My Uncle written by Gram Parsons & Chris Hillman as sung by Steve Earle Album: Transcendental Blues Live Promo Transcribed by: Ryan Giesecke [Intro] G A D A G A D A D [Verse 1]
   G             A            D
A letter came today from my draftboard

       D                               A
With tremblin hands I read the questionaire

   G               A                 D
It asked alot of questions 'bout my mama and my papa

     A                          D
That ain't exactly what I call fair
[Chorus]
        G              A               D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

    D                               A
Vancouver might be just my kind of town

        G                 A               D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

      A                              D
That tends to keep a good man underground
[Bridge] G A D D A G A D A D (same as chorus) [Verse 2]
   G              A                D
A sad old soldier once told me a story

                                A
About a battlefield that he was on

    G                 A                 D
He said a man should never fight for glory

    A                                       D
I guess he knows what's right and what is wrong
[Chorus]
        G              A               D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

    D                               A
Vancouver might be just my kind of town

        G                 A               D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

      A                              D
That tends to keep a good man underground
[Bridge] G A D D A G A D A D (same as chorus) [Verse 3]
      G                 A            D
Ya'll I don't know how much I owe my uncle

                                    A
I expect that it's more than I can pay

     G             A                 D
He's askin' me to sign a three year contract

    A                                D
I guess I'll catch the next bus out today
[Chorus]
        G              A               D
So I'm headed for the nearest foreign border

    D                               A
Vancouver might be just my kind of town

        G                 A               D
Cause they ain't got the kind of law and order

      A                              D
That tends to keep a good man underground
