Skip chords and lyrics
Verse 1
(D major) ["Daylaid
Short"]
Well, (G major) I'm a daylaid the dollar short, day (D major) laid the dollar short, (G major)
daylaid the dollar short, and I got no (D major) 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.
Well, (G major) I'm a tail late to dollar short, tail (D major) late to dollar short, (G major)
tail late to dollar short...
And I got no (D major) 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.
Well, I'm (G major) a tail late to dollar short,
tail (D major) late to dollar short, (G major) tail late to dollar short...
I ain't (A major) got no time (D major) 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
buy my (G major) self an (D major) 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.
Now I'm a daylady down the (G major) shore,
and buddy, (D major) I'm out again.
And, well, (G major) I'm a daily pedometer short, (D major) daily pedometer (G major) short,
daily pedometer short, and I got no (D major) time at all.
