N/A
Verse 1
Bm

Look at that headlight
G
Am

shining through the rain
C

Well it must be that old

Santa
G
D
G

Fe freight train

I'm standing on salty old tile on
Bm

an old adobe porch
C

Across the street, the

Baptist church,
D
G

God's own neon torch.
Bm

Well my baby's sleepin' safe inside,

I'm the shadow, she's the light.
C

Now here comes the sound of the
D

Santa
G

Fe at midnight.

Baby wakes up and calls to me, what
Bm

is that lonesome sound?
C

It echoes off the mountain,
D
G

out near the lights of town

I say, hush now,
Bm

I'll come to you, oh de woe, so tight
C

And rock you to the sound of the
D

Santa
G

Fe at midnight
C

Blowing through those
F
C

cotton fields near the

Canateo
G

River breaks
Em
Bm

Past the shanty towns of old
F

Walrath, the

Eagle and the
D

Snake
C

Blowing across

West
D
Em

Texas, rattling our home site
G

The music of the
D

Santa
C

Fe at midnight
Em

I'm making love to the sound of the
D

Santa
G
C
Bm
Am

Fe at midnight
C
Bm
D

G

Well, look where we have ended up
Bm

On the edge of the great southwest
C

Staring at those restless trees along
D
G

the water ditch.

And up the street the

Rio

Grande like
Bm

Egypt's old

Blue

Nile,
C

With a memory of the early ones who
Bm
G

rested here a while.

But now the freight trains and long -haul trucks,
Bm

they're passing through.
C

And they don't have the urge to
D
G

wink at the likes of me and you
Gm

It's all just diesel smoke, iron rail,
G
Bm

and a running string of lights
C

The music of the
D

Santa
G

Fe at midnight
C

Blowing through those
F
C

cotton fields near the

Canateo
G

River breaks
Em
Bm

Past the shanty towns of old
F
D

Juarez, the eagle and the snake
C

Blowing across

West
D
Em

Texas, rattling out of sight
G

The music of the
D

Santa
C

Fe at midnight
Em

Making love to the sound of the
Bm

Santa
D
G
C
Bm

Fe at midnight
Am

  • 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.
