Capo 1st fret
Standard (EADGBE)
She had a bad childhood
when she was very young
so don't judge her too badly
she had a schizophrenic mother
who worked in the gutter
and woulda sold herself
to the devil gladly
what a sad environment
a bud-ridden tenement
and when they couldn't pay the rent
it was 'cause her father was out
getting liquored
oh, the stones been cast
and blood's thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
all the sins of a family fall on the daughter
at the age of 16 she had been around more
than any girl over 30
and the high I. Q.'s who condemned her
knew she was a product of poor heredity
it's a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
you can backtrack failure with inspection without exception
ah the sins of a family fall on the daughter
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter
Break
ah the devil is open to all of us
heavens selects a precious few
it takes some inside pull to get
Gabriel make an angel of you
one can't live a lie then expect to die
ah-with a soul in paradise
you know you gotta pay the price
like you oughtta
blood's thicker than water
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter
