G C G My daddy was shy, he lived in Cheyenne G D He turned as red as I've ever seen a man G C And his skin was thick, and he was hard as a brick D Em And just couldn't talk to no one A C G And that must be where I get it from G C G My uncle worked in a plutonium mine G D His job was to set up the dynamite G C And he got too close to a charge underground D Em And all of his feelings went numb A C G And that must be where I get it from
[Chorus]
D C G Ki-yay, yippee yi-yo Em (Riff 2) A C Oh oh oh oh oh oh D C G Em A A Ki-yay, yippee yi-yo
[Verse]

G C G My mama was ten feet tall G D She wasn't afraid of nothing at all G C And she said her prayers to be proper and all D Em She swore on a grave and a gun A C G And that must be where I get it from G C G Great-grandad went mad, he was totally tweaked G D He wore the same suit every day of the week G C And I asked how it feels to be such a freak D Em And he said, "You tell me, son" A C G And that must be where I get it from
[Chorus]
D C G Ki-yay, yippee yi-yo Em (Riff 2) A C Oh oh oh oh oh oh D C G Em A A Ki-yay, yippee yi-yo

G C G Dad's little hands sat in his lap G D Like a couple of crabs who got caught in a trap G C And he shook my hand from so far away that D Em He looked like a spot on the sun A C G And I guess that's where I get it from A C Em And I guess that's where I get it from A C G And I guess that's where I get it from
