Uncle Frank

	  		



     G 
They powered up the city with hydro-electric juice 
    Em 
Now we got more electricity than we can ever use 
     C               C/B                D                      C 
They flooded out the hollow and all the folks down there moved out 
    G                D                  C              G 
But they got paid so there ain’t nothin else to think about 


     G 
Some of them made their living cutting the timber down, 
    Em 
Snaking it one log at a time up the hill and into town. 
  C          C/B    D                 C  
T.V.A. had a way to clear it off real fast. 
     G                    D           C             G 
Lots of men and machinery build a dam and drown the rest. 


Solo 

      G 
Uncle Frank lived in a cabin down on Cedar Creek, 
       Em 
Bought fifteen acres when he got back home from overseas. 
   C          C/B            D                 C 
Fifteen rocky acres, figured no one else would want, 
     G                  D                 C             G 
Till all that backed up water had to have some place to go.  



tabchorus
C C/B D Uncle Frank couldn’t read or write. C C/B D Never held down a job, or needed one in his life. Am Em C G They assured him there’d be work for him in town building cars, it’s already going down
tab
G The cars never came to town and the roads never got built. Em And the price of all that power kept on going straight uphill. C C/B D C The banks around the hollow sold for lakefront property G D C G Where Doctors, Lawyers, and Musicians teach their kids to water-ski.
tabchorus
C C/B D Uncle Frank couldn’t read or write. C C/B D So there was no note or letter found where he died. Am Em C G Just a rope around his neck and the kitchen table turned on it’s side
