Im My Own Grandpa  Silverstein Shel

I was married to a widow who was pr[C]etty as ca[C7]n be
[F]This widow had a grown-[Fm]up daughter who h[C]ad hair of red     [A7]
[D]My father fell in love with her and soon they[G] too were wed


This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother cause she was my fathers wife
To complicate the matter even though it brought be joy
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

My little baby then became a brother in law to Dad
And so became my uncle, though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle, then that also made him brother
Of the widows grown up daughter who was also my stepmother

[G](pause for effect..........
I mean give the audience a break that is a lot to soak up!)

Fathers wife then had a son who kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild, for he was my daughters son
My wife is now my mothers mother and it makes me blue
Because altho' she is my wife, shes my grandmother too

Now if my wife is my grandmother, then Im her grandchild
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the strangest case I ever saw
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa

[C] I'm my o[G]wn grand[C]pa, [C7]
[F]I'm my own [C]grandpa.
[F]It sounds silly, I[Fm] know, but it rea[C]lly is [A7]so, oh
[C]I'm my own[G7] grandpa. [C]

Thanks Pa,
