_ _ Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, you may have noticed that there's a really kind of unique older guitar
Sitting on the stage right here.
I need to tell you just a little bit about that. _ _
That's a
1957
_ _ Gibson cutaway guitar
_ That's the first year that Gibson actually put a pickup and cut that away to where they can play high on the neck
I'm [Gb] telling you this because my dad gave this to me when I was 19 years old and
_ I hadn't been able to play this in many many years and
_ I finally had it restored and I got to play this recently _ _ _ _
Hadn't played it in all these years
We're y'all are going to be a part of something and see then I'm gonna make you aware of
We're gonna be filming a brand new video
And going to be released to the airwaves here in the near future
And we're gonna make reference of this guitar and my hopes that I can pass it down to the next generation
And the following generation to keep real country music [B]
alive.
[Bb] I _ _ _ _ _ _

_ [Cm] My daddy gave to me
_ It [F] was late in a time
Before I was born [Eb] in [F] 1953
[Bb] _

_ around back then
[Cm]

[Eb]
Love [F] of music to [Bb] me _ _ _ _

_ Playing [Bb] my song _ _ _
_ The way [F] my daddy did when I was a kid in [Bb] our country home _
a thousand [Eb] memories _ _ _ _
_ Flowing [Bb] through [C] me
_ [Bb] _
_ I [F] hope I'm good enough like my daddy was [Eb] back in [F] 1953
[Bb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Sometimes I feel a presence
_ _ [Cm] _
Coming over me
_ [F] When I play this guitar from my heart
[Eb] _
Really

_ _ _ Who play this old guitar
[Cm] When my days are done
_ [F] Will they still have the love for the music [Eb] from an old country [Bb]
song?
_ _ _ [C] Hope they carry [Eb] it on
_ _ _ _ Playing [Bb] my song
_ _ _ The [F] way my daddy did when I was a kid
[Bb]
A _ _ _ thousand _ [Eb]
memories
