Capo II for performance

[[ch]A[/ch]]
Way out yonder past the glow of an old 
          [[ch]A[/ch]]                          [[ch]A/E[/ch]]
Small town in the middle of nowhere
           [[ch]A[/ch]]                                    [[ch]E[/ch]] 
You can drive half an hour from the highway
      [[ch]Bm[/ch]]                          [[ch]E[/ch]] 
And you'll be halfway there
       [[ch]A[/ch]]
You won't hear a sound
                          [[ch]E[/ch]] 
Till you get right around
        [[ch]D[/ch]]                      [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]F#[/ch]]
Five miles from the property
             [D/F#-G#-A]
And you can pretty much deduce
               [[ch]Bm[/ch]]            [[ch]D[/ch]] 
Where all hell breaks loose
                    [Bm/F#] [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]  [[ch]A[/ch]] 
You're gonna find my family

       [[ch]A[/ch]]
One hundred people scattered through
          [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]                 [[ch]A[/ch]]
Some dozen rooms we rent
          [[ch]E[/ch]]                                     [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]D[/ch]]
And whoever can't deal with their mother-in-law
       [[ch]D[/ch]]               [[ch]E[/ch]] 
Is free to bring a tent
[[ch]A[/ch]]                     [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]F#[/ch]]
We don't care particularly where
      [[ch]E[/ch]]                     [[ch]A[/ch]]
We camp from year to year
              [[ch]D[/ch]]                  [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]D[/ch]]
We just need a lake, a kitchen,
                       [[ch]E[/ch]]     [[ch]A/E[/ch]]     
And some coolers full of beer

         [[ch]D[/ch]]                  [[ch]E[/ch]]
And everybody's laughin'
              [[ch]A[/ch]]                      [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
At some fifteen-year-old joke
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]                        [[ch]D/B[/ch]]
Sittin' around the campfire
      [[ch]E[/ch]]                 [[ch]A[/ch]]
Or lightin' up a smoke
[[ch]D[/ch]]               [[ch]E[/ch]]
Hikin' up the mountain
           [[ch]A[/ch]]                   [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
Maybe skinnin' up our knees
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]                         [[ch]A[/ch]]
Teachin' young'uns how to cook
       [[ch]D/F#[/ch]]             [[ch]E[/ch]]     
Old family recipes
         [[ch]D/A[/ch]]                              [[ch]A/E[/ch]]   [[ch]Bm[/ch]] 
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [[ch]D[/ch]] [[ch]A/E[/ch]] [Bm/F#] [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]    [[ch]A/E[/ch]]   
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring

       [[ch]A[/ch]]
Some of us like to scrapbook,
               [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]                    [[ch]A[/ch]]
And some stick with our guitars
 [[ch]E[/ch]]                        [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]D[/ch]]
We know we aren't good
                                             [[ch]E[/ch]]
But we're not scared of those who are
           [[ch]A[/ch]]                        [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]F#[/ch]]
Now I must confess, there's craziness
               [[ch]E[/ch]]          [[ch]A[/ch]]
When this family re-unites
                [[ch]D[/ch]]                      [[ch]Bm[/ch]/[ch]D[/ch]]
'Cause we have a ball, but Lord help us all
    [[ch]D[/ch]] [[ch]A/E[/ch]]  [[ch]A[/ch]]     
On karaoke night

     [[ch]D[/ch]]                 [[ch]E[/ch]]
And everybody's chillin'
        [[ch]A[/ch]]                   [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
In a pair of cutoff jeans
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]                         [[ch]D[/ch]]
And an old reunion t-shirt
     [[ch]E[/ch]]          [[ch]A[/ch]]
From, like, 1993
[[ch]D[/ch]]             [[ch]E[/ch]]
Playin' barefoot volleyball
           [[ch]A[/ch]]                  [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
Cat fans against the Griz
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]                         [[ch]A[/ch]]
Or sittin' on the sidelines
            [[ch]D/F#[/ch]]                       [[ch]E[/ch]]     
Playin' "Guess whose kid that is"
         [[ch]D/A[/ch]]                                 [[ch]A/E[/ch]]   [[ch]Bm[/ch]]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [[ch]D[/ch]]  [[ch]A/E[/ch]][Bm/F#] [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]     [[ch]A/E[/ch]]   
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
   [[ch]D[/ch]]                          [[ch]E[/ch]]
Once you smell those cinnamon rolls
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]              [[ch]A[/ch]/[ch]C#[/ch]]
Baking in the oven
          [[ch]D[/ch]]                     [[ch]A[/ch]]
You'd best proceed with caution
           [[ch]E[/ch]]                 [[ch]A[/ch]]
If you're not at least a cousin
     [[ch]D[/ch]]                  [[ch]E[/ch]]
A few of us are bossy
          [[ch]A[/ch]/[ch]C#[/ch]]                   [[ch]D[/ch]]
Some like to rave and rant
              [[ch]Bm[/ch]] 
We don't pay much mind to uncles,
     [[ch]D[/ch]]                            [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]
But you don't mess with our aunts...
 
     [[ch]D[/ch]]                 [[ch]E[/ch]]
And everyone keeps laughin'
        [[ch]A[/ch]]                    [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
At some fifteen-year-old joke
[[ch]Em[/ch]]                       [[ch]D[/ch]] 
Sittin' around the campfire
      [[ch]E[/ch]]         [[ch]A[/ch]]
And lightin' up a smoke
[[ch]D[/ch]]               [[ch]E[/ch]]
Flyin' off the rope swing
           [[ch]A[/ch]]                 [[ch]D/F#[/ch]-[ch]G#[/ch]-[ch]A[/ch]]
Swimmin' clear across the lake
[[ch]Bm[/ch]]                         [[ch]A[/ch]]
Tellin' tall tales all night
            [[ch]D/F#[/ch]]                      [[ch]E[/ch]]     
Keepin' half the camp awake
 
         [[ch]D/A[/ch]]                       [[ch]A[/ch]]  [[ch]Bm[/ch]]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
    [[ch]D[/ch]]  [[ch]A/E[/ch]] [Bm/F#] [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]    [[ch]A[/ch]]   
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring

 
         [[ch]D/A[/ch]]                                 [[ch]A[/ch]]    [[ch]Bm[/ch]]
All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
   [[ch]D[/ch]]  [[ch]A/E[/ch]] [Bm/F#] [[ch]E/G#[/ch]]     [[ch]A[/ch]]   
Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
