Family Values
By Dogwood
Intro: G#..B-Bb-G#-B...Bb-B-Bb (3X)
Bb(pm)-B(pm)
Verse 1:
G# B
When we were kids
Bb G# B
We were told to respect our elders and what they did
Bb
Only speak when spoken to
G# B
When she was stripped
Bb G# B
Of the trust bestowed to us by the one that she loved
Bb
She didn't know she could run to You
E*(16X)
CHORUS:
B Bb G# B
It's a sad time we live in, little girls grow up scared of their dads
Bb G#
It's a feeling they should never have
B Bb G# B
What kind of person can do this, how worthless is the word innocence
Bb G#
To her dear old loving dad?
Verse 2:
G# B
Now her mom sits
Bb G#
Wondering why her baby goes through these fits
B Bb
Of anger, torment, and of rage
G# B
Oh please dear God
Bb G# B
Pick up this small beauty and show her You
Bb
And all the wonders You can do
E* (16X)
(CHORUS)
(INTRO (muted))
G# F* E*
He showed her exactly how to hate
D# C# E* D#
Him a full grown man, she was only eight
G# F* E*
He stole what was most precious to her
D# C# E* D#
Nothing was more sacred, and cannot be returned
(2X)
