Flying Burrito Brothers
My Uncle
written by Hillman/Parsons
[D] [G] [A] [D]
A letter came today from my draft board
[Bm] [A]
With trembling hands I read the questionare
[G] [A] [D] [Bm]
It asked me lots of things about my mamma and poppa [A] [D]
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
[G] [A] [D]
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
[Bm] [A]
Vancouver may be my kind of town
[G] [A] [D]
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order [A] [D]
That tends to keep a good man underground
[G] [A] [D]
A sad old soldier once told me a story
[Bm] [A]
About a battlefield that he was on
[G] [A] [D]
He said a man should never fight for glory
[A] [D]
He must know what is right and what is wrong
[G] [A] [D]
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
[Bm] [A]
Vancouver may be my kind of town
[G] [A] [D]
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order [A] [D]
That tends to keep a good man underground
[G] [A] [D]
Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle
[Bm] [A]
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
[G] [A] [D]
He's asking me to sign a three year contract [A] [D]
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
[G] [A] [D]
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
[Bm] [A]
Vancouver may be my kind of town
[G] [A] [D]
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order [A] [D]
That tends to keep a good man underground
