Dm
Oh, I once had
Am
love and plenty of money
Dm
But some way, somehow,
Am
you know I failed
Yes, I did
Dm
Am
Now all, all I have in my pocket is shame
F
E
But all I can give a count of right now
Am
It's a nickel and a nail
That's all I have
F
E
I said all, all I have
Am
G
Am
Is a nickel and a nail
Dm
My friends, oh,
Am
They just don't know
G
Am
G
Dm
No, they don't
They're deep down in their hearts
Am
They think I'm doing swell
E
Am
But they don't know
Dm
Because when I'm around them I smile
Am
And every night then I jingle
G
Am
Yes, I do
F
Oh, they hear me jingling
E
Oh, they hear me jingling
Am
A nickel and a nail, that's all it is
F
E
I said all, all I have
Am
Is a nickel and a nail, yes it is
F
Now a nickel and a nail
Bb
Might save my pride, you see
C
But the need for your sweet loving
Dm
E
Oh, baby, can't you see it's killing me?
Dm
Boy, you said a long time ago
Am
You told me that the thrill was gone
I didn't believe you
Dm
You said, Milton
Boy, you better hit that old lonesome,
Am
lonesome trail
I had to leave you
Dm
Oh, baby, now that I think about it
Am
I realize you didn't care if I made it
G
I don't believe I will
E
F
E
Oh, girl, I can't go too far
Am
On a nickel and a nail
No, I can't
E
F
E
I said I can't, I can't make it far
Am
On a nickel and a nail
No I can't
If I get in trouble
If I get in jail
I ain't got enough to call nobody
To call my bail
If I get lonely
And I need to talk
I don't have enough
To make a phone call
You see nowadays
I keep my neck to a nickel
And you know I sure can't spin the nail
Oh baby I just can't go too far
On a nickel and a nail
Oh
Oh you left me with
Baby
It's a nickel and a dime, that's all I have
Oh baby, how do you expect me
to make it for a nickel and a dime?

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
