Ode to Chet Songtext
von Clint Black

When I bought this guitar, it had brand new strings
Brand new strap, all those things
Brand new picks, 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 have spent
I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man
And I′ll oblige her any way I can


'Cause I can win her over
Like Romeo and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that legato lick like Chet

It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, and 3
If I′m ever gonna play like C.G.B
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 and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can learn to pick that legato lick like Chet


I can win her over
Like Romeo and Juliet
If I can only show her
I can almost pick that legato lick like Chet
