    Verse 1
    I got 
    in 
    a 
    little 
    trouble 

    at 
    the county 
    seat 

    Lord, 
    they 
    put 
    me 
    in 
    the 
    jailhouse 

    For 
    loafing 
    on 
    the 
    street 

    Well, 
    the 
    judge 
    said 
    guilty 

    He 
    made 
    his 
    point 

    He said 
    forty-five 
    dollars 

    dollars 

    Or thirty 
    days 
    in 
    the 
    joint 

    Verse 2
    That'll 
    be 
    cash 
    on 
    the 
    barrelhead, hun 

    You 
    can 
    take 
    your 
    choice 

    You're 
    twenty-one 

    No 
    No 
    money 
    down 

    No 
    credit 
    plan 

    No 
    time 
    to 
    chase 
    you 

    'Cause 
    I'm 
    a 
    busy 
    man 

    Interlude 1



    Verse 3
    I 
    found 
    a 
    telephone 
    number 
    on 
    a 
    laundry 
    slip 

    I 
    had 
    a 
    good, 
    hardy 
    jailor 

    With 
    a six 
    gun 
    hip 

    He 
    let 
    me 
    call 
    long 
    distance 

    She 
    said, 
    "Number, 
    please" 

    And 
    just 
    as 
    soon 
    as 
    I 
    told 
    her 

    She 
    shouted 
    back 
    at 
    me 

    Verse 4
    Said 
    that'll 
    be 
    cash 
    on 

    the 
    barrelhead, hun 

    Not 
    part, 
    not 
    half 

    But 
    the 
    entire 
    sum 

    No 
    money 
    down 

    No 
    credit 
    line 

    'Cause 
    a little 
    boy 
    tells 
    me 

    You're 
    the travelin' 
    kind 

    Interlude 2

      Best Tuning App Ever

      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

      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

      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 🙂

      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.

      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.
