[Verse 1]
[F]Ain't no more china[C]
[Dm]- - just silver spoons on paper [C]plat[G]es
[F]It's the price you're made
to pay [C]for being [G]late
[F]Pull up a b[C]ars[Dm]tool - - the twins
can take the pi[C]ano [G]bench
[F]Slide a little tig[C]hter now, and
don't complain
[G]It was qui[Am]te the scene when May[F]
belle got to [C]Abilene
Cause kids they say the [G]damnedest
things
Like "Mama's got a baby in
her belly comin' soon"
And the [F]dinner stopped dead,
they all [C]turned their heads
And [G]Papa spit his water 'coss
the turkey and the bread
[F]It boils down [C]to blood - - yeah, in the [G]end
[F]It boils down to blood [C]- - yeah well,
[Am]it's boiled down again

[Verse 2]
[F]It's just a conversatio[C]n - -[Dm] the lady
at [C]the bar looked bored
[G]So [F]he stumbled on to [C]share
a few choice [G]words
[F]A hand in his pocket [C]- - and
[Dm]one hand there on he[C]r [G]knee
[F]A hand on his[C] shoulder - - oops,
[G]that makes three
He could [Am]hear it first be[F]fore he felt
the [C]bottle burst
Hank Williams sayin' it
[G]could be worse
The jukebox singing softly 'bout
the family and the curse
[F]And it was more than luck
when the [C]boots let up
It's his [G]brother standin' over
with the shovel from the truck
[F]It boils down to [C]blood - - yeah, in the end[G]
[F]It boils down to blood [C]- - yeah well,
[Am]it's boiled down again

[Verse 3]
[F]It was damn near midnig[C]ht
[Dm]- - who the hell would[C] knock this [G]late
[F]Answered in a dumb a[C]nd angry daze[G]
[F]Standin' out in her bathrob[C]e,
[Dm]arms tied acro[C]ss her chest
[G]And[F] all her eyes cou[C]ld say
was: "Case[G]y's left"
Well [Am]come in girl, we'll [F]set a pot of [C]tea to boil
I guess we'll burn the [G]midnight oil
Damn the man can't handle
when he's got a thing too good
[F]And she cried all night
- - she was [C]askin' why
Well [G]honey I don't know,
but honey I know we'll be alright
Cause [F]it boils down [C]to blood - - yeah,
in the [G]end
[F]It boils down to blood [C]- - yeah well,
[Am]now let's boil it down again
