[D#] _ [E] Country music singers have [A] always been a real close family. _ _
[B] But lately some of my kinfolks have disowned a [F#m] few others [E] than me. _
_ I guess it's _ because I [A] kind of changed my direction. _
_ [B] Lord, I guess I went and broke their _ family _ [E] tradition.
They get on me and want to know Hank, _ _ _ _ _ _ Hank, [A] why do you smoke?
_ _ _ [B] Why must you live _ _ _ songs that you [E] wrote? _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ Everybody [A]
made my prediction.
_ [B] So if I get stoned, I'm just carrying on a _ _ 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 my position.
_ [B] If I get stoned and sing all night long, it's a family _ [A] [E] tradition.
[Em] _ _ [E] _ Don't ask me Hank, why do you drink?
_ [A] Hank, why do you smoke?
_ _ [B] Why must you live _ _ _ songs that [E] you wrote?
_ [A] _ [E] If I'm down _ _ talking [A] some old slicks trying to get me to break it.
I [B] say leave me alone, I'm singing all night long, it's a family [Em] [E] tradition.
