  • Verse 1
    Here's 
    a song 

    that we had 
    recorded 

    on Capitol 
    Records. 

    It's 
    about the 
    American 
    Civil 
    War. 

    It 
    was recorded 
    by a 
    group 

    called 
    The Band 
    first, 

    and we 
    liked it 
    real well, 

    so we recorded 
    it ourselves. 

    And 
    the 
    name 
    of it is 
    entitled, 

    The Night They 
    Drove Old 
    Dixie 
    Down, 

    and 
    it goes 
    like this, 

    and we 
    hope you like 
    it. 

    Virgil 
    Cain 
    is 
    the 
    name 

    and 
    served 
    on 
    the 
    Danville 
    train 

    Held 
    Stallman's 
    cavalry 
    cane 

    and 
    tore 
    up 
    the 
    tracks 
    again 

    In 
    the 
    winter 
    of 
    65 
    we 
    were 
    hungry 

    and 
    just 
    barely 
    alive 

    By 
    May 
    10th, 
    Richmond 
    had 
    fell 

    It 
    was 
    a time 
    re

    member 
    oh 
    so 
    well 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    people 
    were 
    singing 

    And 
    they 
    went 
    la

    Like 
    my 
    father 
    before 
    me, 

    I'm 
    working 
    man 

    An
    like 
    my 
    brother 
    that 
    loved 
    me, 

    he 
    took 
    rebel 
    stand 

    He 
    was 
    just 
    18, 
    proud 
    and 
    brave 

    But 
    the 
    Yankees 
    drained 
    him 
    in 
    his 
    grave 

    swear 
    by 
    the 
    blood 
    below 
    my 
    feet 

    They 
    can't 
    make 
    cane 
    rise 
    up 

    when 
    he's 
    in 
    de
    feat 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 

    In 
    the 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    All 
    the 
    people 
    were 
    singing, 
    they 
    went 

    La

    • 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.
