Grandpa

[G]You stood on that bank when I got baptized

Gave [Em]me a thirty thirty when I turned nine

At [Cadd9]sixteen you caught me drinking out in the [G]barn

[G]I could hear you cheering when we won state

And [Em]you held my hand at Grandma's grave

And [Cadd9]I'll always be thankful you never sold the [G]farm

[Cadd9]Grandpa you s[D]tood so tall

[G]Chewed that Red Man, wore [Cadd9]overalls

You were the same man on Sunday [D]morning as [Em]Saturday night

[Cadd9]Five foot six to the [D]top of your hat

But when you [Em]talked bout the war thought you were [Cadd9]Superman

American born simple [D]man with a southern [Em]drawl

You walk the [Cadd9]walk, you talk the [D]talk, Grandpa [G]

[G] [D] [G]

[G]You still swear Roosevelt was the best

That a [Em]home grown tomato tastes better than the rest

And [Cadd9]fifty years goes too fast with a woman you [G]love

Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now

But i [Em]know where to go when i need to slow down

And when [Cadd9]I walk up on your front porch

It's just [D]like I'm still [G]young

[Cadd9]Grandpa you stood so [D]tall

[Em]Chewed that Red Man, wore [Cadd9]overalls

You were the same man on Sunday [D]morning as Saturday [Em]night

[Cadd9]Five foot six to the [D]top of your hat

But when you [Em]talked bout the war thought you were [Cadd9]Superman

American born simple [D]man with a southern d[Em]rawl

You walk the [Cadd9]walk, you talk the [D]talk, Grandpa [G]

Yeah [Cadd9]American born a [D]dirt road man with that [Em]slow southern [Cadd9]drawl

Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the [D]talk Grandpa [G]
