My first ever tab here so might not be perfect but I've noticed no one else has had an attempt at this so here's how I play it. Capo on first threat, play with alternating base (bottom two strings like most Johnny Cash songs) Also when playing C alternate between having your ring finger 3rd threat from the A string to low E string. This is what Johnny was doing so watch his video if you don't understand. C Well Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother, F C tall lanky man C But somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine. C I'd find him out in the back yard, F C sitting against a tree. C His eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare, F C and his mind in a cocaine dream. C Well one fall day when Uncle Bill was F C having a cocaine fit, C G He said Louise this coke's no good F C and I've made up my mind to quit. C G Now you take this key and I'll go upstairs and F C then you lock the door, C G and Lord I swear I wont come down, F C till I don't want dope no more. Chorus C G F C Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry. C G F C When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die. C G F C He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope C G F C As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope. C Well for the first few hours we heard not a sound, F C upstairs was quiet and still. C and then all of a sudden we heard a shriek of F C pain from Uncle Bill. C He bounced out of bed and across the room, F C I heard him break a chair. C And then another scream louder than the first as he F C ripped out a hunk of his hair. C My Mother kissed us all that night, F C as brother and I lay in bed. C We wondered if poor old Uncle Bill was F C dieing or already dead. C But all night long we listened to him as he F C raved pleaded and called. C and I swear I heard his finger nails tearing the F C paper off the walls. Chorus C G F C Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry. C G F C When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die. C G F C He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope C G F C As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope. C After fourteen days and nights of hell, it F C grew quiet over head. C And I peered past mother, as she unlocked the door F C expecting to find him dead. C But to my surprise there was Uncle Bill, as F C shiny as a brand new dollar. C His hair was combed and his beard was gone, F C he'd grown two inches taller. C In his old blue suite and his patterned shoes, he was F C quite a sight to see. C The light was back in his deep blue eyes, he F C turned to mother and me. C He said Louise I've been through hell and I F C nearly went insane. C But I finally beat the devils habit, I F C beat the demon cocaine. Chorus C G F C Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry. C G F C When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die. C G F C He screamed and he hollered and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope C G F C As long as I live I wont forget when Uncle Bill quit dope.
