[Bbm]
My uncle died in a fire on his birthday,
[Bb] redneck [Eb] that he was,
[Bbm] burning trash in the yard one day.
[Gb] And onto [Bb] the pile he threw an aerosol can of spray, [Gb] and that's [Bb] how he died in the fire [Db] that day.
[Bb]
Before he retired he was a truck driver.
[Gb] He'd be gone through [Eb] the winters [Bb] and all through the summer.
[Gb] In the winters us [Bb] kids would order dominoes and watch happy [Bbm] days.
[Gb]
And in the [Bb] summer we'd dig frogs at the pond and fry up their legs.
[Db] My aunt still lives there.
[Bb] Out in Ohio, [Db] I visit her in [Bb] the auto care.

[Db] I flew out there.

[Bb] The sky was deep [Db] purple.
Babies were crying, [Bb] Kentucky fried.
Chicken was served.
[Db] And that's how he would [Bbm] have wanted [Bb] it, I'm sure.
And after the funeral out there in Navarre,
[Gb] they all [Bb] gathered round when [Eb] I [Bb]
picked up a guitar.
They fell into a trance as I sang and I played.
And [Gb] outside [Bb] the frogs croaked and [Db] the [Bb] mantises prayed.
