_ _ [B] _ _ [E] _ _ Hey, we're going to learn Great Speckled Bird.
It's an old Dobro warhorse.
It's been played by every Dobro player that's ever picked up the instrument.
And now you.
It's in the key of G.
It was done by Roy Eckhoff with Bachelor Brother Oswald on the Dobro.
And _ I'm sure everybody else has played it too.
It was a big country hit for Hank Thompson in the 50s called Honky Tonk Angels.
And then Kitty Wells answered it and played the same song with different [G] words called
It Wasn't God That Made Honky Tonk Angels.
It's also known as I'm Thinking Tonight of My Blue Eyes.
So it's a well-known tune and it should be in your repertoire.
We're hopefully going to update it here and retain some of the original flavor.
So have a good time with the Great Speckled Bird. _ _ _ _ _
