[C]I was born, and I was made [F]by the hands of [C]marmalade
[C]I've got legends in my blood; [F]I've got Indians in my [C]veins,
[C]And in the year of '44 [F]Grandpa went away to war,
[Am]And went to Hitler's house and kicked in the door,
[G]There began the way I was [C]made
[C]And in the year of '47 that [F]Rewey girl came down from[C] heaven,
[C]In '48 a bride and groom in [F]love on their honey[C]moon,
[C]And they weren't doin' nothin' wrong, [F]but it's how my mother, came along,
[Am]And here I am with words and song s[G]ingin' 'bout the way I was [C]made,
CHORUS
[C]Oooooo hoo, [F]It feels [C]so good [G]to have your blood in [C]my veins
[C]Oooooo hoo, [F]It feels [C]so good [G]to have your blood in [C]my veins
VERSE
[C]My Dad, he was a country kid. [F]He loved to smoke, and hunt and f[C]ish,
[C]Mom, she was a city babe, a[F] pretty little girl who never a[C]te,
[C]They met at school with broken hearts, and[F] healed each-other from the start,
[Am]Man and woman play your part, [G]now we're closer to the way I was m[C]ade
CHORUS
[C]Whoa! It fee[F]ls so goo[C]d [G]to have your blood in [C]my veins
[C]Whoa! It fee[F]ls so goo[C]d [G]to have your blood in [C]my veins
VERSE
[C]Legend says our family tree grows [F]black and white and Indian leav[C]es,
[C]And if the history books are right, [F]none of us are really white,
[Am]In fact, I think that means, t[G]hat everybody's blood is just the [C]same,
CHORUS
[C]Whoa Oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]veins,
[C]Oooooo hoo, [F]It feels [C]so good [G]to have your blood in [C]my veins,
