Three Chords and a Lie

Three Chords & a Lie by Uncle John

Well (I) hello and good (IV) day.
I need (V) five minutes of your (I)time.
We service what we sell and (IV) guarantee;
(V) three chords and a (I)lie.

Well hello, I was (IV) gonna call you,
Because the (V) check’s in the (I) mail.
It was good to hear from (IV) let’s do lunch.
I will (V) call you without (I) fail.

It wasn’t me, I wasn’t (IV) near the place.
I was (V) home watching (I)TV.
It was broke when I got there. I (IV) didn’t touch a thing.
(V) Believe (I) me.

Open wide, this won’t (IV) hurt a bit.
(V) We’re here to (I) help.
It’s not the money. It’s the (IV) principle.
(V) We want you to feel (I) swell.

CHORUS X 2
Three chords and a lie, I (IV) hope your satisfied..
Cause (V) it’s the only song that I (I) know.

And I (V) hope you have a real good (I) day.

Done here in the key of E.

Comment by turtlehead on June 21, 2012 at 6:06pm: All smiles over here Unc. Great tune.

Comment by Jim Morris on June 20, 2012 at 8:40pm: I enjoyed that Uncle John. If the truth hurts, tell me a lie! I agree with Hollowbelly about the old timey quality. You'd be right at home at our fiddle and banjo jams here in WV.

Comment by Uncle John on June 20, 2012 at 6:08am: J.P. Naw man, I loved the Gordon Whitefoot thing.

Kid, thanks and I'm glad you thought it was funny. It was meant to be funny but with some truth and irony.

Have a good day, guys.
