Verse 1

E                                A7
When I bought this guitar it had brand new strings
E               B7
brand new strap all those things
E                   A7
brand new pick both thumb and flat
E                  B7          E
all the elementary things like that

Verse 2

E                             A7
I went ahead and took it everywhere I went
E                               B7
couldn't count the hours that I must've spent
  E                                A7
I heard the girl was lookin' for a guitar man
       E            B7    E
I'll ablidge her anyway I can

Chorus
       A             G#m
'cause I can win her over
     F#m           E
like Romeo did Juliet
   A          G#m
If I can only show her
      F#                                     B
I can learn to pick that Figato(?) lick like Chet

E                               A7
It'll take more than Mel Bay 1, 2, & 3
       E                     B7
If I'm ever gonna play like CGP(?)
   E                           A7
My legato is staccato but what I don't fret
   E                      B7      E
is droppin' any note that I don't get
