  			I'm not even sure if there is a studio version of this song (yet).  I'm going by  
the way Roger played it on a bootlegged concert I heard a while ago.  It's in  
standard tuning with no capo. 


Intro: G 

Yeah I am a kaleidoscope in a "paint by numbers" world 
D                     G 
My only light of hope is my Tristan girl 
My sister lord she loves me, she knows I ain't no use 
            D                                     G 
Hell she's crazy as Johnny Knoxville and got more cats than Dr. Seuss 

       C                 G 
We are one big ass happy family 
      D                  G 
Under one big ass family tree 
        C                G 
We are one big ass happy family 
            D                       G 
And life is one big ass family jubilee 

G 

There's a faith beyond religion, a color deeper than your skin 
     D                               G 
Hallelujah brothers 'n sisters, everybody just come on in 
God reveals himself to me in the blood of Jesus Christ 
        D                                      G 
He's almighty and may reveal himself in other ways in other eyes 

We are one big ass happy family 
Under one big ass family tree 
We are one big ass happy family 
And life is one big ass family jubilee
