Our Family

One of my new favorites of theirs. There are lots of walk-ups and walk-downs in this song. INTRO: A E E7 E C#m well they let Bubba out of prison, well he paid for his crime E E7 He didn't know them bad checks could get him so much time E C#m And sister's getting married, well there's a shotgun on the groom E B7 E E7 I hope they finish the weddings vows before the baby's due And Harry's in the closet, well he's been there all his life And everybody wonders why he never took a wife And we owe a lot of bills and try to live beyond our meals We ain't got a pot, but we've got cable TV [Refrão] A E E7 But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts C#m E And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most A E There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree C#m E B7 E Yeah and we may all be crazy, but it's still our family INTRO Grandpa got a girlfriend, a woman half his age Grandma laughs about it but I sense a silent rage And Uncle Bert still thinks he's on the Grand Ole Opery Well that fever from the war left him livin' in a dream (key change to F) F Dm Well we burried great Aunt Martha out at Forest Lawn today F F7 Now I think I know why they called Great Aunt Martha great F Dm The church was full of strange men, Mama called it a disgrace F C7 F She said they should have wiped that smile off of Great Aunt Martha's face F7 CHORUS: Bb F But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts Dm F F7 And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most Bb F There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree Dm F C7 F Yeah and we may all be crazy but it's still our family OUTRO: Bb F C7 F
