Artist/Band: Bellamy Brothers Tabs
Song: Our Family Tab
Our Family
written by David Bellamy and Bobby Braddock
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
CHORUS:
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
OUTRO: Bb F C7 F
