Intro 1

Verse 1
I 
hear 
the 
train 
a-comin' 

It's 
rollin' 
'round 
the 
bend 

And 
I 
ain't 
seen 
the 
sunshine 

Since, 
I 
don't 
know 
when 

I'm 
stuck 
in 
Folsom 
prison 

And 
time 
keeps 
draggin' 
on 

But 
that 
train 
keeps 
a-rollin' 

On 
down 
to 
San 
An
tone 

Verse 2
When 
I 
was 
just 
a 
baby, 
my 
mama 
told 
me 

"Son, 
always 
be 
a 
good 
boy 

Don't 
ever 
play 
with 
guns" 

But 
I 
shot 
a 
man 
in 
Reno 

Just 
to 
watch 
him 
die 

When 
I 
hear 
that 
whistle 
blowin' 

I 
hang 
my 
head 
and 
cry 

Interlude 1



Verse 3
I 
bet 
there's 
rich 
folks 
eatin' 

In 
a 
fancy 
dinin' 
car 

They're 
probably 
drinkin' 
coffee 

And 
smokin' 
big 
cigars 

Well, 
I 
know 
I 
had 
it 
comin' 

I 
know 
I 
can't 
be 
free 

But 
those 
people 
keep 
a-movin' 

And 
that's 
what 
tortures 
me 

Interlude 2



Verse 4
Well, 
if 
they 
freed 
me 
from 
this 
prison 

If 
that 
railroad 
train 
was 
mine 

I 
bet 
I'd 
move 
it 
on 

A 
little 
farther 
down 
the 
line 

Far 
from 
Folsom 
prison 

That's 
where 
I 
want 
to 
stay 

And 
I'd 
let 
that 
lonesome 
whistle 

Blow 
my 
blues 
a
way

    Best Tuning App Ever

    "

    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 🙂

    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!!!

    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.
