Family reserve

Lyle Lovett



 EA
  When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street
 EB
 I didn't give it a thought
 E
But it was my Uncle Eugene
 AEBE
He died on October the 2nd, 1981
 E
 And my Uncle Wilbur
 A
 They all called him Skinner
 EB
 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
 EBE
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala
 C#minBE
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
 EBE
        The last of the family reserve
 EA
 Now my second cousin his name was Calloway
 EB
He died when he'd barely turned two
 EA
And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it
 EBE
The help she didn't know what to do
 BE
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue
Chorus
 EA
 And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it
 EB
So from the third story he jumped
 E
And he missed the swimming pool
 A
But only by inches
 EBE
And everyone said he was drunk
Chorus
 EA
 And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller
 EB
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul
 EA
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic
 EBE
And he owned his own funeral home
 EA
 And there are more I remember and more I could mention
 EB
Than words I could write in this song
 EA
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing
 EBE
And I, I hear them singing along
Chorus
There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come
