Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Uncle Ver[Bm]non, Unc[G]le Vernon,
inde[Bm]pendent as a [G]hog on [F#]ice
He's a [Bm]big-shot down [G]down
there at the slaughterhouse
Plays accordion for [Bm]Mr. [F#]Weiss[B][Em]

[Verse 2]
Uncle Biltmore [C]and Uncle William
Made a million during
World War [Em]Two[B]
[Em]But [C]they're tightwads and
they're cheapskates
And they'll never give [Em]a dime to you

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][Em][C]
[F][G][Em][C][F#][G][C][G]
[Em]Auntie [G]Mame [Bm]has gone

[Verse 3]
[G]in sane
[Bm]She live[G]s in the doorway
of an old [Bm]hotel[F#]
[Bm]And the [G]radio is playing opera
All she ever says is [Bm]go to[F#] hel[B]l
[Em]Uncle Violet flew

[Verse 4]
[C]as a pilot
And there ain't no pretty
girls in [B]France
Now he [Em]runs [C]a tiny
little bookie joint
They say he never [Em]keeps it [C]in [B]his [Em]pants
[Am]Uncle Bill will

[Verse 5]
[F]never leave a will
And the tumor is as big as an [Am]egg
[Em]He h[E]as a mistr[Am]ess, she's[F] Puerto Rican
And I [Am]heard she has a [Em]wooden [Am]leg

[Interlude 2]
[Am][F][Am][G][D][G][C]
[Am][C][F][G][C][G][C][Am][Bm]

[Verse 6]
Uncle Phil can't [G]live without his pills
He has emphysema and
he's almost [F#]blind
And we [B]must find [G]out where the money is
Get it now before he [B]loses [F#]his m[B]ind
[Em]Uncle Vernon,

[Verse 7]
[C]Uncle Vernon,
independent as a hog on [B]ice
He's a [Em]big shot [C]down there
at the slaughterhouse
He plays ac[Em]cordion for Mr. Weiss
