Prine's name has been in the discussions for this project
_ since the very beginning.
Because as I said, he's kind of like,
_ he continues that tradition of the _ sort of
strolling minstrel [B] with his guitar.
[G#] Singer, songwriter, [B] but John's got,
[E] he's got that element [B] of,
_ _ [F#] _ _ which Bob Dylan kind of, before John,
had is that continuing in that tradition
of Woody Guthrie and [E] _ [G] Jimmy Rogers.
[F] That _ [F#m] songwriter that sees [F] stuff and he can put,
he can say, talk about [B] serious things in a humorous way

John's [B] really witty and I've always been
[E] _ just real impressed with his [B] ability as a [N] writer.
Plus, he seems to have such a good time
when he's playing the guitar and singing
that it's infectious.
It's really easy to [B] pick up on that.
