Sounds like this to me. G THANKS TO UNCLE JOHN Merle Haggard Many years ago when my daddy died, I caught myself a freight train and my mama cried. Looking back, it all looks like a marathon, And it started all with an E chord I learned from Uncle John. Now John had a lot of gumption and he gave me some, And he taught me "Rubber Dolly" and a guitar run. A river bank in those days, wadn't my love, [boo?] But he shared his kitchen table and his family, too. Now right here 'n' now, it's thanks to Uncle John, To Claudia, Doug, Norman, Joe, an' Lilli-an. Now John Burke was really not my uncle, but we were kin, 'Cause he shared his home and family and he took me in.
