Ode To Chet Lyrics

Artist: Clint Black
Album: Nothin' But The Taillights

When I bought this guitar it had brand new strings
brand new strap all those things
brand new pick both thumb and flat
all the elementary things like that

I went ahead and took it everywhere I went
couldn't count the hours that I must've spent
I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man
I'll ablidge her anyway I can

'Cause I can win her over
like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that Figato(?) lick like Chet

It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, & 3
If I'm ever gonna play like CGP(?)
My legato is staccato but what I don't fret
is droppin' any note that I don't get

'Cause I can win her over
like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that Figato(?) lick like Chet

'Cause I can win her over
like Romeo did Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that Figato(?) lick like Chet

Figato should be changed to "legato" (definition: in a manner that is smooth and connected (as between successive tones) �used especially as a direction in music)

Ditto on changing Figato to "legato". It's also "oblige", not "ablige". "CGP" is correct and stands for "certified guitar player", which was coined by Chet Atkins. The last line should be "I can almost pick that legato lick like Chet".
