  • Verse 1
    In 
    my early 
    days 
    of 
    singing, 
    I did 
    folk 
    songs 
    and 
    tragic 
    songs, 

    and 
    this was 
    one of my 
    favorites 

    when I 
    used 
    to do concerts 
    all 
    alone 
    in 
    col
    lege, 

    first 
    one 
    place to another, 
    when I was 
    called 

    on 
    to take the 
    guitar and 

    play and 
    sing. 

    That's the 
    best way to 
    do folk songs, 

    just 
    with a guitar. 

    Then 
    you 
    can use 
    any meter 
    you 
    want to, 
    out 
    of time, 

    out of 
    meter, 
    stop and 
    talk a 
    minute 

    it and start 
    again. 

    That's 
    the 
    way I used to 
    like 
    to do 
    tunes. 

    This 
    is a 
    song coming 

    from the 
    hills 
    of 

    Kentuck
    y in 
    the 
    coal mining 
    country. 

    They 
    used to 
    bring 
    it out 
    in these 

    dinky 
    little trains, 
    you know. 

    And 
    they were 
    always 

    jumping 
    the track

    And 
    this 
    is the 

    story 
    of one 
    of them. 

    It's the 
    wreck 
    of 
    number 
    nine. 

    One 
    dark 
    stormy 
    night, 

    not 
    a star 
    was 
    in 
    sight 

    The 
    north 
    wind 
    came 

    howling 
    down 
    the 
    line 

    There 
    stood a 
    brave 
    engineer, 

    with 
    his 
    sweet 
    heart 
    so 
    dear 

    And 
    his 
    orders 
    to 
    flow 
    number 
    nine 

    She 
    kissed 
    him 
    goodbye 

    with 
    tear 
    in 
    her eye 

    The 
    joy 
    in 
    his 
    heart 
    he 
    couldn't 
    hide 

    The 
    whole 
    world 
    seemed 
    bright 

    for 
    she 
    told 
    him 
    that 
    night 

    That 
    to
    morrow 
    she'd 

    be 
    his 
    blushing 
    bride 

    The 
    wheels 
    hummed 
    a song 

    as 
    the 
    train 
    rolled 
    along 

    The 
    black 
    smoke 
    came 

    pouring 
    from 
    the stack 

    The 
    headlight, 
    a gleam, 

    seemed 
    to brighten 
    his 
    dream 

    Of 
    tomor
    row, 
    when 
    he'd 
    be 
    going 
    back 

    He 
    sped 
    round 
    the 
    hill 
    and 

    his brave 
    heart 
    stood 
    still 

    The 
    headlight 
    was 
    shining 
    in 
    his 
    face 

    He 
    whispered 
    a prayer 
    as 

    he threw 
    on 
    the air 

    For 
    he 
    knew 
    this 
    would 
    be 

    his 
    final 
    race 


    In 
    the 
    wreck he 
    was 
    found 

    lying 
    there 
    on 
    the ground 

    He 
    asked 
    them 
    to 
    raise 
    his 
    weary 
    head 

    His 
    breath 
    slowly 
    went 
    as 

    this 
    mes
    sage 
    he 

    Sent 
    to 
    maiden 
    who 
    thought 

    she 
    would 
    be 
    wed 

    There's 
    a little 
    white 
    home 

    that 
    I built 
    for 
    our 
    own 

    Where 
    I dreamed 
    we'd 
    be 
    happy, 

    you and 

    But 
    I leave 
    it 
    to you, 

    for I 
    know 
    you'll 
    be 
    true 

    Till 
    we meet 
    at 
    the 
    golden 
    gates, 
    goodbye

      Best Tuning App Ever

      "

      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

      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 🙂

      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.
