Family Reserve - Lyle Lovett

E                        A

When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street

E                  B

I didn't give it a thought

    E

But it was my Uncle Eugene

   A                   E    B  E

He died on October the 2nd, 1981

E

And my Uncle Wilbur

A

They all called him Skinner

E                             B

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

   E                            B        E

He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala

                 C#min     B            E

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

            E           B      E

The last of the family reserve

E                    A

Now my second cousin his name was Calloway

   E                            B

He died when he'd barely turned two

            E                A

And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it

    E               B            E

The help she didn't know what to do

                              B               E

She just stood there and she watched him turn blue

Chorus

E                           A

And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it

   E                      B

So from the third story he jumped

    E

And he missed the swimming pool

    A

But only by inches

    E        B           E

And everyone said he was drunk

Chorus

E                                              A

And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller

    E                  B

And Mary and Grandaddy Paul

              E                   A

And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic

    E            B           E

And he owned his own funeral home

E                                A

And there are more I remember and more I could mention

     E                           B

Than words I could write in this song

      E                      A

But I feel them watching and I see them laughing

    E              B        E

And I, I hear them singing along

Chorus

There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come
