
    call 
    of the 
    8:15 

    That old familiar 
    echo 

    Has 
    finally 
    died 
    away 

    Leaving 
    nothing 
    but a 
    chill 

    Where there 
    once 
    was 
    a mighty 
    scream 

    Verse 2
    And I've 
    watched 
    the flat 
    cars 

    Take away 
    our timber 

    I've 
    watched 
    the coal 
    cars 
    steal 
    our 
    rock 

    And 
    now that 
    we've 
    got 

    Nothing 
    left 
    to take 
    we're told 

    That the 
    wheels 
    will stop 
    turning, 

    The 
    whistles 
    will stop 
    blowing, 

    These 
    foolish 
    dreams 
    must stop 

    Verse 3

    Last 
    year they 
    closed 
    down 

    the post 
    office, 

    Took the 
    only 
    flag 
    we had 
    in 
    town 

    That 
    old 
    brick 
    building 

    Still 
    stands 
    like 
    a cenotaph 

    To 
    a vision 
    lost 
    and 
    buried 
    in 

    A 
    very 
    distant 
    past 

    Verse 4
    And 
    I've watched 
    the flat 
    cars 

    Take away 
    our timber 

    I've 
    watched 
    the coal 
    cars 
    steal 
    our 
    rock 

    And 
    now that 
    we've 
    got 

    Noth
    ing 
    left 
    to take 
    we're told 

    That the 
    wheels 
    will stop 
    turning, 

    The whistles 
    will stop 
    blowing, 

    These 
    foolish 
    dreams 
    must stop 

    Verse 5
    The 
    longest 
    train 
    I've 
    ever seen 

    Was the 
    train 
    that 
    you 
    were 
    on 

    I 
    walked 
    you to 
    the 
    sta
    tion, 

    We 
    kissed 
    and you 
    were 
    gone 

    I 
    dream 
    at night 
    about 
    you 
    coming 
    home 

    The 
    train 
    in the station, 

    Your 
    uniform 
    on 
    fire 

    As 
    you step 
    onto 
    the platform 

    The 
    band 
    plays 
    a little 
    louder, 

    And as 
    we 
    embrace 
    your 
    cap 
    falls 
    off 

    Oh, 
    I 
    guess 
    these fool
    ish 

    dreams 
    must stop 

    Verse 6

    Mornings 
    feel 
    so 
    damn 
    sad 

    these 
    days 

    Without the 
    call 
    of 
    the 
    8:15 

    Looks 
    like this 
    town 
    is 
    fi
    nally 

    Going to 
    die 
    away 

    Leaving 
    nothing 
    but 
    broken 

    promises 

    Where there 
    once 
    was small 
    town 
    dreams 

    Verse 7
    And I've 
    watched 
    the flat 
    cars 

    Take 
    away 
    our timber 

    I've 
    watched 
    the coal 
    cars 
    steal 
    our 
    rock 

    And 
    now that 
    we've 
    got 

    Noth
    ing 
    left 
    to take 
    we're told 

    That the 
    TV 
    station 
    will be 
    closing, 

    Main 
    Street 
    windows 
    will 
    need boarding, 


    That these 
    foolish 
    dream
    s 
    must 
    stop

      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

      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.
