    Verse 1
    Am

    On a cold
    C

    and rainy night I was sittin' in the light
    Am
    G

    Oh my switchman shack of mine
    Am

    post on the mountain

    The storms were pretty bad and
    C

    the telephone was dead
    Am
    G
    Am

    But it was just eleven hours till the dawn.
    Verse 2
    C

    Then much to my surprice
    G

    the telegraph jumped in the light
    Dm

    As I read the code I thought
    Am

    could this be true

    The train was on its way headed
    C

    up to mountain grade
    Am
    G
    Am

    But she didn't have no engineer or crew.
    Verse 3
    Am

    At the other switch they tried to put her
    C

    on the mountain side
    Am

    But she kept on coming
    G
    Am

    up the mountain grade

    But I quickly dowse the light to
    C

    try to see into the night
    Am

    Maybe I could spot her head
    G
    Am

    light in the rain.
    Verse 4
    C

    She was poundin' down below I
    G

    could hear her whistle blow
    Dm

    And I thought Lord that's a high
    Am

    and mournful sound

    Then the telegraph again there's
    C

    a caving in the mine
    Am
    G

    And the hundred men have burried

    neath the ground.
    Am
    Bbm
    Verse 5


    Lord, she's coming now I see her round
    Db

    the bend and straight at me
    Bbm

    And her ballet is glowin'
    Ab
    Bbm

    red as coal in hell

    The headlinght switchin' wide
    Db

    searchin' all the mountain side
    Bbm

    But the only sound she's
    Ab
    Bbm

    making it's a wail.
    Verse 6
    Db

    Then I re cognized the train by
    Ab

    the number and the name
    Ebm

    It's from miners Silver Ghost
    Bbm

    0- 40- 1

    Then she vanished up the track
    Db

    by the lonely swutchman shack
    Bbm

    Like a mother who was
    Ab
    Bbm

    looking for her son.
    Verse 7
    Bbm

    Now I heard the story how
    Db

    an engine went to glory
    Bbm
    Ab
    Bbm

    Over fifty years ago in the same line

    It was steaming for the caving there
    Db

    were men needed saving
    Bbm

    But it missed the curve in
    Ab
    Bbm

    trestle near the mine.
    Verse 8
    Db

    And every now and then you'll
    Ab

    hear a whistle on the wind
    Ebm

    It's from mountail slides
    Bbm

    where many men're lost

    It's a high and lonely wail and searching
    Db

    up and down the mountain
    Bbm
    Ab

    It's the train they call the Miners
    Bbm

    Silver Ghost.
    Verse 9
    Bbm
    Ab

    The train they call the Miners
    Bbm

    Silver Ghost.
    Ab
    Bbm

    The train they call the Miners Silver Ghost...

    • 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.
