Intro: Dm Bb F F Verse 1: Dm Bb They got my blood up in their veins F F I get a cut, they feel my pain Dm Bb They got my heart, they got my soul F F E They know the stuff nobody knows Dm Bb F F When we’re out for dinner we’re cussing like sailors Dm Bb Gm The people are staring and talking in whispers Gm “Hey what’s with the strange breed?” Chorus: F Dm They is my family, they is my family Bb C They might be crazy, but they is my family F Dm You can’t get through them unless you get through me Bb C You xxxx with them you xxxx with me Interlude: F F Verse 2: Dm Bb And when you’re standing on the ledge F F I’ll pull ya down, put you to bed Dm Bb And if you’re bleeding from the heart F F E I'll come around, and clean it up Dm Bb F F E When we’re at the party we’re dancing on tables Dm Bb Gm And people are staring like they got a peephole Gm “Hey look at the strange breed” Chorus: F Dm They is my family, they is my family Bb C They might be crazy, but they is my family F Dm You can’t get to them unless you get through me Bb C You xxxx with them you xxxx with me Verse 3: Gm F Bb a motley crew, a rodeo F A a goddamn zoo, a circus show Bb But oh don’t you know how it goes Db C Db Eb F We are all walking each other home Chorus: F Dm They is my family, they is my family Bb C They might be crazy, but they is my family F Dm You can’t get to them unless you get through me Bb C You xxxx with them you xxxx with me -that last line is fast and you should listen to the recording to figure out the tempo of that- Chorus: F Dm They is my family, they is my family Bb C They might be crazy, but they is my family F Dm You can’t get to them unless you get through me Bb C You xxxx with them you xxxx with me
For the intro and first verse I do:
A— — — 2 — — — — 0 — — — — 3 — — — — 0 — —
E — — 3 3 — — — 2 2 — — — 0 0 — — — 2 2 — —
C — 2 — — — — 2 — — — — 0 — — — — 2 — — — —
G— — — 0 — — — — 2 — — — — 0 — — — — 2 — —
the chords you need to hold for the fingerpicking are g,d,c,d.
The rest of the song I strum with the chords that ukutabs gives.
strumming pattern: DDU (down, down, up)
i think it sounds best!
what can you exchange bm for?
They’re literally missing the whole beginning to this song but whatever ig
i suggest this plucking strings C,E,A,E for the whole song
like this for the g chord
A—2-
E–3-3
C-2—
G—–
it helps to listen to the recording to get it, but overall these chords are awesome!!
Great Tab! Thank you!!
I also like playing a D7 in some parts of the song, especially on the last chorus. Gives it more of a dramatic feel.
Thanks again!:D
Great song
pick like this for the chorus
A———2—
E——3——
C—2——–2
G————-
It sounds best at -2 and you sing soprano. \( ^ o ^ )/
After the D chord on the line “last dance” at the end of the first verse, play a D7 before you go into the G chord at the start of the verse 😉
