Family Is Family
Tuning: E A D G B E
4/4
Capo on third fret
[Intro]
| D | % | % | % |
[Verse]
D
They're there for your first year, they give you your first beer
Em
When you get your heart broke, they're there for your worst year
A D
Don't get you at all, but your apple don't fall too far from 'em
| D |
D
They own too much wicker and drink too much liquor
Em
You'd wash your hands of them, but blood's always thicker
A
You might look just like 'em; that don't mean you're like 'em
D
But you love 'em
[Chorus]
D Em
Family is family, in church or in prison
A G A
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
D Em
They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys
A G A N.C.
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family
| D | % |
[Verse]
D
They're there when you're married, divorced, and remarried
Em
You fall out of touch, but then someone gets buried
A D
And you're right back together like no time has ever gone by
| D |
D
Can't live with or without 'em; you might talk about 'em
Em
But if someone else does, well, then you'll knock 'em out cause
A D
When it's all said and done, they're the only ones that you got
[Chorus]
D Em
Family is family, in church or in prison
A G A
You get what you get, and you don't get to pick 'em
D Em
They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys
A G A N.C.
Yeah, friends come in handy, but family is family
[Middle 8]
| D | Em | G | A |
[Chorus]
D Em
Yeah, family is funny, they'll ask you for money
A G N.C. A N.C.
Even though they know you ain't got no money
D Em
They show up at Christmas, get up in your business
A G A N.C.
They might not be fancy, but family is family
| D | % | % | % |
[Outro]
A
You might look just like 'em; that don't mean you're like 'em
D N.C.
But you love 'em
