Am                                   C              
She was a girl living in the city clinging to old religion 

G                        Am              G
Praying for electricity to keep it warm for the little ones 

Am                       C
Nobody made her wise to the things a girl might find 

       G                        Am          G
In a belly of a hungry man who don't care nothing about his 



               (Chorus)

Am                              C
Bloodline, she got lost in the bloodline 

                   F
Heavy cost of a bloodline 

                   C                 G
She goes on she cries at night and keeps alive his

Am                                 C
Bloodline, so much riding on a bloodline 

                            F
Why is he hiding from the bloodline

                  C                  G                 Am     C G Am G
It aint right she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline 





Am                               C
She heard heaven is invite only reserved for Christian soldiers 

G                                  Am                G
Not unwed girls living in the city asking for change from strangers

Am                              C               
But father said Jesus loves her even though she never married 

G                                      Am         G          
God loves her more than the Christians do, she's part of his holy 



              (Chorus)

Am                               C
Bloodline, she got saved in the bloodline 

                            F
The price he paid for the bloodline 

                      C                  G
Changed her life she cries at night and keeps alive his 

 Am                             C
Bloodline, she believes in his bloodline 

                            F
Lives and breathes by the bloodline 

                        C                  G               Am
With all her might she cries at night and keeps alive his bloodline 

            C       G     Am  G
Ohhhhhhhhhh oooooooooooo 





Am                                  C
I know I should have never left her to shoulder all the burden 

G                             Am     G
She probably won't forgive me god might not either 

Am              C
I made a cross and lay it on her back 

G                            Am           G
But I never broke her spirit and she owes that to her 



                 (Chorus)

Am                                    C
Bloodline, she stayed strong for the bloodline 

                    F
I did wrong by the bloodline 

                     C                  G
But she went on she cried at night and kept alive the 

Am                            C
Bloodline, sacrifice for the bloodline 

                        F
Paid the price for the bloodline 

                      C                  G              Am
For all her life she cried at night and kept alive the bloodline 

        C           G
Ooohhoohhoohhhhhoooo

      Am                 G               Am      
she cried at night and kept alive her bloodline

      C    G   Am   G   Am
oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
