Sugar On The Floor chords by

Verse 1
Down in Kentucky,
G
back in the old days
when my mother and
father were growing up,
they used to square dance
on Saturday nights.
They used to dance on the old punching floors,
you know, they were real rough.
And they would want to make them slicker,
so they would throw something
on the floor
to make them slicker.
Sometimes it would be sugar,
sometimes cornmeal,
and sometimes salt,
you know, something just to shuffle your feet
around on to make the floors more slippery
and easier for dancing.
And the expression was,
when they started dancing,
and they'd been dancing for a little while,
somebody holler out sugar on the floor
throw a little sugar on the floor
and that would be sort of a sign
for everybody to start this little this kind of clog that
they did when they threw the sugar on the floor
they clog around it and
slick in the floor up
C
Sugar on the floor, sugar on the floor,
G
eat that up and all the more.

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!!!”

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.”
