    Verse 1
    know 
    these 
    rails 
    we're 

    on 
    like 
    I know 
    my 
    lady's 
    smile, 

    We 
    see 
    dozen 
    dreams 
    in 

    every 
    passing 
    mile. 

    Can't 
    begin 
    to count 
    the trips 

    she 
    and 
    have 
    made, 

    But 
    wish 
    had 
    dollar 
    for 
    each 
    time 

    we've 
    both 
    been 
    down 
    this 
    grade. 

    Verse 2
    And 
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    made 
    to 
    roll. 

    The 
    brakes 
    don't 
    work 
    and 
    this 
    grade's too 
    steep, 

    her 
    engine's 
    sure 
    to 
    blow. 

    And 
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    out 
    of 
    control, 

    She's 
    more 
    a roller
    coaster 
    than 

    the train 
    used 
    to 
    know. 

    Verse 3
    It's 
    one 
    hell 
    of 
    an 
    understatement, 

    to say 
    she 
    can't 
    be 
    beat. 

    She's 
    tempermental, more 

    bitch 
    than 
    a machine. 

    She 
    wasn't 
    built 
    to travel 
    at 
    speed 

    or through 
    mud slides. 

    These 
    wheels 
    are 
    bound 
    to 
    jump 
    the 
    tracks 

    be
    fore 
    they 
    burn 
    like the 
    ties 

    And 
    Verse 4
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    made 
    to 
    roll. 

    The 
    brakes 
    don't 
    work 
    and 
    this 
    grade's too 
    steep, 

    her 
    engine's 
    sure 
    to 
    blow 

    And 
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    out 
    of 
    control 

    She's 
    more 
    roller
    coaster 
    than 
    the train 
    used 
    to 

    Interlude 1
    know. 




    Verse 5
    Murphy 
    sure 
    out 
    done 
    himself 

    to pick 
    this stretch 
    of 
    track 

    I can 
    only 
    hope 
    my 
    luck 
    is 

    ridin' 
    in 
    the 
    back. 

    Well 
    have 
    pray 
    to God 
    this 

    ain't 
    the day 
    we 
    meet, 

    I've 
    done 
    about 
    everything, 

    but try 
    dragging 
    my 
    feet. 

    Verse 6
    And 
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    made 
    to 
    roll. 

    The 
    brakes 
    don't 
    work 
    and 
    this 
    grade's too 
    steep, 

    her 
    engine's 
    sure 
    to 
    blow 

    And 
    100, 000 tons 
    of steel, 

    out 
    of 
    control, 

    She's 
    more 
    a roller
    coaster 
    than 

    the train 
    used 
    to 
    know. 

    Oh, 
    Verse 7
    oh 
    I want 
    to 
    go 
    down 
    slow.

    • 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.
