Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know
[Intro]
A D A E A X2
[Verse]
A D A
Brand new shoes they hurt my feet
E A
This necktie is chokin? me
D A
Cuttin? off my air supply
E A
When I hang my head to cry
E A
When I hang my head and cry.
A D A
I see tears on daddy?s face
E A
Someone?s hummin?, Amazin? Grace
D A
Rain beats on this graveside tent
E A
Preacher swears he did repent
E A Ab
Preacher swears he did repent.
[Chorus]
E A
They?ve got him layin? there in pinstripes
D A E
How?d they get him in that suit
D A
I guess the Lord with recognize him
E A
Without his overalls and mules
E A
They all say he looks so natural
D A E
All I see is a cold dark hole
D A
I won?t commit this day to memory
E A
That ain?t The Grandpa That I Know
E A
That ain?t The Grandpa That I Know.
B E B F#m B X2
B E B
Ya know no tractor never pulled his plow
F#m B
He walked and cussed, and loved that ground
E B
His hands sowed each single seed
F#m B
Then prayed for rain and fight the weeds
F#m B
Prayed for rain and fight the weeds.
B E B
He said the simple life, suits me fine
F#m B
Never dreamed beyond the county line
E B
Grandma was his boyhood bride
F#m B
He?ll be back in her arms tonight
F#m B Bb
He?ll sleep there in her arms tonight.
[Chorus 2]
F#m B
They?ve got him layin? there in pinstripes
E B F#m
How?d they get him in that suit
E B
I guess the Lord with recognize him
F#m B
Without his overalls and mules
F#m B
They all say he looks so natural
E B F#m
All I see is a cold dark hole
E B
I won?t commit this day to memory
F#m B
That ain?t The Grandpa That I Know.
F#m B
They played a pretty organ number
E B F#m
Swore it was his favorite tune
E B
I know he?d prefer a fiddle
F#m B
Playin? Carol Country Blues.
F#m B
They all say he looks so natural
E B F#m
All I see is a cold dark hole
E B
I won?t commit this day to memory
F#m B
That ain?t The Grandpa That I Know
F#m B
That ain?t The Grandpa That I Know.
