Jason Boland - Family Tradition (Live)

E                                   A
Country music singers always been a real close family
    B7        	  	  	  	  	         E
But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a few others and me
  	  	  	    A
And I guess it's because, I kinda changed my direction
B7  	  	  	  	             E
Lord, I guess I went and broke their Family Tradition

Chorus:
So they wanna know Hank
E       	      F G/F# G
Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)
A
Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)
B7           	  	              E
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?  (Get Laid)
  	  	  	  	     A
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position
   B7     	  	  	  	                   E
If I get stoned, sing all night long, it's a Family Tradition.

 E 	  	    A
Lord I am very proud, of my daddy's name
B7 	  	  	                              E
Although his kind of music, and mine ain't exactly the same
 	  	  	  	       A
If I'm down in a honky-tonk, and some ol slicks tryin' to gimme some
friction
B7 	  	  	  	  	             E
Say leave me alone singin' all night long it's a Family Tradition
 
Chorus2:
Still they all wanna know Hank
E       	      F G/F# G 	            
Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)
A
Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)
B7           	  	  	  	 E
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?  (Get Laid)
                                        A
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my unique position
   B7                                                          E
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a Family Tradition.

E                             A
I have loved some ladies, and I have love Jim Beam
    B7                                                   E
And they both tried to kill me, back in nineteen seventy-three
                                A
When that doctor asks me, "Son, how'd ya get in this condition?"
       B7                                                 E
I say "Hey Sawbone, I'm just carryin' on an old Family Tradition."
 
Chorus:3
So they wanna know Hank
E       	  F G/F# G 	             
Why do you drink? (Get Drunk)
A
Why do you roll smoke? (Get Stoned)
B7           	  	  	      E
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote?  (Get Laid)
      	                               A
Stop and think it over, put yourself in my position
B7                                                              E
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a Family Tradition.
B7                                                              E
If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's just a Family Tradition.
