_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ It's _ _ [F#] wonderful to see so many of you. _ _ _
_ _ _ A few years now. _
_ [F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ Yeah. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
This guitar is a _ [C#] shiny guitar.
A _ fabled shiny guitar. _
_ Tonight is the first _ time I've played it in concert.
_ _ And _ there's a story to this guitar that's _ _ rich and deep.
And I _ could take a whole concert just _ [E] talking about that.
I'll give you a thumbnail sketch.
_ _ [N] _ _ This actual guitar, _ as it is, _ _ was _ _ owned and played by the great Delta _ Blues legend, Booker [F#] T.
Washington White, also [Em] known as Bucker White.
[A#] _ Booker was the older cousin of B.B. King and was already an accomplished and _ _ experienced _ blues _ songster and recording artist in the 1930s. _ _
This guitar is an instrument that B.B. King called the holy relic.
Yeah.
And _ by _ _
[G#] _ grace, this guitar _ _ was _ _ introduced to [C#] me and _ became _ a friend of mine over the course of several years.
_ A wonderful friend _ is _ in possession of this guitar and he happened to say after a concert,
By the way, _ _ almost as an afterthought at the prompting of his son,
If you're interested _ in playing the guitar that was owned by Booker White. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ And I said, yeah, I'll be there.
[F] And sure enough, there he was with this incredible instrument.
It just _ _ _ was incredible to feel this [C#] connection to one of my heroes [B] and to play [F#] an instrument that was his working instrument for many years.
And _ [D] after I absorbed the experience, _ _ _ _ _ [C] I wrote a song eventually and _ [D] I sent the [D#m] lyrics to a friend who was in possession of this guitar.
And he said, what a wonderful song, Eric.
I'm going to put these lyrics in the guitar [C#] case so that the guitar can get to know. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Eventually, it became clear that I needed to [E] record this song with the actual [F] instrument.
It's weird. _ _ _
_ [C#] _ In the middle of a very hectic touring schedule, _ I found a slim window of time to make it up to these parts and to reconnect with this instrument, _ Booker's guitar, _ and record the song. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
So a lot of this concert is about Booker's guitar, the CD that evolved from [F] that one song.
[E] And if I can settle myself down, I'll _ _ be here and [D#] now.
_ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [A] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ The guitar, owned and played by the great Booker White, found its way by grace into my arms.
_ _ He would call it hard rock, _ because the body's made of steel.
On the headstock, he [A] glued a heart-shaped charm. _ _
In a brown leather case with green velvet lining, _ it thrilled my soul [D] to the core.
_ _ _ Stuck on the side with old Scotch tape _ was a list of the [A] songs he's [D] famous for.
_ _ _ [G] _ _ [A] Booker's guitar [B] has got a story [D] to tell of heart and [A] hope and [D] unshed tears.
_ _ _ [G] _
[A] Booker's guitar, [Bm] rich like a [G] bell, is gonna keep on [A] ringing for [D] a thousand years. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The late, great Booker White sang straight from his heart. _
_ Everyone who heard him knows it's true. _ _
He spanked that shiny guitar _ just like a drum across the Mississippi Delta in Unit 2.
[F#m] _ _ [G] _ [A] Booker's guitar's got [Bm] a story to [D] tell _ of [A] boxcars and [D] scars wound shiny pill.
[F#m] _ _ [Em] _ Booker's [A] guitar, [Bm] rich like [D] a bell, is gonna keep on [A] ringing for a thousand [D] years. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [A] Booker's [C#] guitar's got a story [D] to tell, [G] a story the [A] world needs to hear.
_ _ _ [G] _ [A] Booker's guitar, [Bm] rich like a [D] bell, is gonna keep on ringing [A]
for a [D] thousand years. _ _ _ _
