Dm 
F 
C 
Les, did you know
I'm your biggest fan?
Oh, really? I really am.
Now you've met fans
F 
Dm 
and you've made friends wherever
D 
G 
you've unpacked your old,
C 
is it a Gretsch guitar?
A Gibson?
A solid body Gibson,
Les Paul model, gold, black.
F 
since I was a little kid
D 
G 
I loved everything you did
because, you see,
C 
I'm the biggest Les Paul fan there are.
And they got them in cherry
F 
G 
and white and black.
I remember that tune
you did, uh, Raunchy.
I really loved that one, Les.
It's kind of dirty, but I liked it.
Yeah, I did that.
And then you did, uh,
C 
G 
One Call Apache.
How about that one?
Yeah, well, thanks a lot.
But I think my favorite was, uh, Memphis.
Uh, none of those were mine,
C 
Chester.
Chester, none of those were mine.
F 
Yeah, I've listened to you all I can
Dm 
G 
from childhood till the age of man
because, Les, whatever you may think,
C 
G 
I'm your greatest fan.
Now, Chester,
I think you've got it all wrong,
there's nobody that old.
Yeah, Les, I remember when you
worked with my brother,
with Fred Wayne,
and I was in diapers.
At 12? I remember it well. Well,
if you were my greatest fan,
then you should remember a run like this.
That was my biggest run.
C 
But Chester, you know,
F 
D 
you made quite a mark in your day.
G 
And I used to listen to on the radio
C 
a  long, long time ago,
F 
and I used to tune in
D 
G 
on the crystal set,
and I used to listen to some of my favorite
C 
songs that you played.
G 
Remember Marie Elena?
Yeah.
And you had another one
C 
that you played
G 
that was great, Rebel Rouser.
Do you remember that one, Chester?
That was fantastic.
And how about Carl, Carl?
How about Guitar Boogie Woogie?
That was a great number.
Les, I didn't do any of those tunes.
Believe me,
C 
you were right on top of them.
F 
You know, I've listened all those days
D 
and I've tried to learn
G 
your country ways
because I am one of your biggest fans,
C 
Chuck.
G 
Les, if you were my fan,
F 
G 
you'd remember licks like this.
Oh, that's so good,
I can't hardly stop playing.
Chet, I wouldn't mind if you stop,
and I got the new medical journal,
and they got a cure for this now
with a new antibiotic.
Because you see,
C 
I am your greatest fan,
don't talk about me less, I'm your fan.
I'm really touched.
Why don't you get a thumb pick
and learn to play that thing right?
I got a thumb pick,
I ducked the CB rig
and hiked my way back to Jersey.
That means if you get a thumb pick,
you can play with yourself.
Now you tell me.
I also like Thanko Reinhardt
and Lenny Breau
and Mary Tyler Moore.
Yeah, I like Horowitz too
and Sparky Lyle.
You're crazy.
I don't want to record
C 
with you anymore.
C 
Just one more album.
C 
you hurt me saying
you know all my tunes
you don't play my damn tunes
you never listen to my albums
