["Daylaid

Short"]
G
D
G

Well, I'm a daylaid the dollar short, daylaid the dollar short,
D

daylaid the dollar short, and I got no time at all.

Well, I hitchhiked for three thousand

miles to see the one I love so dear.

They said she married yesterday,

and a rich man married her.

G

Well, I'm a tail late to dollar short, tail late to dollar short,

tail late to dollar short...
D

And I got no time at all.

Well, they told me I should go out

west, out to a booming town,

But when I finally got there, well,

the boom had just died down.
G

Well, I'm a tail late to dollar short,
D
G

tail late to dollar short, tail late to dollar short...
A
D

I ain't got no time at all.

But then the fortune hit me,

I was caught up on a quiz.

I answered every question.

Man, I was a whiz.

But when they went to pay me,

a man dressed up so fine,

he said, wait a minute, buddy,

you forgot to give me mine.

I said, crazy, what a joker.

Now tell me, who are you?

He said, I'm from the

Department of

Internal

Revenue.

Ah, but he was a generous man.

He didn't go too far.

He let me keep enough to
G
D

buy myself an old guitar.

So then I went to playin' and singin' country style. I really did all right,

or at least for a while.

But then the trend changed,

and rock and roll moved in.
G

Now I'm a daylady down the shore,
D

and buddy, I'm out again.
G
D
G

And, well, I'm a daily pedometer short, daily pedometer short,
D

daily pedometer short, and I got no time at all.

  • 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.
