Ellsworth

[D]   [Em7]   [G]   [D] [Dsus4]

[D]Grandma burned the biscuits,[A]  nearly took the house down with it,
[Cadd9]Now she's in assisted living, [G]we all knew that day would come,

[D]We knew she was too gone to drive,[A] the day she parked on I-65,
[Cadd9]Found her on the shoulder cryin, s[G]he didn't know where she was,

[Cadd9]  It's like her mind just q[Bm]uit,
Oh but bring up gra[Em]ndpa it's like someone flipped a [G]switch,

A fr[D]ont porch light and a blue Desota,
A [Em]couple of straws in a Coca-Cola[G]-a,
you could see it all goin d[D]own,[A]
A h[D]andsome boy in army green,
A t[Em]ear on his face down on a knee,
A[G] shaky voice, a diamond ring,
She'll [Asus4]put you in that t[A]own,
To[Bm]morrow she won't re[A]member what she did t[Esus4]oday, [E]
But just ask her about [G]Ellsworth, [Em7]Kansas, 194[D]8   [Em7]        [G]

[D]She takes out his medals,[A] a cigar box of letters,
[Cadd9]Sits and scatters pictures, [G]blacks and whites of days gone by,

[Cadd9]we started losin her when [Bm]she lost him,
But to hear her [Em]carry on, You'd swear she's seven[G]teen again,

F[D]ootball games and leaves a cracklin
W[Em]alkin her home in his letter jack[G]et,
You can see it all goin d[D]own,[A]
A pe[D]rfect night on a front porch glider,
S[Em]ayin goodnight for the next three hours,
[G]Her tired eyes go wide and bright,
when she [Asus4]talks about that t[A]own,
To[Bm]morrow she won't re[A]member what she did t[Esus4]oday, [E]
But just ask her about [G]Ellsworth, [Em7]Kansas, 194[D]8   [Em7]         [G]

[D]  [Em7]  [G]  [D]  [A]

While the w[D]orld is fading all around her,
[Em]Sharin' a sundae at the counter,
[G]He's goin on and on about her,
Bet[Asus4] she's right there right n[A]ow,
To[Bm]morrow she won't re[A]member what she did t[Esus4]oday, [E]
But just ask her about [G]Ellsworth, [Em7]Kansas, 194[D]8   [Em7]         [G]             [D]
