I remember when George used to come to our house
D4 D G
For a meeting of one of his clubs
C9
He would often drive down, 'cause we lived close to town
D4 D G
Where the pulse of the big business was
C9
He belonged to the Yacht Club, the Truckers, the Shriners
D4 D G
Though he had no boat and no rig
C9
Still, he'd eat roast beef dinners and hobnob with winners
D4 D G
And wait 'til he hit something big
C G D
But before he could get that big fish on the line
C G Am D
They let everyone in and ruined the Shrine
G C
And he was easily riled and likely to shout
D G C G
Frequently wrong, but never in doubt
C9
His friends called him Skippy, but he had no family
D4 D G
'Til my mother's folks took him in
C9
Just a short blond and wavy, boy from the navy
D4 D G
And he never left home again
C G D
How he married Agnes, oh, I'll never know
C G Am D
She was gracious and gentle and she loved him so
G C
And he was grand in her eyes when they would go out
D G C G
And frequently wrong, but never in doubt
Am G C
Oh, I guess he had a big time
D Am D C
Sharing the secret symbol
Am G C
With masters elect of the night
D Am D G C D G
Down at the Boumi Temple
C9
Well, I guess he was crazy, I think he was lonely
D4 D G
My mother was his best friend
C9
He hollered and cried the day that she died
D4 D G
And I rarely saw him again
C G D
And I guess I've forgotten since I was a kid
C G Am D
I don't know why we loved him, I just know we did
G C
And he was easily riled, likely to shout
D G C G
Frequently wrong, but never in doubt
