Verse 1
(E minor) My first (A major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) (G major) (D major) (G major) guitar
is a (D major) favorite memory
How (B minor) early in my life (E major) it (A major) took a hold on me
(G major) While other kids (A major) were fishing in the (D major) creek
and (G major) skipping stones
I (D major) was skipping school and (E minor) playing
on (A major) my six -stringed sil
(D major) ver tongue. (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Twenty dollars (G major) was a lot (D major) of money
then for (B minor) a hand -to -mouth Vir
(E major) ginia mom and (A major) dad to spend.
So (G major) every night as (A major) I played in
(D major) my bedroom all (G major) along,
I'd thank (D major) God and (E minor) Sears and Roebuck
for (A major) my six -string sil (D major) ver tongue.
(G major) Not much more than (A major) fiberboard
and (D major) shiny strings
an (B minor) d imitation tor (E major) toiseshell accessor (A major) ies.
In (G major) front of momma's (A major) mirror
with (D major) a makeshift microphone
(G major) (D major) Preparing for the big (E minor) time
on (A major) my sixth grade silver
(D major) tongue (G major) (D major) (G major)
(D major) Through high school (G major) that guitar
meant (D major) more and more to me
(B minor) It rode in the back (E major) seat
of my (A major) first car with me
An (G major) d on Friday nights
(A major) I couldn't wait (D major) to get the girls (G major) along
And I'd (D major) sing to them the (E minor) songs I wrote
on (A major) my six -string sil (D major) ver tongue (E flat major)
Well, my mu (A flat major) sic stayed right with (E flat major) me
since those early days
(B flat major) But (C minor) my old (F major) friend disappeared
some (B flat major) where along the way
An (A flat major) d now I play (B flat major) a new guitar
that's (E flat major) worth its weight in (A flat major) gold
But I still (E flat major) wonder what (F minor) happened
to (B flat major) my six -string silver (E flat major) tongue
I'll (A flat major) bet it's hanging (B flat major) in some
fancy mu (E flat major) sic store
Or (C minor) layin' warped and (F major) dusty
on (B flat major) some cellar floor
Or (A flat major) maybe it's the (B flat major) prized possession
of (E flat major) some ten -year (A flat major) -old
(E flat major) Dreamin' of the (F minor) big time
on (B flat major) his six -strand sil (E flat major) ver tongue
Thank God and Sears (F minor) and Roebuck
for (B flat major) my six -strand silver (E flat major) tongue
(B flat major) (E flat major)
That's a true story,
too. That's exactly the way it happened.
But if I ever run across that guitar again,
I'll recognize it, because I carved my
first girlfriend's initials all over it,
if I could only remember
what her name was.
Let's face it,
folks, it's been a while.
You're beautiful.
Thank you very much.
I've had a lot of great thrills in my professional life, and without a doubt,
at the top of the list would have to go back to 1976 when I was invited
on behalf of our government
and the Soviet government
to make a tour of
the Soviet Union.
And because of that trip,
I was invited to go back in 1988.
And on that occasion,
I was able to take my band with me
and show them off.
And we filmed a television special
that some of you may have
seen.
I'm very proud of that special
because, well thank you, thank
you very much.
It's not just a musical,
it shows you a side of the Soviet
citizens
that you don't get a chance to see.
And I think it just proves once again
that people are just people
all over the world.
Only governments are different.
And we learned a beautiful old
Russian folk song
while we were over there
we'd like to play for you this
evening
called Moscow Nights.
Now this melody
may sound familiar to some of
you
because back in the mid -60s
it was a hit record
for a Dixieland band.
But we learned it from the natives.
This is the way they play it
on this particular rendition.
I will be
