A Visit With an Uncle
 
Key: B
Capo: 4
 
[Verse 1]
G                          C                 G
Morning glories twisting in your old rusty fence
C                G                      A              D
Someone needs to fix the gate it's just hanging by the hinge
G                                 C             G
It's just like you to be drawn to this kind of place
C               G       G/F#                    G  G/C G/F#
Peace and quiet far away from that old man made race
 
[Verse 2]
G                                      C                G
Still I wish you'd have found someplace a little closer by
C                   G             A          D
I'd come alot more often but it's so far to drive
G                            C                  G
and I like to never found you it's been so many years
C               G       G/F#                    G  G/C
I barely can remember the last time I was here
 
[Chorus 1]
C                      G
I thought of something funny
C                G
You told me long ago
C                G
About ole Almie Pettis
A                   D
and that old car he drove
G
What about ole Coonie Lam
C                  G
and happy neighbor Gall
C              G
I wonder what became of them
G/F#             G   G/C
Lord I miss 'em all
 
[Verse 3]
G#/A                                       D                  A
Well I don't know where the time goes but it slipped up on me
D                     A             B               E
Seems like I just got here and it's already time to leave
A                                  D           A
but I'll be back next summer I can promise you that
         D                 A          A/G#             A     A/D
and I'll bring Aunt Carrie with me the next time I come back
 
[Chorus 2]
D                  A
Until then take it easy
    D              A
and just enjoy the rest
D                A
Heaven knows you earned it
B                   E
you always did your best
A
I wish I had the money
   D           A
to buy a fancy stone
D                A
God won't need a marker
        E                 A
when he comes to take you home
