    Verse 1
    Virgil 
    Cain 

    is 
    my 
    name 

    And 
    I 
    drove 
    on 
    a 
    brand 
    new 
    train 

    Till 
    so 
    much 
    cavalry 
    came 

    And 
    tore 
    up 
    the 
    tracks 
    again 

    In 
    the 
    winter 
    of 
    sixty 
    -five 

    We 
    were 
    hungry, 
    just 
    barely 
    alive 

    I 
    took 
    a 
    train 
    to 

    Richmond 

    That 
    fell, 
    it was 
    the 
    time 
    I 

    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 

    They 
    went 
    na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -n
    a -na 
    -na 
    -na 

    Na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na

    That 
    was 
    my 
    wife 
    in

    Tennessee, 
    one 
    day 
    she 
    said 
    to 
    me 

    Virgil, 
    quick 
    go 
    see, 

    there 
    goes 
    the 
    robbery 
    league 

    Now 
    I 
    don't 
    mind 
    them 
    chop
    ping 
    wood, 

    and 
    I 
    don't 
    care 
    if 
    the 
    money's 
    no 
    good 

    Just 
    take 
    what 
    you 
    need 
    and 
    leave 
    the 
    rest 

    But 
    they 
    should 
    never 
    have 

    taken 
    the 
    very 
    best 

    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 

    They 
    went 
    na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na

    Na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -na 
    -n
    a -na 

    -na

    Like 
    my 
    father 
    before 
    me, 
    well, 

    I'm 
    a 
    workin' 
    man 

    Like 
    my 
    brother 
    before 
    me, 

    I 
    took 
    a 
    rebel 
    stand 

    Well, 
    he 
    was 
    just 
    eighteen, 

    proud 
    and 
    brave 

    But 
    a 

    Yan
    kee 
    laid 
    him 
    in 
    his 
    grave 

    I 
    swear 
    by 
    the 
    blood 
    below 
    my 
    feet 

    You 
    can't 
    raise 
    the 
    cane 
    back 

    up 
    when 
    it's 
    in 
    the 
    field 

    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 

    They 
    went

    And 
    all 
    the 
    bells

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
