Uncle John's Band

  G
Well the first days are the hardest days,
          C         G
Don't you worry any more,
       G
'Cause when life looks like Easy Street,
         C              G
There is danger at your door.
Am                      Em
Think this through with me,
C                D
Let me know your mind,
C   D          G       Am   G
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
   D       G
Is are you kind?

It's a buck dancer's choice my friend;
Better take my advice.
You know all the rules by now
And the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me?
Won't you come with me?
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
Will you come with me?

G                 C
Goddamn, well I declare,
Am       G        D
Have you seen the like?
      C
Their walls are built of cannonballs,
      G     D         C        D
Their motto is "Don't tread on me".
G                      C    Am      G      D
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide,
C
Come with me, or go alone,
     G       D        C        D
He's come to take his children home.


G  D  C  D     G   D   C   D

It's the same story the crow told me;
It's the only one he knows.
Like the morning sun you come
And like the wind you go.
Ain't no time to hate,
Barely time to wait,
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
Where does the time go?

I live in a silver mine
And I call it Beggar's Tomb;
I got me a violin
And I beg you call the tune,
Anybody's choice,
I can hear your voice.
Wo, oh, what I want to know,
How does the song go?

G                      C    Am     G    D
Come hear Uncle John's Band by the riverside,
C
Got some things to talk about,
G      D        C      D
Here beside the rising tide.

G                      C    Am      G      D
Come hear Uncle John's Band playing to the tide,
C
Come on along, or go alone,
     G       D        C        D
He's come to take his children home.
