Steve Earle - My Uncle 





Intro - G - A - D - A - G - A - D - A - D



(verse 1)
    G          A      D
A letter came today from my draftboard,
        D                   A
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire,
    G     A                 D
It asked alot of questions bout my mama and my papa,
     A                  D
That ain't exactly what I call fair,


(chorus)
        G          A           D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
   G               A            D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
       G              A           D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
      G            A             D
That tends to keep a good man underground,


(verse 2)
A sad old soldier once told me a story
About a battlefield that he was on 
He said a man should never fight for glory
I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong


(chorus)
        G          A           D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
   G               A            D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
       G              A           D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
      G            A             D
That tends to keep a good man underground,


(verse 3)
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle,
I expect that it's more than I can pay,
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract,
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today,


(chorus)
        G          A           D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
   G               A            D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
       G              A           D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
      G            A             D
That tends to keep a good man underground,

(chorus)
        G          A           D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border,
   G               A            D
Vancouver might be just my kind of town,
       G              A           D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order,
      G            A             D
That tends to keep a good man underground,
