Capo 1
Intro: G
[G]It was the thirty first gathering of the Thompsons, Jo[Am]neses, and Smiths
There were ta[G]bles full of chicken, taters, collard greens, and g[D]rits
Well it a[G]ll took place at Hatie Lake State P[A]ark
Volleyball, fi[G]shin', badmitton, yard darts
Aunt I[Am]rene said she'd never seen a turnout like t[D]his
Well it s[G]tarted with hand shakes and lordy, how the babies have grown
As the sun got hotter the day got to draggin' al[D]ong
I s[G]aw Uncle Gene comin' back from his car
With so[C]methin' clear as water in a mason j[G]ar
The lemonade got hearty and, Lo[D]rdy, the party was [G]on
Chorus
That [C]ol' boom box got louder and louder
Ac[G]tin' civilzed didn't seem to matter
Ev[C]erybody got to showin' their hiney includin' [D]me
Lord I'd ne[G]ver known Granny to take her a sip
But the wo[C]rds were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips
And it da[G]wned on me white lig[D]htnin' hit the family t[G]ree
[G]Well cousin Johnny was a gator Jimmy was a UT fan
And that football talk was quickly gettin out of h[D]and
Granny t[G]old Uncle Dave that she hated his guts
Got ri[C]ght up in his face said, your whole famn damily's nuts
Chicken l[G]egs got to flyin' And the wh[D]oop started hittin' the f[G]an
Repeat Chorus
That [C]ol' boom box got louder and louder
Ac[G]tin' civilzed didn't seem to matter
Ev[C]erybody got to showin' their hiney includin' [D]me
Lord I'd ne[G]ver known Granny to take her a sip
But the wo[C]rds were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips
And it da[G]wned on me white lig[D]htnin' hit the family t[G]ree
That [F]ol' park ranger jumped o[C]ut of his car
Said, li[G]sten here folks, it's gone a little too far
Te[F]ar it all down, p[C]ack it all up
C[Dm]all it quits while there's still a little love
Instrumental: C-G-C-Dm
Yeah I've n[G]ever known Granny to take her a sip
But the wo[C]rds were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips
And it da[G]wned on me white li[D]ghtnin' hit the family t[G]ree
Yeah it dawned on me white li[D]ghtnin' hit the family t[G]ree
