Matthew Capo3
G Had an uncle name of Am Matthew
D7 was his father's only G boy
G Born just south of Colby, Am Kansas
D7 was his mother's pride and G joy
Chorus
G Yes, and joy was just the C thing that he was Am raised on
D7 Love was just the way to live and G die
G Gold was just a C windy Kansas Am wheat field
D7 Blue was just a Kansas summer G sky
G All the stories that he Am told me
D7 back when he was just a G lad
G All the memories that he Am gave me
D7 All the good times that he G had
G Growin up a Kansas Am farmboy
D7 Life was mostly having G fun
G Riding' on his daddy's Am shoulders
D7 Behind a mule beneath the G sun
Chorus
G Yes, and joy was just the C thing that he was Am raised on
D7 Love was just the way to live and G die
G Gold was just a C windy Kansas Am wheat field
D7 Blue was just a Kansas summer G sky
G Well, I guess there were some Am hard times
D7 and I'm told some years were G lean
G They had a storm in Am '47
D7 A twister came and stripped them G clean
G He lost the farm and lost his Am family
D7 He lost the wheat and lost his G home
G But he found the family Am bible
D7 Faith as solid as a G stone
Chorus
G Yes, and joy was just the C thing that he was Am raised on
D7 Love was just the way to live and G die
G Gold was just a C windy Kansas Am wheat field
D7 Blue was just a Kansas summer G sky
G So he came to live at our Am house
D7 And he came to work the G land
G He came to ease my daddy's Am burden
D7 And he came to be my G friend
G So, I wrote this down for Am Matthew
D7 And it's for him the song is G sung
G Ridin' on his daddy's Am shoulders
D7 Behind a mule beneath the G sun
Chorus x 2
G Yes, and joy was just the C thing that he was Am raised on
