Granddaddy's Gun(Cavaco chords)

	        

Intro: Ab  Db 


Verse:

Ab  
It sits above the mantle upon a couple rusty nails 
         Db 
And it's worth a bunch of money but it damn sure ain't for sale 
    Eb                           Bbm  
The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell 
             Ab 
Granddaddy's gun 


verse:
 
   Ab 
He bought it new out of a Sears & Roebuck catalog 
       Db 
And it shot a many shell over the top of an old bird dog 
       Eb                                 Bbm  
And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off 
             Ab 
Granddaddy's gun 




     Db            Ab 
It's just a double barrel 12 
    Eb                      Fm 
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell 
   Db                    Ab             Eb 
It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one 
      Db                    Ab 
I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder 
   Eb                           Fm 
'A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her' 
   Db                    Ab               Eb  
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt 
    Db                     Ab               Eb 
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son 
             Ab  Db 
Granddaddy's gun 



verse:
 
   Ab 
He handed it to me on the day I turned 13 
       Db 
With a half-shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean 
  Eb                                 Db 
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me 
                  Ab 
With granddaddy's gun 



     Db            Ab 
It's just a double barrel 12 
    Eb                      Fm 
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell 
   Db                    Ab             Eb 
It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one 
      Db                    Ab 
I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder 
   Eb                           Fm 
'A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her' 
   Db                    Ab               Eb  
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt 
    Db                     Ab               Eb 
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son 
             Db   Ab  Eb,  
Granddaddy's gun 


verse-out:
 
          Db                       Ab 
There's a long beard living on the living room wall 
     Eb                    Db 
That I got with a box call 
                 Ab  Eb 
And granddaddy's gun 
          Db                   Ab 
There's a shot up stop sign on 49 
     Eb                                  Dd
