VERSE 1:
[G] [Am] [D] [G]
I had an uncle name of Matthew...he was his father's only boy
[Am] [D] [G]
Born just south of Colby, Kansas...he was his mother's pride and joy
[CHORUS]
[G] [C] [Am]
Yes, and joy was just the thing he was raised on
[D] [G] [C] [G]
Love was just a way to live and die
[C] [Am]
Gold was just a windy Kansas wheat field
[D] [C] [G]
Blue was just a Kansas summer sky
VERSE 2:
[Am] [D] [G]
And all the stories that he told me back when I was just a lad
[Am] [D] [G]
All the memories that he gave me...all the good times that he had
[Am] [D] [G]
Growin' up a Kansas farmboy...life was mostly havin' fun
[Am] [D] [G]
Ridin' on his daddy's shoulders behind a mule, beneath the sun
[CHORUS]
[Am] [D] [G]
Well, I guess there were some hard times and I'm told some years were lean
[Am] [D] [G]
They had a storm in '47...twister came and stripped 'em clean
[Am] [D] [G]
He lost the farm and lost his family...he lost the wheat, he lost his home
[Am] [D] [G]
But he found the family bible and faith as solid as a stone
[CHORUS]
[Am] [D] [G]
So he came to live at our house...and he came to work the land
[Am] [D] [G]
He came to ease my daddy's burdens and he came to be my friend
[Am] [D] [G]
So I wrote this down for Matthew...it's for him this song is sung
[Am] [D] [G]
Ridin' on his daddy's shoulders behind a mule, beneath the sun
CHORUS: repeat twice
