Family chords by Catey Shaw

Chords with lyrics

Based on Trishareo's tab with some additional F's, corrected lyrics, and the interlude after 2nd chorus.
I'm playing this on a guitar rather than a ukulele.


Intro FF C majorC G+G C majorC FF C majorC G+G
   FF C majorC G+G A minorAm FF G+G C majorC

   C majorC        FF    C majorC
I am going back to my sister's house
G+G              C majorC
through the mountains to the place
          FF    G+G   C majorC    FF       G+G   C majorC
where I know I can take my weary soul and smile for a familiar face
    E minorEm       A minorAm             E minorEm
and the roof that I'm standing on feels like an airplane
    A minorAm             E minorEm
city streets below me moving far away
     FF
what I wouldn't give to be there now
   G+G
I'll find my way to you somehow

FF      C majorC        G+G     C majorC
so give me a blanket for my cold cold heart
   FF       C majorC    G+G
you know that I've travelled far
   FF       C majorC   G+G     A minorAm
and I'll give you back a warm warm hide
  FF      G+G      C majorC
to keep with you when we're apart

     A minorAm
we're family
  G+G  FF      C majorC
family, la la la la la
     A minorAm
we're family
  G+G  FF      C majorC
family, la la la la la

       C majorC            FF     C majorC
sure has been one long year since I've been down here
G+G           C majorC
running in a concrete race
         FF    G+G  C majorC     FF       G+G   C majorC
where I'm lonely but far from alone just longing for a slower pace
    E minorEm      A minorAm                 E minorEm
and the roof that I'm standing on won't hide me from the rain
   A minorAm              E minorEm
but I know that I will see you all again
     FF
what I wouldn't give to be there now
   G+G
I'll find my way to you somehow

FF      C majorC        G+G     C majorC
so give me a blanket for my cold cold heart
   FF       C majorC    G+G
you know that I've travelled far
   FF       C majorC   G+G     A minorAm
and I'll give you back a warm warm hide
  FF      G+G      C majorC
to keep with you when we're apart

     A minorAm
we're family
  G+G  FF      C majorC
family, la la la la la
     A minorAm
we're family
  G+G  FF      C majorC
family, la la la la la

Interlude: C majorC G+G FF C majorC

FF      C majorC        G+G     C majorC
so give me a blanket for my cold cold heart

you know that I've travelled far

   FF       C majorC   G+G     A minorAm
and I'll give you back a warm warm hide

to keep with you when we're apart
