The Grandpa That I Know(Chords)

	        



Intro: D 

                      G       D 
Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet 
                  A        D 
This lace collar's choking me 
               G      D 
Cutting off my air supply 
               A       D 
When I hang my head to cry 
               A       D 
When I hang my head to cry 


               G       D 
I see tears on Daddy's face 
                    A      D 
Someone's humming 'Amazing Grace' 
                   G         D 
Rain beats on this graveside tent 
                   A     D 
Preacher says, 'He did repent.' 
                   A     D 
Preacher says, 'He did repent.' 


Pre-Chorus 
        A              D 
They've got him laying there in pinstripes  
G                  D       A 
How'd they get him in that suit? 
  G                   D 
I guess the lord will recognize him 
                A        D 
Without his overalls and mule 


A               D 
They all say he looks so natural 
    G              D         A 
But all I see is a cold dark hole 
  G                 D 
I won't commit this day to memory 
                       A      D 
That ain't the Grandpa that I know 
                       A      D       G D    A D 
That ain't the Grandpa that I know 



                G          D 
A tractor never pulled his plough 
                         A          D 
He walked and cussed and loved that ground 
                        G     D 
His hand sowed each and every seed 
                       A         D 
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds 
                       A         D 
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds 


                              G        D 
He said, 'The simple life, it suits me fine.' 
                         A      D 
Never dreamed beyond the county line 
                G       D 
Grandma was his boyhood bride 
                      A      D 
He'll be there in her arms tonight 
                         A      D 
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight 


Pre-Chorus 
        A              D 
They've got him laying there in pinstripes  
G                  D       A 
How'd they get him in that suit? 
  G                   D 
I guess the lord will recognize him 
                A        D 
Without his overalls and mule 


A               D 
They all say he looks so natural 
    G              D         A 
But all I see is a cold dark hole 
  G                 D 
I won't commit this day to memory 
                       A      D 
That ain't the Grandpa that I know 

     A               D 
They played a pretty organ number 
G                D         A 
Swore it was his favourite tune 
    G            D 
But I know he preferred a fiddle 
              A      D 
Playing Carol County blues 
  

A               D 
They all say he looks so natural 
    G              D         A 
But all I see is a cold dark hole 
  G                 D 
I won't commit this day to memory 
                       A      D 
That ain't the Grandpa that I know 
                       A      D 
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
