Artist/Band: Cyrus Billy Ray Tabs
Song: Busy Man Tab
Busy Man
by Billy Ray Cyrus
Note: This translation was prepared in "Courier New" text format. I
played this song off of my radio, so the key may be slightly off from
the original recording. If it is, try using a capo or re-tuning your
guitar by a half-step.
Intro.: Big kudos to whoever can figure out the intro. I can pickout
the notes, but have been unsuccessful in finding the chord combinations
in this key that will allow me to do the hammer-ons. If you figure it
out, let me now and I'll update this submittal.
G C
There's a little boy standin' in the driveway, Basketball in hand.
D
Says Daddy can we play a little one-on-one.
G
You pat him on the back and say not now son, I'm a busy man.
G C
His sisters out on the sidewalk, Setin' up a lemonade stand.

Hey Daddy don't ya wanta' buy a glass from me.

"If only I had spent more time at work".
