    [Piano] 

    Virgil 
    Caine 
    is 
    the 
    name 

    And 
    served 
    on 
    the 
    Danville 
    train 

    'Til 
    Stoneman's 
    cavalry 
    came 

    And 
    tore 
    up 
    the 
    tracks 
    a
    gain 

    Pre-chorus 1
    In 
    the 
    winter 
    of 
    '65, 
    we 
    were 
    hungry, 

    just 
    barely 
    alive 

    By 
    May 
    the 
    tenth, 
    Richmond 
    had 
    fell 

    It's 
    time 
    re
    member, 
    oh 
    so 
    well 

    Chorus 1
    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    people 
    were 
    singing 

    They 
    went, 
    "Na, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    na, 
    na 

    La 
    la, 
    na, 
    na, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la" 


    Verse 2
    Back 
    with 
    my 
    wife 
    in 
    Tennessee 

    When 
    one 
    day 
    she 
    called 
    to 
    me 

    "Virgil, 
    quick, 
    come 
    see 

    There 
    goes 
    the 
    Robert 
    E. 
    Lee" 

    Pre-chorus 2
    Now 
    don't 
    mind 
    choppin' 
    wood 

    And 
    don't 
    care 
    if 
    the 
    money's 
    no 
    good 

    You 
    take 
    what 
    you 
    need 

    and 
    you 
    leave 
    the 
    rest 

    But 
    they 
    should 
    never 
    have 

    taken 
    the 
    very 
    best 

    Chorus 2
    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    the 
    bells 
    were 
    ringing 

    The 
    night 
    they 
    drove 
    old 
    Dixie 
    down 

    And 
    all 
    the 
    people 
    were 
    singing 

    They 
    went, 
    "Na, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    na, 
    na 

    La 
    la, 
    na, 
    na, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la, 
    la" 


    Verse 3
    Like 
    my 
    father 
    be
    fore 
    me 

    will 
    work 
    the 
    land 

    And 
    like 
    my 
    brother 
    a
    bove 
    me 

    Who 
    took 
    rebel 
    stand 

    Pre-chorus 3
    He 
    was 
    just 
    eighteen, 
    proud 
    and 
    brave 

    But 
    Yankee 
    laid 
    him 
    in 
    his 
    grave 

    swear 
    by 
    the 
    mud 
    be
    low 
    my 
    feet 

    You 
    can't 
    raise 
    Caine 
    back 
    up 

    when 
    he's 
    in 
    de
    feat

    • 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.
