Verse 1
G
Ride this train to any county
fair in this land.
Now here's a hard -working,
happy people.
Ab
Miss Jones baked the finest pie
for the contest this year,
G
and Mr. Brown's got the biggest,
fattest old sow you ever saw.
D
And all the kids are eating popcorn
G
and cotton candy.
This is Chester, South Carolina
and that year at the fair
F
my papa brought us all down
G
in a wagon
and on the way down
we picked up another family
D
that lived up the creek.
G
I was just a little boy
but I remember I kept asking Papa,
C
how much father is it?
F
How much father is it?
G
We had a young heifer tied
to the wagon
that Papa just knew
was gonna take first prize.
I didn't have no doubt
about that heifer winning first prize
F
but the main thing I was inter
G
ested in
was something else
Papa had under his seat
at the front of the wagon.
And that was an old dobro
that I thought Papa played
like nobody else in the world.
I guess by real musical standards
C
Papa didn't know too much about music,
G
but I'll tell you, that night at the fair,
F
when he played in the dance band,
Ab
G
I just had to stay awake and sit up
there and listen to
D
G
Papa play the dobro.
My papa was a hobo
when they delivered me
C
We didn't have a doctor
G
cause he couldn't pay the fee
But when the gore got too bad
to ease his misery
D
Papa played the dobro this
G
C
way
G
D
G
When company would come around,
he kept the dobro here
C
He knew he couldn't play
G
the way the other players did
Well, the guitar's resonator
was a gallon bucket lid
D
G
But Papa played the dobro this way,
C
G
D
G
and he'd go team, team, team
Well now that Papa's gone away,
Gm
G
it's hangin' by the flu
C
The top of it's busted,
G
and the strings are rusted too
It won't ever sound the way that
it did when it was new
D
G
When Papa played the dobro this way
Outro 1
And he'd go
C
G
D
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
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

“I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.”
