              UNCLE JOHN FARQUHAR
              GOODNIGHT, TEXAS

INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
 A augmentedA    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Started work when I was ten
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Like my father did back then
     D MajorD           A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames

 A augmentedA   D MajorD           A augmentedA
Fifty years up in that that mill
     D MajorD         A augmentedA
I nearly killed myself and still
     D MajorD       A augmentedA     D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
I ain`t got no dollar bill to my name

INSTRUMENTAL:
A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
 A augmentedA    D MajorD          A augmentedA
Old Bill Hicks from nowhere`s middle
      D MajorD        A augmentedA
Taught me how to play the fiddle
     D MajorD        A augmentedA    D MajorD  A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
In East Ohio there ain`t too much goin` on

 A augmentedA   D MajorD        A augmentedA
But we like it that way here
     D MajorD       A augmentedA
Not much changes every year
       D MajorD        A augmentedA
Except the whiskey jug gets lower
      D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Till it`s gone

CHORUS:
         G+G
At the same old screen door
     D MajorD
That the dog scratched through
         G+G
And the same old wood floor
    D MajorD
Underneath my shoe
         G+G
And the same old woman
     D MajorD      B minorBm
Making chicken every night
     A augmentedA       A augmentedA
Yeah, I guess did alright


INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD


VERSE:
A augmentedA   D MajorD     A augmentedA
I was only seventeen
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Met a girl from Bowling Green
      D MajorD    A augmentedA    D MajorD    A augmentedA Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
It was the fieriest kind of winter fling

 A augmentedA    D MajorD        A augmentedA
She got pregnant with my son
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
I didn`t have nowhere to run
   D MajorD        A augmentedA       D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
So I manned up and we married in the Spring


CHORUS:
         G+G
At the same old screen door
     D MajorD
That the dog scratched through
         G+G
And the same old wood floor
    D MajorD
Underneath my shoe
         G+G
And the same old woman
     D MajorD       B minorBm
Causin` trouble every night
     A augmentedA        A augmentedA
Yeah, I guess I did alright


INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA
G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
G+G B minorBm A augmentedA A augmentedA


VERSE:
 A augmentedA    D MajorD        A augmentedA
Started work when I was ten
     D MajorD        A augmentedA
Like my father did back then
     D MajorD           A augmentedA   D MajorD    A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
Driving Pittsburgh steel with hammers under flames

 A augmentedA    D MajorD      A augmentedA
Now I`m nearly sixty-eight
    D MajorD         A augmentedA
Got a gal that sets me straight
       D MajorD       A augmentedA
And I`ve got supper on my plate
        D MajorD        A augmentedA
And I`ve got grandkids on the way
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
And I owe money to the state
      D MajorD       A augmentedA
Because my taxes all were late
       D MajorD        A augmentedA
But if you think I care then you`re
N.C.     D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Just makin` noise


CHORUS:
         G+G
At the same old screen door
     D MajorD
That the dog scratched through
         G+G
And the same old wood floor
    D MajorD
Underneath my shoe
         G+G
And the same old woman
    D MajorD         B minorBm
Leavin` on that old porch light
     A augmentedA N.C.
Yeah, I guess I did alright
