Great Song, Makes me happy to be who I am
Standard Tuning
CI was born, and I was made Fby the hands of Cmarmalade
CI've got legends in my blood; FI've got Indians in my Cveins
CAnd in the year of '44 FGrandpaw went away to war
AmAnd went to Hitler's house and kicked in the door
GThere began the way I was Cmade 
CAnd in the year of '47 that FRewey girl came down from Cheaven
CIn '48 a bride and groom in Flove on their honeyCmoon
CAnd they weren't doin' nothin' wrong, Fbut it's how my mother came along
AmAnd here I am with words and song sGingin' 'bout the way I was Cmade 
CHORUS
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins 
VERSE
CMy dad, he was a country kid. FHe loved to smoke and hunt and fiCsh
CMom, she was a city babe, a Fpretty little girl who never aCte
CThey met at school with broken hearts and Fhealed each-other from the start
AmMan and woman play your part, Gnow we're closer to the way I was mCade 
CHORUS
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins 
VERSE
CLegend says our family tree grows Fblack and white and Indian leavCes
CAnd if the history books are right, Fnone of us are really white
AmIn fact, I think that means, tGhat everybody's blood is just the Csame 
CHORUS
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins
CWhoa oh! It Ffeels so Cgood to Ghave your blood in my Cveins
