G
Daddy hit the bottle
D
Momma hit the roof
C
They must've hit it off
G              D
I'm the living proof
G
All their bad habits
D
Got handed down to me
C
You can find me hanging
D               G
From the family tree

G
Daddy had his demons
D
They moved in for the kill
C
Daddy up and died
G                       D
Left them demons in his will
G
I'm fighting with the devil
D
And he outweighs me
C                          D      G
Jesus cut me down from the family tree

[Verse]
C                       G
Well, now the roots run deep
           D
Through my own back yard
C              G
The fruit goes bad
       D
And it don't fall far
C            G
Nothing good grows from a
D
Bad seed
G               C                D      G
You can find me hanging from the family tree

G
Drank a little courage
D
Got a hunk of rope
C
Got everything I need
D              G
Everything but hope

G
Carved a prayer in the bark
D
"Heaven please take me"
C                                       D      G
Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree

C                       G
Well, now the roots run deep
           D
Through my own back yard
C              G
The fruit goes bad
       D
And it don't fall far
C            G
Nothing good grows from a
D
Bad seed
G               C                D      G
You can find me hanging from the family tree

Please don't leave me swinging from the family tree
