Verse 1
(A minor) Up my, (E major) up my family tree (A minor)
There (F major) hangs my (G major) curious pedigree
(C major) My (F major) long, my (E major) lurid ancestry
(A minor) The prancing phantoms (B major) and ghosts
Of my (E major) rude forefathers
Nev (D minor) ertheless, (G major) despite their sins
Bless (F major) my (E major) kiths and bless my kins
There (G major) they purge for all to see
(C major) Up (F major) my, (E major) up my, family tree! (A minor)
Up my, (E major) my family tree! (A minor)
No (F major) blue blood, (G major) no nobility (C major)
No (F major) trace of (E major) aristocracy
(A minor) Except for
(B major) Uncle
Sebastian
Who once (E major) raped
Duchess

We've no an (E major) cestral hall (A minor) s,
