  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

                             G                 C           Am

     CHORUS:  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

                               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 2X
