intro C5 F5 C5 F5 Capo 1st

F5
She had a bad childhood

when she was very young
                       C5 
so don't judge her too badly
F5
she had a schizophrenic mother

who worked in the gutter

and woulda sold herself
             C5 
to the devil gladly
E5
what a sad environment
A5
a bud-ridden tenement
              C5
and when they couldn't pay the rent

it was 'cause her father was out
        G5     G5 
getting liquored
        C5
oh, the stones been cast
                         G5
and blood's thicker than water
        C5    F5    C5      G5           C5     
and the sins of a family fall on the daughter
        C5    F5    C5      G5           C5 
all the sins of a family fall on the daughter

at the age of 16 she had been around more
                   C5
than any girl over 30
F5
and the high I. Q.'s who condemned her
                               C5
knew she was a product of poor heredity
E5                              A5
it's a fictitious fact when you fall on your back
C5                                                 G5
you can backtrack failure with inspection without exception
         C5    F5  C5      G5           C5 
ah the sins of a family fall on the daughter
        C5    F5    C5      G5           C5   
yea the sins of a family fall on the daughter

F5
ah the devil is open to all of us
                           C5
heavens selects a precious few

it takes some inside pull to get 
                         C5
Gabriel make an angel of you
E5                   A5
one can't live a lie then expect to die
C5
