Introduction:
E A5
It sits above the mantle, on a couple rusty nails,
E A5
It aint worth a lot of money, and it damn sure aint for sale
B5 A5
The good lord only knows all the stories it could tell,
E
Granddaddy's gun
E A5
He bought it new out of the sears and robuck catalog
E A5
And it shot a many shells over the back of an old bird dog
B5 A5
And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
E
Granddaddy's gun.
Chorus
A5 E
It's just an old double barrel twelve
B5 C#5
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
A5 E B5
It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one
A5 E
Cause I can still hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
B5 C#5
A guns like a woman son it's all how you hold her
A5 E B5
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
A5 E B5
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson
E A
My Granddaddy's Gun
E A5
That old man gave it to me on the day I turned thirteen

With a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean

I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
E
And Granddaddy's gun
