Family Reserve - Lyle Lovett
E A
When I saw the ambulance screaming down Main Street
E B
I didn't give it a thought
E
But it was my Uncle Eugene
A E B E
He died on October the 2nd, 1981
E
And my Uncle Wilbur
A
They all called him Skinner
E B
And they said for his younger ways
E
He'd get drunk in the morning
A
And show me the rolls of fifties and hundreds
E B E
He kept in the glove box of his old grey Impala
C#min B E
Chorus: And we're all gonna be here forever
B
So Mama don't you make such a stir
E
Put down that camera
A
And come on and join up
E B E
The last of the family reserve
E A
Now my second cousin his name was Calloway
E B
He died when he'd barely turned two
E A
And it was peanut butter and jelly what did it
E B E
The help she didn't know what to do
B E
She just stood there and she watched him turn blue
Chorus
E A
And my friend Brian Temple he thought he could make it
E B
So from the third story he jumped
E
And he missed the swimming pool
A
But only by inches
E B E
And everyone said he was drunk
Chorus
E A
And there was great Uncle Julius and there was Aunt Annie Miller
E B
And Mary and Grandaddy Paul
E A
And there was Hannah and Ella and Alvin and Attic
E B E
And he owned his own funeral home
E A
And there are more I remember and more I could mention
E B
Than words I could write in this song
E A
But I feel them watching and I see them laughing
E B E
And I, I hear them singing along
Chorus
There you go...Keep an eye out, more Lovett tunes to come

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official LYLE LOVETT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
