[Intro 1]
[A][D][A][Bm][G]

[Verse 1]
[D]Family reunion,
[A]fourth of July
It's [Bm]been three years since I've [G]seen it
Now I remember [D]why Aunt
Charlotte's at [A]the door
Big smile on her [Bm]face the first
thing she says to me,
[G]"Looks like you've
gained some weight"
[D]You only get that kind of
[A]honesty from [D]fam[A]ily

[Verse 2]
[D]Uncle Joe's getting plastered
[A]Aunt Marthe's getting mad
[Bm]Same old cousin Doug
[G]Same old jokes, same old [D]bad
Mama has to keep reminding [A]me
Son, they're fam[D]ily
A few [A]new ba

[Verse 3]
[G]bies,
the same [D]old crazies
I've [F#m]known 'em my whole [G]life
and they still [D]amaze me
I didn't [G]choose 'em,
but I'd hate to [Bm]lose 'em
'Cause you gotta [A]love 'em,
they're fam[D]ily

[Verse 4]
[D]
Cousin Linda showed up,
[A]with her new sweetheart
[Bm]I had to laugh when daddy whispered
[G]Fifth time might be
[Bm]the charm[G][D]
And there's a brother Lester
[A]Lives in the city just flew in
[Bm]All the way from way out
[G]yonder

[Verse 5]
We're still not sure about him
[D]But different as we are it's good to be,[A]
a fam[D]ily
A few new ba[G]bies,
the same [D]old crazies
[F#m]I've known 'em my whole [G]life
and they still [D]amaze me
I didn't [G]choose 'em
wouldn't wanna [Bm]lose 'em
But you gotta [A]love 'em,
man they're fam[D]ily

[Verse 6]
[A]When mama said the blessings she
was [Bm]fightin' back the tears
'Cause the [G]last time we
were all together
[D]Grandpa was here and she knew
how [Em]proud he'd be
And how much he'd [D]love to [A]see

[Verse 7]
A few new ba[G]bies,
the same [D]old crazies
[F#m]I've known 'em my whole [G]life and
they still [D]amaze [Em]me
Don't [D]get [G]to choose 'em,
but you hate to [Bm]lose 'em
You gotta [A]love 'em 'cause
they're fam[D]ily
Family reunion, [A]fourth of July
It's [Bm]been three years since I've
seen [G]it now I remember why
