Family Is Family Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 1]
They're [D]there for your first year,
they give you your first beer
When [Em]you get your heart broke,
they're there for your worst year
Don't [A]get you at [Em]all,
[A]but your apple don't [F#m]fall too far f[D]rom 'em
[Bm][D]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
They [D]own too much wicker and
drink too much liquor
You'd [Em]wash your hands of them,
but blood's always thicker
You [A]might look just [Em]like [A]'em,
that don't mean you're [F#m]like 'em
But you [D]love 'em

[Verse 3]
[D]Family is family, in [G]church or in prison
You [A]get what you get,
and you [G]don't get to [A]pick 'em
They [D]might smoke like chimneys,
but [G]give you their kidneys
Yeah, [A]friends come in handy,
but [G]family is [A]fam[D]ily
[Bm]

[Verse 4]
They're there [D]when you're married,
divorced, and remarried
[Em]You fall out of touch,
but then someone gets buried
And you're [A]right back together like no
time has ever gone [D]by
[Bm][D]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
Can't live [D]with or without 'em,
you might talk about 'em
But [Em]if someone else does, well,
then you'll knock 'em out 'cause
When [A]it's all said and done,
they're the [F#m]only ones that you g[D]ot

[Verse 6]
[D]Family is family, in [G]church or in prison
You [A]get what you get,
and you [G]don't get to [A]pick 'em
[D]They might smoke like chimneys,
but [G]give you their kidneys
Yeah, [A]friends come in handy,
but [G]family is [A]fam[D]ily

[Interlude 1]
[Em][G][A]

[Verse 7]
[D]Yeah, family is funny,
they'll [G]ask you for money
[A]Even though they know you
[G]ain't [A]got no money
[D]They show up at Christmas,
get [G]up in your business
They [A]might not be fancy, but [G]family is [A]family
[D]

[Interlude 2]
[Bm][D][Bm][D][Bm]

[Verse 8]
You [A]might look just like 'em,
that don't [F#m]mean you're like 'em
But you love 'em
