If you were gonna play rock and roll or any upbeat [Em] number and you wanted to take a guitar ride
You would end up playing like Chuck or what you learned from Chuck because there is very little
[F] Actually other choice
There's not a lot of other ways [C] to play rock and roll other than the way Chuck plays it
If you try to play, you know all this stuff that's like [B] I was doing the double string stuff
[Am] [Dbm]
It oh, it's really full, you know
And [Ab] if you if you give me a [A] break in a fast, you know, and [E] I start playing single single lines
It doesn't sound right.
It just doesn't sound right.
It sounds thin or something or or too
Fiddly.
Well, you know like to go
[A] It
[B] would be okay, but it wouldn't be as good [Am] as
[B] [Am] [Bm] Really for me anyway, so he's really laid the law down for playing that that kind of music
Okay, okay
Acapella one two, three four [A] when I see [Em] those big brown eyes.
That's when I take [Am] my cue
Don't take us [G] but a few minutes to get a message [D] to talk to you.
You talk to me
[F] It don't take but a few
[Gb] If you say it right
[C] Don't take it's better if you wait Hold [A] it
It [Dm] [A] don't take [Gbm] but a few
Okay, [B] it don't take but a few okay one it don't take straight away one two, three four
It don't [Am] take but a [N] few minutes to get a man's not to understand each understand each other
[D] Am I gonna remember that?
[B]
There's a whole mixture of things I hear Latin and country jazz the whole thing makes a beautiful hybrid
But it seems like there's not an understanding [A] on his part [Eb] that he's a great songwriter.
He just kind of sloughs it off
Not entirely.
I'm not too sure.
I don't I've only just met him and it's hard to say
[Abm] From just knowing him this shorter time
Really what his kind of acceptance of the whole thing is first of all
I thought I'd heard stories that he was very bitter and he thought people have ripped him off
And in order to think that you must be aware of how far
Your influence is spread I
Don't really know if he's if he's completely aware of how much people love his music, you know
Because I know he's more he's he's often
Very keen to be a showman and that can be a sign of the fact that you're not very secure with what you really are
Good at you know
When I like to hear him play those ballads and things like that.
I know that's deep in his [Bb] heart
And if he was doing that on stage, then I kind of feel that he was more
