Chords for tommy emmanuel guitar lesson

So much.
When I was seven years old I heard the great Chet Atkins on the radio.
_ _ Forever can _ _ _ [F#]
sit me on a chest [G] that I've never faltered from.
When I first heard him I could hear that he was playing the bass part, the rhythm part and the melody part all at the same time.
And most people in Australia in those days thought it was a recording trick.
I don't know whether a lot of people over here thought it was a trick or not. _ _
_ _ But _ _ _ _ _ _ Chet did do this.
_ [A] _
[G#] It was Chet who I heard first doing it and then I heard Mel Travis.
_ [F#] _ So when I [G] heard that I just knew what was [D] going on.
And I started off with a pleasure and it wasn't [G#] until I bought the album The Best of Chet Atkins where there was a photo of him on the cover with a sort of dark coloured [N] branch.
I saw this thing on his thumb. _ _ _ _ _ _
Now ladies and gentlemen I know that there are many of their artists _ _ _ _ _ _ out there this evening.
I'm going into my radio.
[F#] My very very good friends in radio. _
_ _ _ _ _ To whiz home and [G] take that guitar out from under the bed.
_ _ [F#] _ _ [N] _
_ Mr Sheen it up. _
So I'm hoping that you're going to be inspired. _ _ _
Now great expense to the management here I'm doing this.
_ It's included in the _ _ _ _ _ short guitar lesson.
So I would _ suggest that you rush out immediately.
Well not right this minute.
Stay here because we're in a hurry.
Tomorrow when you get up and dust off that guitar whiz out to a music shop.
Hey I want one of those thumb picks like I [Gm] got from [B] Australia. _
_ _ One of Tony's picks.
Isn't it funny like my name's Tommy right.
That's an easy name do you remember. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
So I end up calling myself Tony Enamel for a while.
_ _ Not too many people have made that. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
The thing I like about it.
_ _ _ [G#] _ _ _
_ _ Where was I.
Oh yes I was giving you a lesson.
I didn't mean to rush past her that.
Thank you.
_ _ _ _ [A#] _
These _ _ _ _ [F#] are just coming off the top of my head.
_ _ So [N] here's what you've got to do.
See what I'm doing up here is what I. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You're going to find.
What a rebel.
This thing in here.
_ This thing does. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Slightly mute the string.
And now.
Get. Get.
You can't let it go like this.
[Am] _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
Here.
Let me take a couple of these.
_ [E] _ You [Em] practice this until your thumb swells up and goes blue.
The dog starts howling.
And your wife leaves you.
That's pretty much.
Then you'll know you've got it right.
_ I'm only [A] serious.
So.
_ _ And then when you think you've got a bit of.
Independence going.
Then you keep your little finger down and allow the other.
_ That they join in the dance.
Now.
[Am] We've got [A] to get independence between thumb and fingers.
So.
We play a chord.
Per bar like this.
_ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ And the thumb has to keep going.
Okay.
And you might want to. _
_ _ [A] Now once you've got that down.
[Em] The police will be driving [Am] by.
Checking for any cameras.
The dogs [E] run off with [Em] their cat next door.
Your wife's standing outside.
So.
Now you're really getting some.
Okay.
So now we.
We put a little accent.
A little skip beat.
At the end of each bar.
[Am] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ [F#] _ You can do this till the 40.
[Am] _ _ _ _ Okay.
When you [B] can do that.
You start to get a feel for it.
Right.
Then you learn a song.
And put all this good.
Music.
Now the first song that I heard Ted play.
[Fm] Was a tune called Trambone.
[B] And I'm not going to play that tonight.
I'm going to play a song.
Written by John B.
[F] Lennon.
And he told himself that he wrote this song.
[A] Called.
Ted.
When I'm recording a lot of [B] Jazz.
I [G] wanted to kind of.
Why don't you say.
_ _ [B] It's a lot in the middle.
[G#] It's bluesy.
It has a lot of funky.
Has a little jazz.
It's [G] a little.
[F#] So I'm going to do.
