When Uncle Bill Quit Dope chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

Verse:

C majorC
Well Uncle Bill was my Mothers Brother,
 FF
A augmentedA tall lanky man
   G+G                   C majorC
But somewhere back in Uncle Bill's life, he took to sniffing cocaine.

I'd find him out in the back yard,
FF
sitting against a tree.
  G+G
His eyes bugged out in a cocaine stare,
    C majorC
and his mind in a cocaine dream.
C majorC
Well one fall day when Uncle Bill was
FF
having a cocaine fit,
    G+G
He said Louise this dope's no good
     C majorC
and I've made up my mind to quit.

Now you take this key and I'll go upstairs and
FF
then you lock the door,
  G+G
and Lord I swear I'll stay up there,
    C majorC
till I don't want dope no more.


Chorus:

    FF            C majorC          FF         C majorC
Well he stomped the floor and he beat the door and he moaned a mournful cry.
     AM        G+G         DM           G+G
When the last cocaine went through his brain we thought he'd surely die.
  FF              C majorC            FF         C majorC
He yelled and he cussed and he fell on the floor and we almost gave up hope
C majorC                  FF        C majorC
