Les, did you know I'm your biggest fan?
Oh, really?

it a Gretsch guitar?
A Gibson?
A solid body Gibson Les Paul model, gold black.
And since I [A] was a little kid [F#] I loved [B] everything you did because you see I'm the biggest Les
Paul [E] fan there are.
And they got them in cherry and [B] white and black.
I remember that tune you did, uh, Raunchy.
I really loved that one Les, it's kind of dirty but I liked it.
Yeah, I did that.
And then you did, uh, One Call Apache.
[E]
[B] I loved that one.
Yeah, well thanks a lot.
But I think my favorite was, uh, [F#] Memphis.
Uh, none of those were mine [B] Chester.
[E] Chester, none of those were mine.
Yeah, I've listened to you [A] all I can [F#] from childhood till [B] the age of man because Les,
whatever you [E] may think, I'm your greatest fan.
[B]
Uh, now Chester, I think you've got it all wrong.
There's nobody that old.
Yeah, Les, I remember when you worked with my brother with Fred Wayne and I was in diapers.
At 12?
I remember it well.
Well, if you were my greatest fan then you should remember a run like this.
That was my biggest run.
[E] But Chester, you know, you made quite a mark in your [F#] day.
[C#] And I used to listen to you on [E] the radio a long, long time ago.
[A] And I used [F#] to tune in on the [B] Crystal Set.
And I used to listen to some of my favorite [E] songs that you played.
Remember Maria Lena?
[B]
And you had [E] another one that she played that was [B] great, Rebel Rouser.
Do you remember?
How about Kyle, Kyle, how about Guitar Boogie Woogie?
That was a great number.
Les, I didn't do any of those tunes.
Believe me, you were right on top of it.
[E] You know, I've [A] listened all those [F#m] days and I've [B] tried to learn your country ways because
I am one of your [Em] biggest fans, Chester.
[B] Les, if you were my fan, you'd remember licks like this.
[F#]
[B]
Oh, that's so good.
I [F#] can't hardly stop playing.
Yeah, yeah, well, Chet, I wouldn't mind if you stopped.
And I got the new medical journal [B] and they got a cure for this now with a new antibiotic.
[F#] Because [B] you see, I am [E] your greatest fan.
Don't talk about me, Les.
I'm your fan.
I'm really touched.
Why don't you get a thumb pick and learn to play that thing?
Well, I got a thumb pick.
I ducked in the CB rig and hiked my way back to Jersey.
Well, if you get a thumb pick, you can play with yourself.
Ha ha ha.
Now you tell me.
I also like Michael Reinhardt and Lenny Breau and Mary Tyler Moore.
Yeah, I like Poe, which is too inspiring.
