P.F. Sloan     Sins Of The Family     by P.F. Sloan

          A
She had a bad childhood

While we were very young
                              E
So please don't judge her too badly
          A
She had a schizophrenic mother

Who worked in the gutter
                                         E
She would have sold herself to the devil gladly
       C#m
What a sad environment

A bug ridden tenament

And when they couldn't pay the rent
                                       E
Was because her father was out getting liquored
                                       sicker
E                                               B
Well the stones been cast in blood thicker than water
        E    A      E      B           E
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
       A
At the age of 16 she had been around
                        E
More than any girl over 30
        A
And the high IQ'S  who condem her knew
                          E
She's  a product of poor heredity
       C#m
It's a fictious  fact when you fall on you back
                                     E                   B
You can back tracke failure without inspection without exception
        E    A      E      B            E
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
             A       E      B          E
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
     A
The devil is open to all of us
                              E
Heaven select just a precious few
       A
And it takes some inside pull to get
                                E
Gabriel to make an angel out of you
    C#m
One can't live   and epect to die

With your soul in paradise
                                  E
You gotta  pay the price like you oughta
                    B
Bloods thicker than water
        E    A      E      B            E
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
             A       E      B          E
And the sins of the family fall on the daughter
