Verse 1
Flying Burrito Brothers - My Uncle
[D]A [G]letter came [A]today from my [D]draft board
With [Bm]trembling hands I read the [A]questionare
It [G]asked me lots of [A]things about my [D]mamma and [Bm]poppa
Now [A]that ain't what I call exactly [D]fair
So I'm [G]headed for the [A]nearest foreign [D]border
[Bm]Vancouver may be just my kind of [A]town
Cause [G]they don't need the [A]kind of law and [D]order
That [A]tends to keep a good man [D]underground
A [G]sad old soldier [A]once told me a [D]story
[Bm]About a battlefield that he was [A]on
He [G]said a man should [A]never fight for [D]glory
He [A]must know what is right and what is [D]wrong
So I'm [G]headed for the [A]nearest foreign [D]border
[Bm]Vancouver may be just my kind of [A]town
Cause [G]they don't need the [A]kind of law and [D]order
That [A]tends to keep a good man [D]underground
Now [G]I don't know how [A]much I owe my [D]uncle
But [Bm]I suspect it's more than I can [A]pay
He's [G]asking me to [A]sign a three year [D]contract
I [A]guess I'll catch the first bus out [D]today
So I'm [G]headed for the [A]nearest foreign [D]border
[Bm]Vancouver may be just my kind of [A]town
Cause [G]they don't need the [A]kind of law and [D]order
That [A]tends to keep a good man [D]underground
