Tom: C
C F C
Well, you might think there's nothing left but ashes
F C
In a box on a table at Crosby's Bar
F G C ~ Am
But there's more than meets the eye, you didn't leave us when you died
F G
Your spirit will live on in what we do and who we are
C F C
Aunt Betty's gonna tell us stories 'bout the family
F C
Daughter Susan is gonna sing your favourite song
F G C ~ Am
Cousin Perry will spend the day, telling tales of the blue and grey
F G
And the Cajun will keep picking all night long
C F C
We'll be putting down the brisket and tequila
F C
Down in Kerrville with the Seekers of the Shade
F G C ~ Am
'Cause a piece of you lives on, not only in this song
F G
But in all the lives you touched and every friendship that you made
CHORUS:
F G C
We're gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and lobsters
F G C
Bite the worm down in sunny Cancun bay
F G C ~ Am
We'll be home by Christmas Eve, telling tales you won't believe
F G C
And we'll swim in Barton Springs on New Year's Day
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F G C ~ Am F G
C F C
Well, Greg's gonna walk the aisles up at Carlisle
F C
Bringing smiles just like you used to do
F G C ~ Am
Uncle Dave's got a whiskey toast, I'll be driving from coast to coast
F G
And your smiling face will live on in the heart of widow Sue
C F C
Oh, we're gonna jump across the mighty Mississippi
F C
Way up north where it's just a little stream
F G C ~ Am
Brother Bill's gonna keep an eye on the kin you left behind
F G
For you taught us how to live and you showed us how to dream
CHORUS:
F G C
We're gonna go up to Maine and eat some clams and lobsters
F G C
Bite the worm down in sunny Cancun bay
F G C ~ Am
We'll be home by Christmas Eve, telling tales you won't believe
F G C
And we'll swim in Barton Springs on New Year's Day
CHORUS:
F G C
Yeah, we're gonna go up to Maine and suck on the heads of lobsters
F G C
Like a Cajun gone home to Frenchman Bay
F G C ~ Am
We'll be home by Christmas Eve, telling tales you won't believe
F G C
And we'll swim in Barton Springs on New Year's Day
