Well, I don't know what my uncle did
But he must have done it right
They sure strung him up one Saturday night
D
He had spent his whole life fussin'
Would have spent his last breath cussin'
A Ab G F#
'Til he realized the deal was really done
B
He started screamin' "hallelujah"
E A C# D Eb E
Tryin' to make his peace with everyone
D
Yeah, he was kickin' and screamin'
A
Just like he came in
Bb B
He was kickin' and screamin', darlin'
E F E Eb
Right to the bitter end

And go out hollerin' whoa

Lord, we never want to be here
E AC#DEbA
Sure don't ever want to go

Well, I could hear those church bells ringin'
To my best friend I was clingin'
Screamin' "If you love me brother don't let me go"
D
Well then the whole scene was repeated
Two years later I begged and pleaded
A Ab
Screamin' "If you love me, honey,
G F#
Now you know you wouldn't want to let me go"
