  • Verse 1
    In 


    little 
    honky- 

    tonky village 
    in Texas 

    There's 
    a guy 
    who plays 

    the best 
    piano 
    by 
    far 

    He 
    can play 
    piano 
    any 
    way 
    that you 
    like 
    it 

    But 
    the way 
    he likes 
    to play is 

    eight 
    to the bar 

    When he plays, 
    it's 
    ball 

    He's 
    the daddy 
    of 
    them 
    all 

    Verse 2
    The people 
    gather 
    around 
    when he 

    gets 
    on the 
    stand 

    Then 
    when he 
    plays, 
    he 
    gets 
    a hand 

    The 
    rhythm 
    he beats 
    puts 

    the cats 
    in a trance 

    Nobody 
    there 
    bothers 
    to dance 

    But when 
    he 
    plays with 

    the bass 
    and gui
    tar 

    They 
    holler 
    out, 
    "Beat 
    me 
    Daddy, 

    eight to 
    the bar" 

    Verse 3
    A- 
    plink, a- plank, 

    a- plink 
    plank, plink plank 

    A- plunkin'

    a- riff 
    raff, 

    riff 
    raff 

    A- riffin' out 
    with 
    ease 

    And when 
    he 
    plays 
    with 
    the bass 

    and gui
    tar 

    They holler 
    out, 
    "Beat 
    me Daddy, 

    eight 
    to 
    the bar" 

    Verse 4
    He 
    plays 
    a boogie, he plays 

    eight to the bar 

    boogie- woogie, 

    that is 
    the way he likes 
    to 
    play on 
    his 
    piano 

    And we 
    all 

    know 

    That when he plays 
    he puts 

    them 

    all in 
    trance 

    The cats 
    all holler 
    "Hooray" 

    You'll 
    hear them say, "Beat 

    me Daddy, eight to 
    the bar"

    • 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

      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

      Lynae T

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