The electric guitar had been done before
But Les, you did it best.
You did more for music than most of us will,
And now you've earned a rest.
Chorus: Play on, music maestro,
Now you get to choose the set
You did more for music than most of us will
We'll remember and never forget.
You nailed some metal to a piece of wood
Gave it the name "the Log"
Took it to a man named Gibson
Invented music's Hot Rod.
Solo
Chorus
You gave us eight tracks to play with
Overdubs, sound effects too,
Now we can go even further than that
But we're still grateful to you.
Chorus
Rockin' the joint at 94,
You didn't seem over the hill
Now you're playing music in Heaven above,
And we remember you still.
Chorus
We'll remember and never forget (to fade.)
