[N] Special equipment is always important.
That is one [Am] thing.
Another thing [A] is that we kind of work [Bb] around [B] somebody's work.
[A]
[D] [Bb]
And [D]
people, [Bb]
[G] rather than encourage the [A] camera to come [Eb] out,
were actually modest about it.
When the camera would swing around,
they would be like, ah, you [C] can come in hands.
[Bb] I was going to say, that was [A] a little mean.
Or,
[Gbm] you know, if you're not okay,
you can just use that [C] as a base [B] for old home [A] movies.

[C] [F] [Bb]
[F] So the [Bb] ambulance was screaming down Main Street.
[F] I didn't give a damn.
[C] It was [F] my uncle Eugene.
He [Bb] died on October [F] [C]
1981.
[F] And my uncle Wilbur, [Bb]
they all called him Skinner.
[F] They said, but he's [C] gone away.
He'd get [F] drunk in the morning,
showing the [Bb] rolls of Episton Hunters.
He'd get [F] them in the glove box of [C] his old grandpa.
[F] And we're [Dm] all going to [C] be here [F] forever.
So mama, don't you take such a [C] stir.
[F] Just put down that [Bb] camera.
And come on and join up the [F] last family reserve.
My second cousin, [Bb] his name was Calloway.
[F] He died when he barely turned [C] two.
It was [F] peanut butter and [Bb] jelly.
The [F] hell, she [C] didn't know what to [F] do.
She just stood there and she [C] was entangled.
[F]
[Dm] We're all going to [C] be here [F] forever.
Mama, don't you take such a [C] stir.
Just [F] put down that camera.
[Bb] Come on and join up [F] the last [C]
family [F] reserve.
And my friend Brian Temple, [Bb] he thought he could make it.
So [F] from the third story he [C] jumped.
[F] And he missed the swimming pool
[Bb] only by inches.
[F] And everyone [C] said he was [F] drunk.
[Dm]
[C] [F]
[C]
[F]
[Bb]
And
[F] there was great Uncle Julius, [Bb] and Annie Miller,
and Mary [F] Ann, and [C] Granddaddy Paul.
There was [F] Hannah, Ella, [Bb] Alvin, and Pallet.
[F] He owned his own funeral home.
And the more I remember, [Bb]
the more I knew,
the [F] words I could write in his [C]
song.
But [F] I feel him watching, and [Bb] I see him dancing,
[F] and I hear him singing along.
He said [Dm] we're all going to [C]
be here forever.
[F]
Mama, don't you take such a [C] stir.
Just [F] put down that camera.
[Bb]
Come on and join up
[F] the [C] family [F] reserve.
