Jam Man Lyrics

Jam Man - Chet Atkins
E-mail: mbelson@villanova.edu
Yes, this is the song everyone knows as "The Esurance Commercial Song", in its entirety.
I arranged the twin harmonies so they can (usually) be played on one guitar without a pedal,
so the "Gtr 1/Gtr 2" labels aren't too faithful to the recording-Just play whatever
parts you like.
Key: A minor
2/2 Time, 100 bpm, Eighth Note Shuffle
Rhythm Guitar (Fingerpicked, Bass Notes are Palm Muted, Chords Are Stacatto):
