Written Nov. 2012. Tongue-in-cheek tune came to mind as LTG friends were discussing forced country-western accents.

Artist picture
Retired military solo artist; Tex/Americana/Folk singer/songwriter. 'Scratch' is my military handle and TexScratch a stage name just for the purpose of having a stage name, I suppose... Let's Talk Guild (LTG) guitar forum friends inspired many tunes and the inclination to purchase far too many Guild Guitars over the years...

Lyrics
Mr. Dibbs Ken Smith (11/03/2012) (Slow painful Country beat) G Am D G Am D Mr. Dibbs turned 6 years old last summer; By my side as I write this lonely tune Em C G D Musta looked at 30 puppies when you picked him; cuz he couldn't take his eyes offfa you G Am D G Am D Four years now gone by since last we saw you; a home once made for 4 now numbers three Em C G D C/G The day you left reduced our world of plenty to Mr. Dibbs, a Guild guitar and me G Am D G Am D We're doing just fine here without you; Thanks for all those sweeter memories Em C G D On occasion we tend to miss the furniture; and the doghouse that was 'neath the maple tree G Am D G Am D The six-string, still stands there in the corner; filled with songs of how you set us free Em C G D C/G You'd guess wrong if you think we're still waiting; Mr. Dibbs, my Guild guitar and me G Am D G Am D We don't stare at your picture all that often; it's in a place where others may not see Em C G D In the bathroom, by the dartboard, 'bove the toilet; an appropriate place for it to be G Am D G Am D Our doggy still howls about the old days; Since you left we don't have us no TV Em C G D C/G So we sit here on the floor thinking 'bout you; Mr. Dibbs, that Guild Guitar and me G Am D G Am D Could be you're up in New York City; Folks there tend to have a different view Em C G D Here in Nashville, you weren't all that pretty; at Halloween kids dressed up like you G A m D G Am D And just in case you start to feeling lonely; thinking this is where you'd rather be Em C G D Let us know when you arrive because we're leavin'; heading west to see what we can see Em C G D C/G No, you never were the one we could believe in; Mr Dibbs; that ole Guild guitar and me...
