{ci: Recorded Key of B - Capo on 4}
Oh, Gr[G]andpa wore his suit to dinner nearly every d[C]ay
No particular re[G]ason, he just dressed that w[D]ay
Br[G]own necktie with a matching vest and both his wingtip s[C]hoes
He built a closet on o[G]ur back porch and put a pe[D]nny in a burned-out f[G]use
G[C]randpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and ba[G]nks
Ch[C]ain-smoked Camel ci[G]garettes and hammered nails in pl[D]anks
He was le[G]vel on the level, he shaved even every d[C]oor
And voted for Eisenh[G]ower, 'cause L[D]incoln won the w[G]ar
{ci:Instrumental}
[C] [D] [G]
[G]Well, he used to sing me "Blood on the Saddle" and rock me on his k[C]nee
And let me listen to the ra[G]dio before we got [D]TV
Well, he'd d[G]rive to church on Sunday and he'd take me with him t[C]oo
Stained glass in every wi[G]ndow, hearing a[D]ids in every p[G]ew
G[C]randpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and ba[G]nks
Ch[C]ain-smoked Camel ci[G]garettes and hammered nails in pl[D]anks
He was le[G]vel on the level, he shaved even every d[C]oor
And voted for Eisenh[G]ower, 'cause L[D]incoln won the w[G]ar
[G]Well, my Grandma was a teacher, she went to school in Bowling Gr[C]een
draded in a mi[G]lking cow for a Singer sewing mac[D]hine
Well, she ca[G]lled her husband "Mister," and she walked real tall in p[C]ride
She used to buy me co[G]mic books a[D]fter Grandpa d[G]ied
G[C]randpa was a carpenter, he built houses, stores and ba[G]nks
Ch[C]ain-smoked Camel ci[G]garettes and hammered nails in pl[D]anks
He was le[G]vel on the level, he shaved even every d[C]oor
And voted for Eisenh[G]ower, 'cause L[D]incoln won the w[G]ar
