E5                        A5 
When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street 
E5                  B5 
I didn't give it a thought 
    E5 
But it was my Uncle Eugene 
   A5                   E5    B5  E5 
He died on October the 2nd, 1981 
 

E5 
And my Uncle Wilbur 
A5 
They all called him Skinner 
E5                             B5 
And they said for his younger ways 
         E5 
He'd get drunk in the morning 
                A5 
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds 
   E5                            B5        E5 
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala 
 

                 C#5       B5            E5  
Chorus:        And we're all gonna be here forever 
                                      B5 
        So Mama don't you make such a stir 
        E5 
        Put down that camera  
         A5 
        And come on and join up  
            E5           B5      E5 
        The last of the family reserve 
 

E5                    A5 
Now my second cousin his name was Calloway 
   E5                            B5 
He died when he'd barely turned two 
            E5                A5 
And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it 
    E5               B5            E5 
The help she didn't know what to do 
                              B5               E5 
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue 
 
        Chorus 
 

E5                           A5 
And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it 
   E5                      B5 
So from the third story he jumped 
    E5 
And he missed the swimming pool 
    A5  
But only by inches 
    E5        B5           E5 
And everyone said he was drunk 
 
         Chorus 
 

E5                                              A5 
And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller 
    E5                  B5 
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul 
              E5                   A5 
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic 
    E5            B5           E5 
And he owned his own funeral home 
 

E5                                A5 
And there are more I remember and more I could mention 
     E5                           B5 
Than words I could write in this song 
      E5                      A5 
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing 
    E5              B5        E5  
And I, I hear them singing along 
 
        Chorus
