The Way I Was Made Tab

by Griffin House


Great Song, Makes me happy to be who I am

Standard Tuning

                                         
I was born, and I was made by the hands of marmalade
                                                   
I've got legends in my blood; I've got Indians in my veins
                       
And in the year of '44 Grandpaw went away to war
                    
And went to Hitler's house and kicked in the door
                         
There began the way I was made 


                                                   
And in the year of '47 that Rewey girl came down from heaven
                                             
In '48 a bride and groom in love on their honeymoon
                                                                    
And they weren't doin' nothin' wrong, but it's how my mother came along
                                                           
And here I am with words and song singin' 'bout the way I was made 


CHORUS
                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins 


VERSE
                                                             
My dad, he was a country kid. He loved to smoke and hunt and fish
                                                        
Mom, she was a city babe, a pretty little girl who never ate
                                         
They met at school with broken hearts and healed each-other from the start
                                                              
Man and woman play your part, now we're closer to the way I was made 


CHORUS

                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins 


VERSE
                                                               
Legend says our family tree grows black and white and Indian leaves
                                                             
And if the history books are right, none of us are really white
                                                             
In fact, I think that means, that everybody's blood is just the same 


CHORUS

                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
                                               
Whoa oh! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
