The Wreck Of The Number Nine chords by 
Jim Reeves 
N/A•3 views•
Key: G major•BPM: 94
Verse 1
G
D
In my early days of singing, I did folk songs and tragic songs,
G
and this was one of my favorites
D
G
when I used to do concerts all alone in college,
E
first one place to another, when I was called
on to take the guitar and
G
play and sing.
That's the best way to do folk songs,
just with a guitar.
D
G
Then you can use any meter you want to, out of time,
out of meter, stop and talk a minute
it and start again.
D
That's the way I used to like to do tunes.
G
This is a song coming
D
G
from the hills of
D
Kentucky in the coal mining country.
G
D
They used to bring it out in these
G
dinky little trains, you know.
And they were always
D
G
jumping the track.
D
And this is the
G
story of one of them.
It's the wreck of number nine.
One dark stormy night,
C
not a star was in sight
G
The north wind came
D
howling down the line
G
There stood a brave engineer,
C
with his sweet heart so dear
G
D
G
And his orders to flow number nine
D
She kissed him goodbye
G
with a tear in her eye
C
G
D
The joy in his heart he couldn't hide
G
The whole world seemed bright
C
for she told him that night
G
That tomorrow she'd
D
G
be his blushing bride
The wheels hummed a song
C
as the train rolled along
G
The black smoke came
D
pouring from the stack
G
The headlight, a gleam,
C
seemed to brighten his dream
G
D
G
Of tomorrow, when he'd be going back
D
He sped round the hill and
G
his brave heart stood still
C
G
D
The headlight was shining in his face
G
He whispered a prayer as
C
he threw on the air
G
D
For he knew this would be
G
C
G
his final race
D
G
In the wreck he was found
C
lying there on the ground
G
D
He asked them to raise his weary head
G
His breath slowly went as
C
this message he
G
D
Sent to a maiden who thought
G
she would be wed
D
There's a little white home
G
that I built for our own
C
G
Where I dreamed we'd be happy,
D
you and I
G
But I leave it to you,
C
for I know you'll be true
G
D
Till we meet at the golden gates, goodbye
G

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

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.”
