[E]all the elementary [B7]things like [E]that

Verse 2

[E]I went ahead and took it every[A7]where I went
[E]couldn't count the hours that I [B7]must've spent
I [E]heard the girl was lookin' for a [A7]guitar man
I'll ab[E]lidge her any[B7]way I [E]can

'cause [A]I can win her [G#m]over

I can [F#]learn to pick that Figato(?) lick like [B]Chet
