Dana Jo Forseth - In-Laws Outlaws And Offspring Tab

Capo II for performance
 
[A]
Way out yonder past the glow of an old
          [A]                          [A/E]
Small town in the middle of nowhere
           [A]                                    [E]
You can drive half an hour from the highway
      [Bm]                          [E]
And you'll be halfway there
       [A]
You won't hear a sound
                          [E]
Till you get right around
        [D]                      [Bm/F#]
Five miles from the property
             [D/F#-G#-A]
And you can pretty much deduce
               [Bm]            [D]
Where all hell breaks loose
                    [Bm/F#] [E/G#]  [A]
You're gonna find my family
 
       [A]
One hundred people scattered through
          [E/G#]                 [A]
Some dozen rooms we rent
          [E]                                     [Bm/D]
And whoever can't deal with their mother-in-law
       [D]               [E]
Is free to bring a tent
[A]                     [Bm/F#]
We don't care particularly where
      [E]                     [A]
We camp from year to year
              [D]                  [Bm/D]
We just need a lake, a kitchen,
                       [E]     [A/E]
And some coolers full of beer
 
         [D]                  [E]
And everybody's laughin'
              [A]                      [D/F#-G#-A]
At some fifteen-year-old joke
[Bm]                        [D/B]
Sittin' around the campfire
      [E]                 [A]
Or lightin' up a smoke
[D]               [E]
Hikin' up the mountain
           [A]                   [D/F#-G#-A]
Maybe skinnin' up our knees
[Bm]                         [A]
Teachin' young'uns how to cook
       [D/F#]             [E]
Old family recipes
         [D/A]                              [A/E]   [Bm]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [D] [A/E] [Bm/F#] [E/G#]    [A/E]
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
 
       [A]
Some of us like to scrapbook,
               [E/G#]                    [A]
And some stick with our guitars
 [E]                        [Bm/D]
We know we aren't good
                                             [E]
But we're not scared of those who are
           [A]                        [Bm/F#]
Now I must confess, there's craziness
               [E]          [A]
When this family re-unites
                [D]                      [Bm/D]
'Cause we have a ball, but Lord help us all
    [D] [A/E]  [A]
On karaoke night
 
     [D]                 [E]
And everybody's chillin'
        [A]                   [D/F#-G#-A]
In a pair of cutoff jeans
[Bm]                         [D]
And an old reunion t-shirt
     [E]          [A]
From, like, 1993
[D]             [E]
Playin' barefoot volleyball
           [A]                  [D/F#-G#-A]
Cat fans against the Griz
[Bm]                         [A]
Or sittin' on the sidelines
            [D/F#]                       [E]
Playin' "Guess whose kid that is"
         [D/A]                                 [A/E]   [Bm]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [D]  [A/E][Bm/F#] [E/G#]     [A/E]
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
   [D]                          [E]
Once you smell those cinnamon rolls
[Bm]              [A/C#]
Baking in the oven
          [D]                     [A]
You'd best proceed with caution
           [E]                 [A]
If you're not at least a cousin
     [D]                  [E]
A few of us are bossy
          [A/C#]                   [D]
Some like to rave and rant
              [Bm]
We don't pay much mind to uncles,
     [D]                            [E/G#]
But you don't mess with our aunts...
 
     [D]                 [E]
And everyone keeps laughin'
        [A]                    [D/F#-G#-A]
At some fifteen-year-old joke
[Em]                       [D]
Sittin' around the campfire
      [E]         [A]
And lightin' up a smoke
[D]               [E]
Flyin' off the rope swing
           [A]                 [D/F#-G#-A]
Swimmin' clear across the lake
[Bm]                         [A]
Tellin' tall tales all night
            [D/F#]                      [E]
Keepin' half the camp awake
 
         [D/A]                       [A]  [Bm]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [D]  [A/E] [Bm/F#] [E/G#]    [A]
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
 
 
         [D/A]                                 [A]    [Bm]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
   [D]  [A/E] [Bm/F#] [E/G#]     [A]
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
