    Verse 1
    All 
    around 
    the 

    water 
    tank 

    Sleepin' in 
    the 
    rain 

    A thousand 
    miles 
    away 
    from 
    home 

    Waitin' 
    for 
    a train 

    Verse 2
    I 
    walked 
    up 
    to 
    a 
    brake- 
    man 

    Just 
    to give 
    him 
    a line 
    of 
    talk 

    He said 
    if 
    you've 
    got 
    money 

    I'll 
    see 
    that 
    you 
    don't 
    walk. 

    Verse 3
    Well 
    I 
    haven't 
    got 
    a 
    nickel 

    Not 
    a penny 
    can 
    I 
    show 

    He said 
    "Get off, 
    you 
    railroad 
    bum" 

    And 
    he slammed 
    the 
    boxcar 
    door. 

    Verse 4

    Well 
    he put 
    me 
    off 
    in 
    Texas 

    A 
    state 
    I 
    dearly 
    love 

    With the 
    wide 
    open 
    spaces 

    All 
    around 
    me 

    Verse 5
    The moon 
    and 
    stars 
    above 

    Nobody 
    seem
    s 
    to 
    want 
    me 

    Or to 
    lend 
    a 
    helping 
    hand 

    I'm 
    on 
    my 
    way 
    from 
    Frisco 

    Interlude 1




    Verse 6
    Heading 
    back 
    to 
    Dixieland 

    My 
    pocketbook 
    is 
    empty 

    My 
    heart 
    is 
    full 
    of 
    pain 

    I'm 
    a 
    thousand 
    miles 

    away 
    from 
    home 

    Wait
    in' 
    for 
    a 
    train.

    • 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.”
