Four years of hard work!

This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!

[Intro]
C Dm C Dm

C F G C
Well, I'm a kid with a guitar trying to play nuages when they ask
F Ab C
Where does your style come from
C F C
I know what you mean 'cause I learned to sing
F G C
Listening to blue yodel number one
Am Em F
We love Hank and Lefty, Bob Wills, Ernest Tubb and Johnny Cash
Dm G
But if we had to pin point the star of who we are we'd go back

[Chorus]
F C G C
To Django and Jimmie Paris Mississippi
F C G
A young singing brakeman, a jazz playing gypsy
F C E F
There might not have been a Merle or a Willie
Dm G C Dm C Dm
If not for Django and Jimmie

C F G C
Through the twenties and thirties Jimmie sang his way to the top
F Ab C
In spite of those old TB blues
C F C
Django was a star, he burned up a guitar
F G C
With just two good fingers to use
Am Em F
You can't turn back time or put more sand in the glass
Dm G
But sometimes at night, I close my eyes and go back

[Chorus]
