Family Reserve

[E]When I saw the ambulance [A]screaming down Main Street
[E]I didn't give it a [B]thought
But [E]it was my Uncle Eugene
He [A]died on October the [E]2nd, [B]198[E]1

[E]And my Uncle Wilbur
[A]They all called him Skinner
[E]And they said for his younger [B]ways
He'd get [E]drunk in the morning
And show me the [A]rolls of fifties and hundreds
He [E]kept in the glove box of his [B]old grey [E]Impala

                 [C#min]     [B]            [E]

And we're all gonna be here forever
        So Mama don't you make such a [B]stir
        [E]Put down that camera
        A[A]nd come on and join up
        The [E]last of the [B]family [E]reserve

[E]Now my second cousin [A]his name was Calloway
He [E]died when he'd barely turned [B]two
And it was p[E]eanut butter and [A]jelly what did it
The [E]help she didn't [B]know what to [E]do
She just stood there and she w[B]atched him turn [E]blue

        Chorus

[E]And my friend Brian Temple h[A]e thought he could make it
So [E]from the third story he[B] jumped
And [E]he missed the swimming pool
But [A]only by inches
And [E]everyone [B]said he was [E]drunk

        Chorus

[E]And there was great Uncle Julius and there was [A]Aunt Annie Miller
And [E]Mary and Grandaddy [B]Paul
And there was [E]Hannah and Ella and [A]Alvin and Attic
And [E]he owned his [B]own funeral [E]home

[E]And there are more I remember and[A] more I could mention
Than [E]words I could write in this [B]song
But I [E]feel them watching and [A]I see them laughing
And [E]I, I hear them [B]singing a[E]long

        Chorus

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