Intro: G 

G                                                     Am 
It was the thirty first gathering of the Thompsons, Joneses, and Smiths 
             G                                                  D 
There were tables full of chicken, taters, collard greens, and grits 
         G                                  A 
Well it all took place at Hatie Lake State Park 
              G 
Volleyball, fishin', badmitton, yard darts 
      Am                                         D 
Aunt Irene said she'd never seen a turnout like this 

         G 
Well it started with hand shakes and lordy, how the babies have grown 
                                                D 
As the sun got hotter the day got to draggin' along 
   G 
I saw Uncle Gene comin' back from his car 
       C                                  G 
With somethin' clear as water in a mason jar 
                               D                  G 
The lemonade got hearty and, Lordy, the party was on 


     C 
That ol' boom box got louder and louder  
  G 
Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter 
  C                                            D 
Everybody got to showin' their hiney includin' me 
           G 
Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip  
          C 
But the words were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips 
         G                   D                      G 
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree 


G 
Well cousin Johnny was a gator Jimmy was a UT fan 
                                                  D 
And that football talk was quickly gettin out of hand 
        G  
Granny told Uncle Dave that she hated his guts 
      C 
Got right up in his face said, your whole famn damily's nuts 
         G                           D                        G 
Chicken legs got to flyin' And the whoop started hittin' the fan 


     C 
That ol' boom box got louder and louder  
  G 
Actin' civilzed didn't seem to matter 
  C                                            D 
Everybody got to showin' their hiney includin' me 
           G 
Lord I'd never known Granny to take her a sip  
          C 
But the words were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips 
         G                   D                      G 
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree 


     F                       C 
That ol' park ranger jumped out of his car  
        G 
Said, listen here folks, it's gone a little too far 
  F                C  
Tear it all down, pack it all up 
 Dm 
Call it quits while there's still a little love 

Instrumental: C G C Dm 

           G 
Yeah I've never known Granny to take her a sip  
          C 
But the words were a slurrin' comin' off of her lips 
         G                  D                       G 
And it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree 

                             D                       G 
Yeah it dawned on me white lightnin' hit the family tree
