 Uncle Lloyd by Darrell Scott


 Tabbed by: Julius Milani


 


 This is a very basic tab from a very good guitarist in Darrell Scott. This guy has some


 songs and I was surprised to find that none of them are tabbed (unless by another artist


 used his work). If you are reading this tab then you already know how good he is. Have

 Standing sternly [(F)]by his s[(C)]ide


 All the y[(F)]ears of hanging in there


 All the em[(D)]ptiness i[(C)]nside


 


 VERSE 6


 Then I t[(G)]hought of how their children


 Have children [(F)]of their[(C)] own


 And how a [(F)]man at fifty-seven
