    A dollar 
    short 
    of happy, 

    can 
    I 
    get 
    one from 
    you? 

    A 
    dollar 
    short 
    on 

    Christ
    mas, 
    just 
    a smile 
    won't 
    do. 

    Stand
    ing on 
    the 
    corner 

    with 
    my 
    dog 
    named 

    Blue. 

    She 
    don't 
    know 
    it's 

    Christmas, 
    so 
    it's 
    down 
    to 
    you. 

    City 
    sidewalks, 

    busy 
    sidewalks 
    turn 
    a 
    darker 
    grey 

    Than 
    any 

    Russian 
    playwright 
    would 
    al
    low 

    Although 
    it's 
    been 
    said 
    many 
    times, 

    many 
    ways 
    I'm 
    a dollar 
    short 
    of happy 
    now 

    You 
    pulled 
    up 
    to the 
    light, 

    the 
    phone 
    up 
    to your 
    ear 

    The 
    deal 
    has 
    fallen 
    through, 

    your 
    job 
    has 
    gone 

    An 
    unfamiliar 
    look 
    of 
    pain 
    on 

    your 
    face 
    then 
    did 
    appear 

    How 
    you 
    gonna 
    tell 
    the 
    folks 
    at 
    home? 

    No 
    more 
    private 
    schools 

    or 
    exercise 
    machines 

    No 
    more 
    crazy 
    nannies 

    getting high 
    in 
    the 

    SUV 

    Meet 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    corner, 

    we'll 
    get 
    along 
    somehow 

    I'm 
    a 
    dollar 
    short 
    of happy 
    now 



    Meet 
    me 
    on 
    the 
    corner, 

    we'll 
    rub 
    along 
    some
    how 

    A 
    dollar 
    short 
    of 
    happy 
    now

      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 🙂

      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.
