Uncle Lloyd by The Steel Woods
Tabbed by: Andrew Lunn
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
G
He was not my father’s brother
F C
But he wished that he could be
Am Em
Told us kids to call him uncle
Bm C
And we would be his family
G
He had a wife and kids in Fresno
F C
The youngest one was twenty-four
Am Em
Dad had brought him into our house
Bm C
They didn’t want him anymore
[Verse 2]
G
He helped us work the family business
F C
Building fences in the sun
Am Em
Worked just like a man of twenty
Bm C
‘Til the working day was done
G
He and Dad would spend their evening
F C
Sitting in lawn chairs in the yard
Am Em
Where they’d drink a toast to Seagram’s
Bm C
Seagram’s never went down hard
[Chorus]
Am
Won’t you wake up Uncle Lloyd
G
Got a lot of work today
Am C
We’ll get Don to make the coffee
G
Load that truck and be on your way
F
Friday night you can drive to Vegas
Em D C
Maybe this time you will win
Am Em
Buy a trailer by the river
Bm C
And you won’t have to work again
[Verse 3]
G
He was sleeping in the workroom
F C
With a mattress on the floor
Am Em
When one night I heard him crying
Bm C
As I passed outside his door
G
He cried, "Rita, girl I love you
F C
Rita, Darling please don’t go
Am Em
I’ve tried hard to make you happy
Bm C
I’ve done everything I know"
[Verse 4]
G
Then I heard the bottle open
F C
The tipping up and putting down
Am Em
Heard the rustling of the covers
Bm C
Then he did not make a sound
G
I thought of thirty years of Rita
F C
Standing sternly by his side
Am Em
All the years of hanging in there
Bm C
All the emptiness inside
[Verse 6]
G
Then I thought of how their children
F C
Have children of their own
Am Em
And how a man at fifty-seven
Bm C
Winds up living so alone
[Chorus]
Am
Won’t you wake up Uncle Lloyd
G
Got a lot of work today
Am C
We’ll get Don to make the coffee
G
Load that truck and be on your way
F
Friday night you can drive to Vegas
Em D C
Maybe this time you will win
Am Em
Buy a trailer by the river
Bm C
And you won’t have to work again
