[Verse 1]
C                 G                 Am               F
Tied down with a full heart, in my wild days from an early start
C               G                Am              F
Fell hard at twenty-two, landed softly right by you
  C                      G
I gasp for breath in the mountain air
       Am                F
Drove across the plains with no cares
C                    G              Am                F
Chasin' dreams like wildfire, in my kid's eyes I see that desire
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                 Am
They’re pulling me from way back when
F                        C
Tied to the old ways of all my kin
G                  Am
Preaching the word, down in the mines
F                      C                 Am
Out in the hayfields beneath the Seneca skies
Am     G   F                     C  G  F  F
Strike me down, if I cut Family Ties
 
C  G  F  F
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                       G              Am                   F
Born to a world that’s all been found, proud of these songs I sing loud
C                      G                Am              F
First comes first, not me or you, under God it’s those baby blues
C               G                 Am                      F
Gone away from time to time, but that don’t mean I don’t tie a line
C                    G               Am              F
They pull me back if I fall though, damn silver and damn gold too
 
 
[Chorus]
G                                 Am
They’re pulling me from way back when
F                        C
Tied to the old ways of all my kin
G                  Am
Preaching the word, down in the mines
F                      C                 Am
Out in the hayfields beneath the Seneca skies
Am     G   F                     C  G  F  C
Strike me down, if I cut Family Ties

[Chorus]
G                                 Am
They’re pulling me from way back when
F                        C
Tied to the old ways of all my kin
G                  Am
Preaching the word, down in the mines
F                      C                 Am
Out in the hayfields beneath the Seneca skies
Am     G   F                     C  G  Am  F
Strike me down, if I cut Family Ties

The Am in the chorus where he says “down in the mines” I believe should be an Em
