Verse 1
Em

Well, this is what we like to call the

booty -shaking segment of the show.

Now, I don't particularly care

if you're good or not good

at shaking your booty,
D
Am

that really has nothing to do with it.
Em
D

See, I don't know if I'm
Am

particularly good at it,

but that does not prevent
Em
D

me from trying.
Am

Because booty shaking

is a lot like pizza.
Em
D
Am
Em

Even when your booty shaking is bad, you know,
D
Am

somebody's still gonna think it's pretty good.
Em

So don't be too concerned
D
Am

what your booty shaking looks like.
Em
D

This could be a good opportunity
Am
Em

to turn to somebody you know and say,
D
Am
D
Em
D

excuse me while I shake my booty.
Am

It might be a good opportunity
Em
D

to meet somebody worth shaking
Am

your booty with, see?
Em
D

Now, this song is about one of the three
Am

most important things in life,
C
Em
D
Am

because we all need love.
Em

And secondly,
D
Am

we all need really good food.
Em
D

And third, we all need money.
Am

Now this song is strictly
Em
D
Am

about cash.
Em

When I heard this song I thought to myself
D
Am

well that's pretty fundamental

but I'm going to do it anyway.
Em
D
Am

Cause why not.
Em

Let's talk it down shall we.
D

I need a dollar, a dollar,
Am

a dollar that's what I need.
C
Em
D

Hey hey. I need a dollar, a dollar,
Am

a dollar that's what I need.
C
Em
D

Hey hey. I need a dollar, a dollar,
Am

a dollar, that's what I need
Em
D

If I share with you my story,
Am
Bm

would you share your dollar with me?
Em
D

Bad times coming
Am

and I reap what I don't sow
Em
D

Well, let me tell you something,
Am
Em

all that glitters ain't gold
D

Spend a long old trouble,
Am

long old troublesome road
C
Em
D

And I'm looking for somebody
Am

to come and help me carry this load
Em
D
Am

I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar,

that's what I need
Em
D
Am

I need a dollar, a dollar, a dollar,

that's what I need
Em
D

I need a dollar, a dollar,
Am

a dollar, that's what I need
C
Em
D

If I share with you my story,
Am
Bm

would you share your dollar with me?
Em
Am

Well, I don't know if I'm

walking on solid ground
Bm
Em

Cause everything around
Am

me is falling down
Bm
Em
Am

And all I want is someone to
C
G
F
C
G

help me

Here at the party, everyone's happy
C
G

If he were tired, distraught by lightness

Who he would feel it?
C

Who he could heal it?
Am
Em

Who he would try?
G
Em

name is Panther John
G
F
C

Ow, ow
Dm
C

Whoa, whoa
D

You're still too big to know
C

But I'm incapable of rescuing you
D

You're far too damn easy to keep on

That's why you're only
C

trying something new

And then when you just

can't hold up

There are over here flies on cake,

  • 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.
