Intro.:  |(C) |(F/A) |(C) |(F/A)

(Verse 1)
My uncle, (C)Bobby was a shade tree me-(F/A)chanic
If it had (C)wheels, he could make 'em roll (G)
I used to hand him (C)wrenches, when I was young (Am) and (G)he was strong (F)
And it sure don't (C) seem like (G) that long a-(C)go

(Chorus 1)
I (F) get a call out of the blue, (G)take off work, pack up my suit
(Am) Jump on a plain (G) back to Tennessee (F) (C/E)
Nothing else (F) on this earth (G) would make you put (Am) the first things (G)first
Stop you (Bb)on a dime, and make you (F/A)realize (G)what life really means
Like fami-(C)ly (F/A)

(Verse 2)
I ain't seen my (C)cousin, in a month of (F/A)Sundays
We were like (C)brothers growing up (F/A)
He was a real casa-(C)nova, had an eye for the (Am)ladies that (G)never closed (F)
And he swore he'd (C)never (G)fall in (C)love

(Chorus 2)
I (C) get a call out of the blue, (G)take off work, pack up my suit
(Am) I need the best man (G) back in Tennessee (F) (C/E)
Nothing else (F) on this earth (G) would make you put (Am) first things (G)first
Stop you (Bb)on a dime, and make you (F/A)realize (G)what life really means
Like fami-(C)ly

(Bridge)
If you've (Am)ever been a witness, to grandma's (G)little house at Christmas
With all those (F)kids in sleeping bags (G) on that old oak (C)floor
You might (Dm)not believe there'd be (C/E)room for one (F) more ---

(Chorus 3)
I (C) get a call out of the blue, make it (G)just in time to that delivery room
When that (Am)doctor handed my (G)baby girl to me (F) (C/E)
No, nothing else (F) on this earth (G) would make you put (Am) first things (G)first
Stop you (Bb)on a dime, and make you (F/A)realize (G)what life really means ---
Like fami-(C)ly
