    Well, they 
    gave 
    him 
    his 
    orders 
    at 
    Monroe, 

    Virginia 

    Said, 
    Steve 
    you're 
    way 
    behind 
    time 

    This 
    is not 
    Thirty-Eight; 

    this 
    is old 
    Ninety-Seven, 

    So 
    So 
    put 
    her into 
    Spencer 
    on 
    time 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    he 
    turned 
    and 
    said 
    to his 
    black, 

    greasy 
    fireman 

    Shovel 
    on 
    a 
    little 
    more 
    coal 

    And 
    when 
    we 
    cross 
    that 

    White 
    Oak 
    Moun
    tain, 

    Watch

    And 
    then the 
    telegram 
    came 

    from 
    Washington 
    station 

    And 
    this 
    is 
    how 
    it 
    read: 

    Oh that 
    brave 
    engineer 
    that 

    ran old 
    Ninety-Seven 

    Is 
    Is 
    lying 
    in old 
    Danville 
    dead 

    Verse 4
    'Cause 
    he was 
    going 
    down the 
    grade 

    makin' 
    ninety 
    miles 
    an 
    hour 

    When the 
    whistle 
    broke 

    into 
    a 
    scream 

    He was 
    found 
    in the 
    wreck, 

    with his 
    hand 
    on 
    the 
    throttle, 

    Scalded 
    to 
    death 
    by 
    the steam

      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

      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.
