Intro:

Verse 1:
D5
Please come to Boston,
                   A7sus4
was playin’ on the radio
         D5
He asked me to go,
                   A
I thought what the Hell
D5
It’s the same ‘ol story,
                     A7sus4
ain’t there always a man involved
                     D5
Whole thing reeks of alcohol,
A                       D5
and somebody ends up in jail

Verse 2:
D5
My sister Gina,
                   A7sus4
she always was the pretty one
                 D5
Just like Audrey Hepburn,
                A
in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
D5
She coulda had any man,
                         A7sus4
so I thought he was just another one
          D5             A          D5
’Til that no-tel, motel, shotgun epiphany

Chorus:
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4                              D5
Shoulda known blood is thicker than love
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C                         A7sus4                   D5   Dsus4
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun

Verse 3:
D5
She busted down the door
       A7sus4
Room 5 at the Family Inn
              D5
My joyride to New England
             A
ended with a bang
D5
Said ‘Wait ’til I tell mama’
             A7sus4
Shot out the TV set
                D5
Crushed out her cigarette
               A      D5
and turned the gun on Bobby Ray

Chorus:
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4                              D5
Shoulda known blood is thicker than love
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C                         A7sus4                   D5   Dsus4
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun

Verse 4:
D5                         A7sus4
I visit Gina upstate every Saturday
                       D5
I bring her smokes and Gatorade
                    A
We don’t talk about Bobby Ray

Chorus:
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
A7sus4                              D5
I’m sure glad blood is thicker than love
D5
My baby sister, sweet baby sister
C                         A7sus4                   D5
I knew you were a pistol, I never knew you owned a gun
