Intro:
D5D5

Verse 1:
D5D5
Please come to Boston,
          A7sus4A7sus4
was playin’ on the radio
     D5D5
He asked me to go,
          A augmentedA
I thought what the Hell
D5D5
It’s the same ‘ol story,
           A7sus4A7sus4
ain’t there always a man involved
           D5D5
Whole thing reeks of alcohol,
A augmentedA            D5D5
and somebody ends up in jail

Verse 2:
D5D5
My sister Gina,
          A7sus4A7sus4
she always was the pretty one
         D5D5
Just like Audrey Hepburn,
        A augmentedA
in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
D5D5
She coulda had any man,
             A7sus4A7sus4
so I thought he was just another one
     D5D5       A augmentedA     D5D5
’Til that no-tel, motel, shotgun epiphany

Chorus:
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4A7sus4               D5D5
Shoulda known blood is thicker than love
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C majorC             A7sus4A7sus4          D5D5  Dsus4Dsus4
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun

Verse 3:
D5D5
She busted down the door
    A7sus4A7sus4
Room 5 at the Family Inn
       D5D5
My joyride to New England
       A augmentedA
ended with a bang
D5D5
Said ‘Wait ’til I tell mama’
       A7sus4A7sus4
Shot out the TV set
        D5D5
Crushed out her cigarette
        A augmentedA   D5D5
and turned the gun on Bobby Ray

Chorus:
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4A7sus4               D5D5
Shoulda known blood is thicker than love
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C majorC             A7sus4A7sus4          D5D5  Dsus4Dsus4
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun

Verse 4:
D5D5             A7sus4A7sus4
I visit Gina upstate every Saturday
            D5D5
I bring her smokes and Gatorade
          A augmentedA
We don’t talk about Bobby Ray

Chorus:
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4A7sus4               D5D5
I’m sure glad blood is thicker than love
D5D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C majorC             A7sus4A7sus4          D5D5
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun
