Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know guitar chord

Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know

A D A E A X2

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.

Chorus2:

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.
