Help from a giant in the business who became a good friend of mine, Chet Atkins.
I never did tell you that you've truly been instrumental in my career.
If you'll pardon the expression.
I'm an instrumentalist, you know.
[A#] _ [A] _ You know, a lot of great music has [F#m] been through this old console.
Elvis [A] recorded here.
So did Eddie Arnold, Jim Reeves.
[D] Some of my biggest records [C#] were cut here.
[F#m] This place is [C#m] really rich in history.
And Chet was here for most of it.
[B] _ _ [A] _
_ Well, I am honored.
That's [F] nice.
What a good way to get [Gm] us into this little part of the show.
I just know you [A#] was here for many, many years.
In fact, when I first came to Nashville, you probably don't even remember this.
Years ago, when I was at Divine and a lot of the old people down at the Grand Ole Opry,
I was just a little kid.
And my uncle Bill Owens and Carl and Pearl Butler used to come down here with me a lot
and try to get on the Grand Ole Opry.
And I'd go in when you were standing backstage.
You saw me back there?
Yeah, I remembered you from then.
And I would sing for you.
And you said your life will be a big star someday.
But you're too young now to be on the Grand Ole Opry.
You come back in a few years because you knew I was still famous.
I remember Grant Turner brought me a tape of you when you were about 11 or 12.
Yeah, because you just said, well, come on back in a few years when you get through school and stuff.
And sure enough, I did.
And when I came to Nashville, I reminded you of that.
But I think about you all the time.
I know, I think about you, Dolly.
And love to pick and sing with you.
Shall we do something with the banjo?
Yeah, I understand you've been practicing on this.
Now, is that something new or is that something you've always done?
Something I've always wanted to do. _ _
I've taken up the banjo.
Now, I tell you folks, I've got some gall to pick up a guitar in front of Chet Atkins.
And I honestly think I'm going to play.
But I [F] am, because you know me, I have no problem.
Now, I think the amazing thing about you is the nails, that you're able to play with those.
I figured out a way to do it because I'm so sissy.
I like the nails.
And so I'm not going to give up my music.
I have some too, but not hardly as long.
Well, but yours are really complacent.
Short on this hand and long on that hand.
I wear a glove all the time to protect me.
Do you really?
[A#] I break one, I have to cancel the [C#] show.
Well, anyway, what are we going to do?
Let's just, I'll just_
Well, you just start out and I'll follow you.
We'll just kind of figure out something else.
_ You'll have to follow me because I never can do it. _ _ _ _ _
_ You know black smoke's a-rising and it surely isn't a train.
Surely isn't a train.
[F#] Chet, it's got to be [C#] a train.
I know that track.
Black smoke's a-rising and it surely isn't a train.
And I'm on my long journey home.
Say it up.
They feed me on corn, bread and beans, la la.
They [F#] feed me on corn, bread [C#] and beans.
That was good, don't it?
They feed me on corn, bread and beans, la la.
_ I'm going to be treated this way.
_ _ _ _ [G#] Here goes these [C#] great nails.
They're melting [F#] down.
_ [C#] _ I'm going to get mad [G#] at that.
[C#] _ _ If I was on some foggy mountain top,
I'd sail all the [G#] way to the west.
[C#] I'd sail all [F#] around this whole [C#] wide world
to the man I love best.
_ _ _ _ [F#] _
_ [C#] _ _ _ [G#] These _ [C#] _
_ _ _ _ nails are a hindrance [G#] to me.
_ [C#] _ _ _ Yeah!
