The Way I Was Made

Tom: C

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


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


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


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


CHORUS

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


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


CHORUS

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