Family Reserve - Lyle Lovett

E A
When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street
E B
I didn't give it a thought
E
But it was my Uncle Eugene
A E B E
He died on October the 2nd, 1981

E
And my Uncle Wilbur
A
They all called him Skinner
E B
And they said for his younger ways
E
He'd get drunk in the morning
A
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds
E B E
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala

C#min B E
Chorus: And we're all gonna be here forever
B
So Mama don't you make such a stir
E
Put down that camera
A
And come on and join up
E B E
The last of the family reserve

E A
Now my second cousin his name was Calloway
E B
He died when he'd barely turned two
E A
And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it
E B E
The help she didn't know what to do
B E
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue


Chorus

E A
And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it
E B
So from the third story he jumped
E
And he missed the swimming pool
A
But only by inches
E B E
And everyone said he was drunk


Chorus

E A
And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller
E B
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul
E A
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic
E B E
And he owned his own funeral home

E A
And there are more I remember and more I could mention
E B
Than words I could write in this song
E A
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing
E B E
And I, I hear them singing along


Chorus


There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come

Shaun
