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
-Johnny Cash
