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
