[Verse 1]
Abm7     B
Just for the record,
Db
let's get the story straight
       Abm7      B
Me and Uncle Tom were fishin',
Db
it was gettin' pretty late
Abm7   B         Db
Out on a cypress limb above the wishin' well
           Abm7       B
Where they say it got no bottom,
Db          Gb
say it take you down to hell

[Verse 2]
Ebm                                    Abm
Over in the bushes and off to the right
     Ebm                                  Db
Come two men talkin' in the pale moonlight
Ebm                                Abm
Sheriff John Brady and Deputy Hedge
                                                Db
Haulin' two limp bodies down to the water's edge

[Chorus]
Badd9       Gb                 Db
     I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, oh,
    Ebm
yeah
Badd9       Gb                  Db      Abm Ebm
     I know a secret that I just  can't tell

[Verse 3]
                                      Abm
They didn't see me and Tom in the tree
Ebm                                           Db
Neither one believin' what the other could see
Ebm
Tossed in the bodies,
                    Abm
let 'em sink on down
       Ebm                                           Db
To the bottom of the well where they'd never be found

[Chorus]
Badd9       Gb                 Db
     I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, oh,
    Ebm
yeah
Badd9       Gb                  Db      Abm Badd9
     I know a secret that I just  can't tell
       Gb                 Db
I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin
Gb       Badd9                  Ebm     Db    Badd9
  I know a    secret that I just   can't  tell     I know
Gb                 Db
a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin
Abm                              Ebm
Know who put the bodies in the wishin' well

[Verse 4]
Abm7         B
Soon as they were gone,
Db
me and Tom got down
Abm7        B     Db
Prayin' real hard that we wouldn't make a sound
Abm7            B         Db
Runnin' through the woods back to Uncle Tom's shack
          Abm7     B       Db              Gb
Where the full moon shines through the rooftop cracks

[Verse 5]
Ebm                                   Abm
Oh my God, Tom, who are we gonna tell?
Ebm                                     Db
The Sheriff, he belongs in a prison cell
Ebm
Keep your mouth shut,
                          Abm
that's what we're gonna do
           Db                     Abm
Unless you wanna wind up in the wishing well too

[Chorus]
Badd9       Gb                 Db
     I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin
Gb       Badd9                  Ebm     Db    Badd9
  I know a    secret that I just   can't  tell     I know
Gb                 Db
a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin, ooh, yeah,
Badd9    Gb

  Oh,
Badd9       Gb                 Db
     I know a secret down at Uncle Tom's cabin
Abm
Know who put the bodies,
