_ _ _ [D] _ This is about [N] a 1952 or three.
We couldn't figure out exactly.
Doesn't have the mute switches because Chet didn't like them. _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ And I said, well, no doubt it was made for him, you know, or made for Jerry,
because there's _ _ _ _ _ no mute switch here, _ or, you know, the mute pad.
_ [Em] _ _ [Am] _ _ _ [E] _ _
And [N] it has a Supertrom pickup, like the single cutaway back there, that was Chet's, just like Chet's.
This is that guitar with the double [Bb] cutaway.
See the one on the left?
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ And it [Eb] _ _ _
[N] _ _ _ _ _ _ was Chet.
_ [Am] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
_ [B] _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [D]
That's when [Em] he [C] was writing this.
[D] _ I [Abm] wouldn't doubt it, but this [Eb] song wasn't written on [Em] this guitar.

_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ [Abm]
I'm trying to go back and re-learn some of these.
All I thought I could think is_
But that was one that if you look on Chet's records, [G] it says written by Jerry R.
Hubbard. _ _
_ [Ab] And so this [Gbm] was that very, that very [G] _ _ _ _ [Gm] era that that would have been [Abm] written.
The [Eb] difference in Chet and Merle Travis, Merle had _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _
_ _ [F] _ [Gb] _ _ [C] _ _ [A] _
_ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _ _
a_
[Bb] Chet's was a little more refined, I guess, in a sense.
_ One's not better than the other, [Cm] they're just different.
But Chet's was more structured in the fact that he would have a tonic and a_
_ [C] _ _
With an afterbeat and sometimes he'd _ mute it with this part of [A] your hand, like [Eb] so you could [C] _ _
hear_
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ [G] _ _ [C] _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ [N] _ And that way, you know, _ _ _ [C] _ _ because_
[Em] And so if you didn't mute it_
_ [C] _ So _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[A] _ in essence, [C] Chet [Eb] does with this hand, this part of his hand,
kind of what I was talking about doing on the acoustic guitar while you let the lead be out loud.

[Db] can't do it with one finger like he [Eb] did, I just can't do it, I have to use two.
But that's _ essential. _
