The Way I Was Made Griffin House
Great Song, Makes me happy to be who I am
Standard Tuning
[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]Grandpaw 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]Whoa oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]veins
[C]Whoa oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]veins
VERSE
[C]My dad, he was a country kid. [F]He loved to smoke and hunt and fi[C]sh
[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 oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]veins
[C]Whoa oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]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]Whoa oh! It [F]feels so [C]good to [G]have your blood in my [C]veins
