                          FAMILY TREE
                     MICHAEL MARTIN MURPHEY


INTRO:
NONE

VERSE:
                C
Gonna buy some wood every size and length
                G                  C
Gonna build it good using all my strength
                                          F
Gonna clear the land where the house will be
                    C    G               C
And start another branch  of the family tree

N.C.           C
Gonna chalk a line and lay a walnut floor
                    G                      C
Build the walls of pine and hang a cherry door
                                    F
I`ll cut the beams above from mahogany
                  C   G                 C
And I`ll get the love  from the family tree


CHORUS:
              Am                    C
I`ve wandered far and I`ve walked alone
                  Am  F                G
Till the morning star  finally led me home
                 C                        F
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
                C   G               C
Living in the shade  of the family tree


VERSE:
                  C
Gonna fill this place like my daddy did
                 G                   C
With a friendly face and a bunch of kids
                                     F
Even though he`s gone he`s a part of me
           C  G             C  A
As I carry on  this family tree


VERSE:
N.C.                D
Girl, the wind may blow and the clouds may come
                  A                      D
Bringing ice and snow, blocking out the sun
                                         G
The earth may quake and the ground may freeze
                  D   A             D
They will never shake  this family tree


CHORUS:
              Bm                    D
I`ve wandered far and I`ve walked alone
                  Bm  G                A
Till the morning star  finally led me home
                 D                        G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
                D   A               D
Living in the shade  of the family tree

 D                                   G
Mama look at him, don`t he look like me
                 D   A               D    D    A    D
He`s the latest limb  on the family tree

                 D                        G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
                D   A               D   D    A     D
Living in the shade  of the family tree


OUTRO:
                 D                        G
Now I`m here to stay where I was meant to be
                D   A               D
Living in the shade  of the family tree
