Hereditary Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]One, [Bm]two, three
[D]I've

[Verse 2]
seen a saint fall from [Bm]grace
[G]But not sure that I'd [D]use [A]that [D]phrase
So, if grace is something
you can [Bm]mis place
Then [G]what's the point of
[D]it anyway?
'Cause I said it would never [Bm]be me
To [G]waver in this faith, [D]I decree
The apple don't fall [Bm]far from the tree
The [G]hu man [D]condition's hereditary
Oh, the [G]human[Em]
[A]condition's hered[D] itary

[Verse 3]
'Cause it's in [G]the blood
coursing [D]through my veins
Same old [A]story,
[D]sam[A]e family na[Bm]me
Prone [G]to wonder, this heart [D]in me
'Cause the hu[A]man[Asus4]
[A]con[F#]ditio[Bm]n's hereditary
So [Em]would you come take an axe
to my [Bm]fam [G]ily tree?
Oh, Heavenly Father,
would you [A]ad [G]op [D]t me?

[Interlude 1]
[D][Bm][G][A][D]

[Verse 4]
[D]Well, I've stood by in disbe[Bm]lief
Watching the [G]pastor pull up in a
[A]sports [Asus4]car to pr[D]each
'Bout how blessed are the poor
and blessed [Bm]are the meek
And I [G]can't help but see the
[A]irony[D]
'Cause that same impulse
[F#m]lives in me [Bm]too
[G]Put me in the garden, I've [D]taken [G]the [D]fruit
The human condition's not
[Bm]just for the few
Oh, it's [G]here in me just like
[A]it's here [D]in you

[Verse 5]
It's in the [G]blood coursing
through my [D]veins
Same old [A]story, same family [Bm]name
Prone to [G]wonder, this heart in [D]me
'Cause the [A]hu man [F#]condi
[Bm]tion's hereditary
So would you [Em]come take
an axe to my [Bm]fam i[G]ly tree?
Oh, Heavenly Father, would [A]you adop[D]t me?[G][D][A]
[Bm][G][D][A][Bbdim][Bm][Em][Bm][G]

[Verse 6]
[A][D]
'Cause it's in the [G]blood
coursing [D]through my veins
Same old [A]story, [F#m]same fami[Bm]ly name
Prone [G]to wonder, this heart [D]in me
'Cause [A]the human
[F#m]condi [Bm]tion's hereditary
So [Em]would you come take an axe
to my [Bm]fam [G]ily tree?
Would [Em]you pull up the roots
of my [Bm]family [G]tree?
Oh, Heavenly Father,
would [D]you adopt me?
