Many years ago [D] when my daddy died, [A] I caught myself a freight train [E] and my mama cried.
[Am] Looking back it all looks [D] like a marathon, [A] and it started all with an E [E] chord I learned from [A] Uncle John.
Now John had a lot of gumption [D] and he gave me some, and [A] he taught me to ride the dog [E] and the guitar run.
[A] Hey Riverbank in those [D] days wasn't Malibu, [A] but he shared his kitchen table [E] and his family [A] too.
Now right here and now it's [D] thanks to Uncle John, [A] to Claudia, Doug, [E] Norman, Joe, and Lillian.
[A] Now John Burke was really not my uncle, [D] but we work here, [A] cause he shared his home and family [E] and he took me [A] in.
