Family Tree

Verse:
Am            Em          G
These crosses all over my body
Am            Em          G
Remind me of who I used to be
Am            Em          G
Give myself up to him in offering
Am            Em          G
Let him make a woman out of me
Am                     Em          G
I'm just a child but I'm not above violence
Am      Em                    G
My mama raised me better than that
Am                             Em              G
When the preacher talks, that man demands his silence
Am                                 Em                 G
And daddy said, "Shoot first, then run and don't look back"

Chorus:
            Am         Em   G                  Am Em G
So take me down to the river and bathe me clean
              Am                  Em       G
Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
                    Am             Em            G
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me

Solo: Am Em G D

Verse:
Am          Em                   G     D
I've killed before and I'll kill again
Am                          Em             G  D
Take the noose off, wrap it tight around my hand
Am                       Em               G       D
They say heaven hath no fury like a woman scorned
Am                             Em                   G     D
And baby, hell don't scare me, I've been times before

Chorus:
            Am         Em   G    D             Am Em G D

Put me on the back of your white horse to ride
D                    Am             Em            G D
All the way to the chapel, let you wash all over me

Am            Em          G    D
These crosses all over my body
Am            Em           G  D
Remind me of who I used to be
Am             Em                         G
And Christ, forgive these bones I've been hiding
Am          Em                  G       D
Oh, and the bones I'm about to leave, yeah

Chorus:
             Am         Em   G    D               Am Em G D
And take me down to the river and bathe me clean, oh
