Key: G# minor
Verse 1
to work with some incredible musicians
over the years.
I know I mostly work on my own,
but I've been accompanied on
my travels
by some wonderful people.
My next guest is a true innovator,
a true original.
I first heard him play, I think,
probably in 1966 or something,
and his unique guitar style,
his amazing voice,
and his beautiful songs.
I have a complete collection of his records
and I can't say that about many artists
but I do have my next guest.
He's a superb guitarist.
It's very hard to find a song of his
that I can actually play along with
but we've had a go at this one before
and it would be lovely to try it again
for you.
Please welcome Bert Chantz.
I got to play harmonica
on one of Bert's records.

twice
on two of Burt's records.

If I keep practicing,
he might let me play guitar
on one of them one day.
Well, I thought I need a harmonica,
that's what it needs.
