Uncle John's Band Jimmy Buffett
By The Grateful Dead (Garcia)
Performed By Jimmy Buffett
Oh[G], the first days are the hardest days
Do[C]n't you w[G]orry any more
'C[G]ause when life looks like easy street[C]
T[C]here is dang[G]er at your door
T[Amin]hink this through with [Emin]me[C]
Let me know [D]your mind
W[C]hoa-o[D]h, what I w[G]ant to k[D]now-[C]oh,[G]
Is ar[D]e you ki[G]nd
It's a buck dancer's choice, my friend,
Better take my advice
You know all the rules by now,
And the fire from the ice.
Will you come with me
Won't you come with me
W[C]hoa-[D]oh, what I wa[G]nt to kn[D]ow-o[C]h, will you c[G]ome w[D]ith me?[G]
G[G]od damn! well I dec[C]la[G]re
[Amin]Have you s[G]een the l[D]ike
T[D]heir w[C]alls are built of cannonballs
Their mott[G]o is [D]"Don't trea[C]d on me[D]"
C[G]ome hear Uncle John's ba[C]nd [Amin]
Pla[G]ying by [D]the riverside
G[C]ot some things to talk about[G]
He[D]re besid[C]e the r[D]ising tide.

It's the same story the crow told me
It's the only one he knows
Like the morning sun you come
And like the wind you go
Ain't no time to hate
Barely time to wait
Whoa-oh, what I want know-oh
Where does the time go
I live in a silver mine
And I call it Beggar's tomb
I've got me a violin
And I beg you call a tune
Anybody's choice
I can hear your voice
Whoa-oh, what I want to know-oh
How does the song go
C[G]ome hear Uncle John's band [C]
B[Amin]y the r[G]iverside[D]
G[C]ot some things to talk about [G]
Her[D]e besid[C]e the ri[D]sing tide.
C[G]ome hear Uncle John's band [C]
P[Amin]laying to[G] the [D]tide
C[C]ome on along or go alone
[G]He's com[D]e to take[C] his chil[D]dren home.
