_ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] _
[E] Country _ music singers have always been [A] a real close family, _ _ _ [B] but lately some of my kinfolk
have disowned a few [Gbm] others than [E] me. _ _
I guess it's because I kind of [A] changed my direction.
_ Lord, [B] I guess I went and broke their _ family _ [E] tradition. _ _
Get on me, want to know _ _ who you drink, _ tank [A] and wine, and you roll smoke.
_ _ [B] _ Why must you live by the songs that you [E] wrote?
_ _ Oh, _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] everybody make my predictions, _ [B] so if I get stoned I'm just carrying on an old family _
[E] tradition. _ _ _ _ _ _
I am very proud _ _
[A] of my daddy's name. _ _
[B] _ Although his kind of music _ and mine ain't exactly [E] the same. _
Stop and think it over, _ [A] put yourself in [E] my [A] position. _
[B] If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family [E] tradition.
[Bm] _ _
[E] So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink, _ [A] tank and wine, and you roll smoke.
_ _ [B] Why must you live by the songs that [E] you wrote?
_ _ If I'm down in a honky tonk, [A] some old slick's trying to give me friction,
I [B] say leave me alone, I'm singing all night long, it's a family [E] tradition.

_ _ _ Lordy, I have loved some ladies, _ [A] and I have loved him big,
_ [B] and they both tried to kill me _ in _ 1973.
[E] _ _ _ _ When they _ _ asked me, _ [A] son, how'd you get in this condition?
I [B] said, I hate claw bones, I'm just carrying on an old [Eb] family _
[E] tradition.
_ _ So don't ask me, Hank, why do you drink, _ tank [A] and wine, and you roll smoke. _ _
[B] Why must you _ live by the songs that [E] you wrote?
Stop and _ _ think it over, try to put [A] yourself in my unique position. _
[B] If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family _ [E] tradition. _ _
