The Grandpa That I Know Joe Diffie
Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know
A D A E A X2
[A]Brand new shoes they [D]hurt my [A]feet
This necktie is [E]chokin’ [A]me
Cuttin’ off my [D]air sup[A]ply
When I hang my [E]head to [A]cry
When I hang my [E]head and [A]cry.
[A]I see tears on [D]daddy’s [A]face
Someone’s hummin’, [E]Amazin’ [A]Grace
Rain beats on this [D]graveside [A]tent
Preacher swears he [E]did re[A]pent
Preacher swears he [E]did re[A]pent.[Ab]
Chorus:
They’ve [E]got him layin’ [A]there in pinstripes
[D]How’d they get him [A]in that [E]suit
I [D]guess the Lord with [A]recognize him
Without his over[E]alls and [A]mules
[E]They all say he [A]looks so natural
[D]All I see is a [A]cold dark [E]hole
I [D]won’t commit this [A]day to memory
That ain’t The Grandpa [E]That I [A]Know
That ain’t The Grandpa [E]That I [A]Know.
B E B F#m B X2
Ya know [B]no tractor never [E]pulled his [B]plow
He walked and cussed, and [F#m]loved that [B]ground
His hands sowed each [E]single [B]seed
Then prayed for rain and [F#m]fight the [B]weeds
Prayed for rain and [F#m]fight the [B]weeds.
He said the [B]simple life, [E]suits me [B]fine
Never dreamed beyond the [F#m]county [B]line
Grandma was his [E]boyhood [B]bride
He’ll be back in her [F#m]arms to[B]night
He’ll sleep there in her [F#m]arms to[B]night.[Bb]
Chorus2:
They’ve [F#m]got him layin’ [B]there in pinstripes
[E]How’d they get him [B]in that [F#m]suit
I [E]guess the Lord with [B]recognize him
Without his over[F#m]alls and [B]mules
[F#m]They all say he [B]looks so natural
[E]All I see is a [B]cold dark [F#m]hole
I [E]won’t commit this [B]day to memory
That ain’t The Grandpa [F#m]That I [B]Know.
They [F#m]played a pretty [B]organ number
[E]Swore it was his [B]favorite [F#m]tune
[E]I know he’d pre[B]fer a fiddle
Playin’ Carol [F#m]Country [B]Blues.
[F#m]They all say he [B]looks so natural
[E]All I see is a [B]cold dark [F#m]hole
I [E]won’t commit this [B]day to memory
That ain’t The Grandpa [F#m]That I [B]Know
That ain’t The Grandpa [F#m]That I [B]Know.
