Song: Grandpa
Chorded: Keith D.
G
You stood on that bank when I got baptized
Em
Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine
Cadd9G
At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn
G
I could hear you cheering when we won state
Em
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave
Cadd9G
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm
Chorus:
Cadd9D
Grandpa you stood so tall
GCadd9
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls
DEm
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Cadd9D
Five foot six to the top of your hat
EmCadd9
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman
DEm
American born simple man with a southern drawl
Cadd9DG
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa
GDGG
You still swear Roosevelt was the best
Em
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest
Cadd9G
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love
Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now
Em
But i know where to go when i need to slow down
Cadd9
And when I walk up on your front porch
DG
It's just like I'm still young
Chorus:
Cadd9D
Grandpa you stood so tall
EmCadd9
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls
DEm
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night
Cadd9D
Five foot six to the top of your hat
EmCadd9
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman
DEm
American born simple man with a southern drawl
Cadd9DG
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa
Cadd9DEmCadd9
Yeah American born a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl
DG
Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the talk Grandpa
