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 Grandpa 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,
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/g/griffin_house/the_way_i_was_made_crd.html ]
CHORUS
C F C G C
Oooooo hoo, It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
C F C G C
Oooooo hoo, 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! It feels so good to have your blood in my veins
C F C G C
Whoa! 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
Oooooo hoo, It feels so good to have your blood in my veins,
