Verse 1
Ab 
Anybody here  (A flat major) ever have a relative
in their family that lied like a dog?
Not talking about once in a while,
talking about all the time.
You didn't even believe
they were a relative
until you saw the
paperwork on it.
Had an uncle like this,
his name was Benford
Smith Wilson.
We called him Uncle B .S.
You walk up to him,
Uncle B .S.,
where were you
November the 22nd, 1963?
November the 22nd, 1963,
let me think a second.
That's the day everybody's supposed to remember
where they was.
I was working at a school book
depository
in Dallas, Texas.
Houghton Mifflin had just
come out with that new math
and they had them real thick math books
and it's hard to pick them
math book boxes up by yourself
and I told them, y 'all got to get somewhere
in here
to help me with these boxes.
And they hired a fellow named
Harvey
or something.
I can't think of his name.
He'd been in the Marine Corps
and I, of course, in the Navy for five years
and he kept bragging about
what a great shot
your Marine Corps
was
as opposed to your Naval forces.
I said, I'll tell you what,
you little pink old commie bastard.
This afternoon at lunch,
I want you to go back
to your boarding house
and bring back your rifle.
I got two tickets to the
Texas Theater.
Says you can't hit that manhole
cover
down there by that grassy knoll.
F# 
You know, he cracked  (F sharp major) off four shots.
Ab 
Damn, if  (A flat major) the President of the United
States
didn't happen to
drive by at that exact moment.
We felt bad about that.
