Flying Burrito Brothers   My Uncle   written by  Hillman/Parsons

D G              A          D
A letter came today from my draft board
     Bm                                A
With trembling hands I read the questionare
   G                A               D         Bm
It asked me lots of things about my mamma and poppa
    A                               D
Now that ain't what I call exactly fair
       G              A               D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
      Bm                     A
Vancouver may be my kind of town
      G                   A               D
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
     A                               D
That tends to keep a good man underground
   G                A              D
A  sad old soldier  once told me a story
  Bm                            A
About a battlefield that he was on
    G                A                D
He said a man should never fight for glory
   A                                   D
He must know what is right and what is wrong
       G              A                  D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
     Bm                     A
Vancouver may be my kind of town
      G                   A               D
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
     A                                D
That tends to keep a good man underground
    G                A             D
Now I don't know how much I owe my uncle
    Bm                             A
But I suspect it's more than I can pay
     G            A                 D
He's asking me to sign a three year contract
  A                                     D
I guess I'll catch the first bus out today
       G              A               D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border
      Bm                     A
Vancouver may be my kind of town
      G                   A               D
Cause they don't need the kind of law and order
     A                               D
That tends to keep a good man underground
