[Verse]
A7
Many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
D
I got married to this widow and was pretty as can be
G
The widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
E A7
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed
[Verse]
D A7
This made my dad my son-in-law which changed my very life
D
My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife
G
To complicate the matter, though it brought me only joy
E A7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy
[Verse]
D A7
This little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
D
And so became my uncle and it made me very sad
G
'Cause if he was my uncle then he also was the brother
E A7
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother
[Chorus]
D A7 D
And I'm my own grand-pa
G A
I'm my own grand-pa
D G Em
It's funny I know, but really it is so
A7 D
I'm my own grand-pa
{Instrumental]
D A7 D G E A7
[Chorus]
D A7 D
And I'm my own grand-pa
G A
I'm my own grand-pa
D G Em
It's funny I know, but really it is so
A7 D
I'm my own grand-pa
[Verse]
A7
My father's wife then had a son which kept us on the run
D
This became my grandchild since he was my daughter's son
G
My wife is now my father's mother and it makes me blue
E A7
Although she is my wife she is my grandmother too
[Verse]
D A7
Now if my wife is my grandmother, I am her grandchild
D
Every time I think of it, it almost sends me wild
G
Now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
E A7
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa
[Outro]
D A7 D
And I'm my own grand-pa
G A
I'm my own grand-pa
D G Em
It's funny I know, but really it is so
A7 D
I'm my own grand-pa
