Chet Atkins playing Banjo - Love me Tender and others chords
Start Jamming...
We probably need Wendy over here to sing if I'm gonna pick.
You want me to lay out seriously?
Yeah, I don't want you to play guitar.
I get to thinking guitar.
If you play and I can't play the banjo.
I've been fired by this man.
He fired me from working with him so I certainly can sit out one song.
Steve, why are we sitting like 47 feet away from you here?
I was wondering that myself.
I think Wendy's supposed to be here.
I'm gonna come over there.
Okay.
I'll just hold it.
Is that alright?
Tell you what happened.
Come [A] on in.
Somebody, Phil Valentine at the radio station [G#] here sent me a [D] tape of Steve Martin.
Picking a banjo.
No joke.
I love his banjo playing.
Yeah, he's great.
No jokes, just playing.
And he played like.

Only a lot better.
[D] My dad's out in the audience.
My dad plays that way.
He plays with a little Danny.
Yeah, I [B] wanted to learn that style for years because I grew up with a band called the Big

And would you like to request something?
Well, if I can't play on it, I don't know.
How about Love Me Tender?

While you were playing that, I was thinking of one time when I was playing bass with you.
We were in Canada and you asked me and I was just thinking it would apply now.
You could, somebody could ask me, say, has anybody ever told you that you were a great
second guitar player?
And then of course I say no.
And then you say, well, do you wonder why?

Down the road here from me there's no line
I just [E] drew her to lay [G] down a [D] dollar or two
They go round the bend and they come back again
There's a [A] couple of mountain [D] dews
