Capo II for performance [A] Way out yonder past the glow of an old [A] [A/E] Small town in the middle of nowhere [A] [E] You can drive half an hour from the highway [Bm] [E] And you'll be halfway there [A] You won't hear a sound [E] Till you get right around [D] [Bm/F#] Five miles from the property [D/F#-G#-A] And you can pretty much deduce [Bm] [D] Where all hell breaks loose
Bm/F# [E/G#] [A] You're gonna find my family
[A] One hundred people scattered through [E/G#] [A] Some dozen rooms we rent [E] [Bm/D] And whoever can't deal with their mother-in-law [D] [E] Is free to bring a tent [A] [Bm/F#] We don't care particularly where [E] [A] We camp from year to year [D] [Bm/D] We just need a lake, a kitchen, [E] [A/E] And some coolers full of beer [D] [E] And everybody's laughin' [A] [D/F#-G#-A] At some fifteen-year-old joke [Bm] [D/B] Sittin' around the campfire [E] [A] Or lightin' up a smoke [D] [E] Hikin' up the mountain [A] [D/F#-G#-A] Maybe skinnin' up our knees [Bm] [A] Teachin' young'uns how to cook [D/F#] [E] Old family recipes [D/A] [A/E] [Bm] All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
[D] [A/E] Bm/F# [E/G#] [A/E] Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
[A] Some of us like to scrapbook, [E/G#] [A] And some stick with our guitars [E] [Bm/D] We know we aren't good [E] But we're not scared of those who are [A] [Bm/F#] Now I must confess, there's craziness [E] [A] When this family re-unites [D] [Bm/D] 'Cause we have a ball, but Lord help us all [D] [A/E] [A] On karaoke night [D] [E] And everybody's chillin' [A] [D/F#-G#-A] In a pair of cutoff jeans [Bm] [D] And an old reunion t-shirt [E] [A] From, like, 1993 [D] [E] Playin' barefoot volleyball [A] [D/F#-G#-A] Cat fans against the Griz [Bm] [A] Or sittin' on the sidelines [D/F#] [E] Playin' "Guess whose kid that is" [D/A] [A/E] [Bm] All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
[D] [A/E]Bm/F# [E/G#] [A/E] Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring [D] [E] Once you smell those cinnamon rolls [Bm] [A/C#] Baking in the oven [D] [A] You'd best proceed with caution [E] [A] If you're not at least a cousin [D] [E] A few of us are bossy [A/C#] [D] Some like to rave and rant [Bm] We don't pay much mind to uncles, [D] [E/G#] But you don't mess with our aunts...
[D] [E] And everyone keeps laughin' [A] [D/F#-G#-A] At some fifteen-year-old joke [Em] [D] Sittin' around the campfire [E] [A] And lightin' up a smoke [D] [E] Flyin' off the rope swing [A] [D/F#-G#-A] Swimmin' clear across the lake [Bm] [A] Tellin' tall tales all night [D/F#] [E] Keepin' half the camp awake [D/A] [A] [Bm] All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
[D] [A/E] Bm/F# [E/G#] [A] Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
[D/A] [A] [Bm] All in all, it's all just a big ol' gathering
[D] [A/E] Bm/F# [E/G#] [A] Of in-laws, out-laws and offspring
