Introdução:
G C
Oh, Grandpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every day
G D
No particular reason, he just dressed that way
G C
Brown necktie with a matching vest and both his wingtip shoes
G D G
He built a closet on our back porch and put a penny in a burned-out fuse
C G
Grandpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and banks
C G D
Chain-smoked Camel cigarettes and hammered nails in panks
G C
He was level on the level, he shaved even every door
G D G
And voted for Eisenhower, 'cause Lincoln won the war
(Instrumental}
G C
Well, he used to sing me "Blood on the Saddle" and rock me on his knee
G D
And let me listen to the radio before we got TV
G C
Well, he'd drive to church on Sunday and he'd take me with him too
G D G
Stained glass in every window, hearing aids in every pew
(Repeat Chorus}
G C
Well, my Grandma was a teacher, she went to school in Bowling Green
G D
Traded in a milking cow for a Singer sewing machine
G C
Well, she called her husband "Mister," and she walked real tall in pride
G D G
She used to buy me comic books after Grandpa died
(Repeat Chorus}
