    Verse 1
    Tossed 
    and turned 
    the night 

    be
    fore 
    in 
    some 
    old 
    motel 

    Subcon
    sciously 
    recallin' 
    some 

    old 
    sinful 
    thing 
    I'd done 

    My 
    buddy 
    drove 
    the car 
    and 
    those 

    big 
    coal 
    trucks 
    shook us 
    up 

    As 
    we 
    drove 
    on 
    into 
    Hyden 
    in 

    the 
    early 
    morning 
    sun

    Verse 2
    Past 
    the hound 
    dogs 
    and 
    some 

    domin
    eckered chickens 

    Tempor
    ary- 
    lookin' 
    houses 
    with 

    their lean 
    and 
    bashful 
    kid

    Every 
    hun
    dred 
    yards 
    a sign 
    proclaimed 

    that Christ 
    was coming 
    soon 

    And I thought, 
    "Well, 
    man, 

    he'd sure 
    be 
    disap
    pointed 
    if 
    he did." 

    Verse 3

    On 
    the 
    way 
    we talked 
    about 
    the 
    40 miners 

    Of 
    the 
    39 who died 
    and 
    one 

    who lived 
    to 
    tell 
    the tale 

    We stopped 
    for beans 
    and cornbread 

    at 
    the 
    Ed 
    & Lois 
    Cafe 

    Then 
    went 
    to see 
    the sherrif 

    at 
    the Leslie 
    County 
    Jail 

    Verse 4

    They 
    took 
    us 
    to 
    the scene 

    of 
    that 
    dis
    aster 

    I was 
    so 
    surprised 
    to not 
    find 

    any 
    sign 
    of 
    death 
    at 
    all 

    Just 
    an
    other 
    country 
    hillside 
    with 

    some mud
    holes 
    and 
    some junk 

    The mines 
    were 
    deadly 
    silent 

    like 
    a rathole 
    in 
    the wall 

    Verse 5

    "It 
    was 
    just 
    like being 
    right 

    inside 
    of a shot
    gun." 

    The 
    old man 
    coughed 
    and 
    lit 

    cigarette 
    that 
    he 
    had rolled 

    Back 
    in town 
    bought 

    heavy 
    jack
    et from 
    a store 

    It 
    was sunny 
    down 
    in Hyden 
    but 

    some
    how 
    the town 
    was 
    cold 

    Verse 6
    The 
    old 
    man 
    intro
    duced 
    the 
    under
    taker 

    Who 
    seemed 
    refreshed 
    despite 
    the kind 

    of work 
    I knew 
    he did 

    We talked 
    about 
    the pretty 
    lady 

    from 
    the Grand 
    Ole 
    Opry 

    An' 
    we talked 
    about 
    the money 
    she 

    was 
    raisin' 
    for 
    the kid

    Verse 7
    Well, 
    I guess 
    the 
    old man 

    thought 
    we 
    were 
    report
    ers 

    He 
    kep
    reminding 
    me 
    of how 

    his 
    simple 
    name 
    was spelled 

    Some 
    lady 
    said, 
    "They 
    worth 
    more 
    money 

    now 
    than 
    when they's 
    a- livin'. 

    And I'll 
    leave 
    it there 
    'cause 

    I suppose 
    she 
    told 
    it 
    pretty well

    • 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.
