Scott Whitby, 2020
Always wanted to play
My fingers are not so fat
Strings on a piece of wood
Why couldn't I do that?
Bought a black guitar
Too cheap it turned out to be
It didn't play too good
So I sold it to Jordan for free
Mahogany Alvarez
Same as the Grateful Dead's
But I had the same problem
Which fingers on which frets?
I knew what I needed
Took lessons from a Master
This doesn't make any sense
Why couldn't I learn it faster?
I saw Andy play one time
Thought he was just like me
I was wrong again
He was a prodigy
Finally learned the C chord
And the G was such a treasure
But why does the D chord
Have fingers so close together?
Everything I've ever done
With what effort I had to spare
Problems I always conquered
But this guitar it just don't care!
Now Jordan plays the songs
Like Tyler Childers can
On that stupid old black guitar
That was never the plan
And Andy plays for the people
It seems with such ease
Night Moves is all I want to play
Could somebody show me please?
I think it's this Mahogany Alvarez
It don't know what to do
I'll get me a Martin Dreadnought
Then I'll play like all of you!
