Dm                                    Bbmaj7      Am         Gm7  C7
It's a family affair,        It's a            family affair
It's a family affair,        It's a family affair

 Gm7                C7                                   Gm7                                 C7
One                  child      grows up to be, Somebody that just loves to learn
And another   child    grows up to be, Somebody you'd just love to burn

Mom loves          the both of them,               You see, it's in the blood
Both kids            are good to mom,        Blood's thicker than the mud

                     Gm7                          C7.               
It's a family affair, It's a family affair         Dm       
It's a family affair, It's a family affair.  Over there, world gone bad

Gm C7 x 4 solo (D turn around)

 

Newlywed     a year ago,     But you're still checking each other out, hey
Nobody       wants to blow,  Nobody wants to be left out, uh-huh

Gm7                            C7 (same groove)

You can't leave    'cause your heart is there
But, sure, you can't stay 'cause you been somewhere else
You can't cry 'cause you'll look broke down
But you're cryin' anyway 'cause you're all broke down

It's a family affair, It's a family affair (same groove)
It's a family affair, It's a family affair
Oh, hey, a family affair, It's a family affair
ow, It's a family affair <--- A
