Our Family

	  		One of my new favorites of theirs. 
There are lots of walk-ups and walk-downs in this song. 


INTRO: A  E  E7 

              E                            C#m 
well they let Bubba out of prison, well he paid for his crime 
E                                                       E7                                     
He didn't know them bad checks could get him so much time 
     E                                        C#m 
And sister's getting married, well there's a shotgun on the groom 
E                                      B7               E  E7 
I hope they finish the weddings vows before the baby's due 


And Harry's in the closet, well he's been there all his life 
And everybody wonders why he never took a wife 
And we owe a lot of bills and try to live beyond our meals 
We ain't got a pot, but we've got cable TV 

          A                    E               E7 
But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts 
     C#m                                      E 
And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most 
 A                           E 
There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree 
          C#m                          E         B7  E 
Yeah and we may all be crazy, but it's still our family


INTRO 

Grandpa got a girlfriend, a woman half his age 
Grandma laughs about it but I sense a silent rage 
And Uncle Bert still thinks he's on the Grand Ole Opery 
Well that fever from the war left him livin' in a dream 


(key change to F) 

F                                        Dm 
Well we burried great Aunt Martha out at Forest Lawn today 
F                                                        F7 
Now I think I know why they called Great Aunt Martha great 
F                                         Dm 
The church was full of strange men, Mama called it a disgrace 
     F                                             C7                  F 
She said they should have wiped that smile off of Great Aunt Martha's face 


F7 

CHORUS: 
         Bb                   F 
But it's our family full of skeletons and ghosts 
    Dm                                        F                    F7 
And even with our strange relatives it's the one we love the most 
Bb                            F 
There may be a bunch of nuts up our family tree 
         Dm                            F        C7  F 
Yeah and we may all be crazy but it's still our family
