_ So there's the early batch of February 18th and there's the later batch of [Bb] February _ 18th.
The serial numbers [F] jump way up.

_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ _
The easiest way I [Ab] can describe [Bb] what _ _
_ _ _ [D] the_
One thing that happens to them is that they seem_
_ _ _ [A] They almost seem to do the DJ [Bbm] smiley face EQ, like on FM radio.
[Ab] What does that do?
[Bb] _ _ [F] Where they turn the lows up and the highs up [Ab] and then the middle is [Eb] scooped out a little bit.
And [E] that's how these things tend [C] to sound.
This one [G] doesn't have it nearly as much. _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ And _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Cm] _
_ [G] also less_ _ _ _
But like, more of a core. _ _ _

Also, loved.
Like, actually [C] played, clearly.
This is _ like_ _ _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Eb] These early batch, [N] _
_ _ _ _ like_
_ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ They're so_ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ They're not gonna take your [G] head off, _ but they're [Dm] like _ so_
They're so gorgeous.
[Cm] Like, why you would play them.
_ _ Some of the medleys that_
[D] I feel like a lot of the little people gravitate towards.
[Ab] _ _ [B] _
_ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] But it's _ like_ _ _ _
You mean Coachie on that?
_ _ _ [A] _
[Em] Absolutely.
_ _ But then a lot of the subtlety of like, [A] why you would_
Like, why you would play them.
[N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ This _ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ [N]
is the finest instrument _ I've played.
[D] _
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ I probably could hit a chord on mine.
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [Dbm] _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Or certainly has as much potential.
_ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ Yeah, I think [Em] that's fair. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Oh, this is_
This is [C] a beauty.
Although [Gm] it's set up a little too light, so it's [Em] got more to give.
[G] _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [E] _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ It's so balanced. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Am] _ This [N] is six.
Six numbers off of mine, but there's a bunch of weird ones in _ _ between_
Like, I think_
_ I think they haven't found everything in between this in mine.
But like, Laura's personal Laura is one before mine.
And it's totally_
I mean, he was just_
He was just going nuts.
_ The one he made for himself.
It's crazy.
