FOR CHET

The hands of the baker and candlestick maker are those of a skillful man
The thread of the tailor, the ropes of the sailor are tied by knowing hands

The watchmakers eye and a light to see by and hands that are calm and sure
Make the tiniest springs do the tiniest things And long has the skill endured

It matters not the job you've got As long as you do it well
The things that are made by plans well laid the test of time will tell.

But how can you count, or know the amount of the value of the man
By the melodies played and the beauty made by the touch of Chet Atkins hands
