Ordinary Family Chords & Lyrics - Donovan

[G]My father c[F#]ut his t[Am]oe o[D]ff
[G]In a rot[F#]ary la[Am]wn mow[D]er
[G]And my mother burst a [D]blood ves[Em]sel
[Am]When my younger brother went to [D]jail

[G]So I told her not to [D]wor[Em]ry
[Am]Not to get in such a flur[D]ry
[G]We're just an ordinary [D]fami[Em]ly
[Am]With the usual [D]calam[G]it[C]y [G]

[G]When I was j[F#]ust a v[Am]irgin la[D]d
[G]My mother [F#]faked a s[Am]uic[D]ide
[G]Because she found the t[D]ell-tale s[Em]ign
[Am]Of puberty upon the s[D]heets
[G]So I told her not to [D]wo[Em]rry
[Am]Not to get in such a flur[D]ry
[G]We're just an o[G]rdinary [D]fam[Em]ily
[Am]With the usual [D]calam[G]it[C]y [G]

[C]We always try to [D]look our [G]be[C]st[G]
[C]We always take care w[D]hen we [G]dr[C]es[G]s
[C]We always [F#]wear clean u[Em]nder[G]wear
[C]In case we're in an acci[Am]dent

[D]Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, t[D]rue
True, true, true, true, true, true, true, true

[G]When I be[F#]come a [Am]married [D]man
[G]With children o[F#]f my v[Am]ery [D]own
[G]Will I lay my i[D]nhibitions [Em]on
[Am]And criticise their sexual[D]ity?
[G]Will I use them to [D]protect [Em]respect?
[Am]Will I try to own them flesh and [D]bone?
[G]Or will I be their [D]equal f[Em]riend
[Am]Encouraging their new i[D]deas?

[G]For the future lies wit[D]hin their h[Em]ands
[Am]And the salvation of all these [D]lands

[G]Yes, the ordinary [D]fam[Em]ily
[Am]Is the only way to set us [G]freee[D]eee
[C]Set us [D]free, [G]set us free[D]eeee
[C]Set us [D]free, s[G]et us freee[D]eeee
[C]Set us [D]free, s[G]et us free
