Singer : Barry Mcguire
Key : C

[Intro]
C F C F (Capo 1st)
F
She had a bad childhood

when she was very young
                       C 
so don't judge her too badly
F
she had a schizophrenic mother

who worked in the gutter

and woulda sold herself
             C 
to the devil gladly
Em
what a sad environment
Am
a bud-ridden tenement
              C
and when they couldn't pay the rent

it was 'cause her father was out
        G     G7 
getting liquored
        C
oh, the stones been cast
                         G
and blood's thicker than water
        C    F    C      G           C     
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
        C    F    C      G           C 
all the sins of a family fall on the daughter


F
at the age of 16 she had been around more
                   C
than any girl over 30
F
and the high I. Q.'s who condemned her
                               C
knew she was a product of poor heredity
Em                              Am
it's a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
C                                                 G
you can backtrack failure with inspection without exception
         C    F  C      G           C 
ah the sins of a family fall on the daughter
        C    F    C      G           C   
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter

break- C-G-C

F
ah the devil is open to all of us
                           C
heavens selects a precious few
F                                                                   
it takes some inside pull to get 
                         C
Gabriel make an angel of you
Em                   Am
one can't live a lie then expect to die
C
ah-with a soul in paradise

you know you gotta pay the price

like you oughtta
                     G
blood's thicker than water
        C    F    C      G           C 
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
        C    F      C      G         C
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter
