Grandma's Feather Bed John Denver
[Verse]
[C]When I was a [F]little bitty boy
[C]Just up off-a[G7] floor
[C]We used to go down to [F]Grandma's house
[C]Every month [G7]end or [C]so
We had [C]chicken pie and [F]country ham
And h[C]omemade butter on the [G7]bread
But the [C]best darn thing about [F]Grandma's house
Was her [C]great big [G7]feather [C]bed
[Cborus]
It was [C]nine feet high and [F]six feet wide
[C]Soft as a downy [G7]chick
It was [C]made from the feathers of f[F]orty 'leven geese
Took a whole [C]bolt of [D7]cloth for the [G7]tick
It'd [C]hold eight kids, [F]four hound dogs
And a [C]piggy we stole from the [G7]shed
We didn't [C]get much sleep but we [F]had a lot of fun
On [C]Grandma's [G7]feather [C]bed
[Verse]
[C]After the supper we'd [F]sit around the fire
The [C]old folks'd spit and [G7]chew
[C]Pa would talk about the [F]farm and the war
And [C]Granny'd sing a [G7]ballad or [C]two
I'd [C]sit and listen and [F]watch the fire
Till the [C]cobwebs filled my [G7]head
Next [C]thing I knew I'd [F]wake up in the morning
In the [C]middle of the [G7]old feather [C]bed
[Cborus]
It was [C]nine feet high and [F]six feet wide
[C]Soft as a downy [G7]chick
It was [C]made from the feathers of [F]forty'leven geese
Took a [C]whole bolt of [D7]cloth for the [G7]tick
It'd [C]hold eight kids, [F]four hound dogs
And a [C]piggy we stole from the [G7]shed
We [C]didn't get much sleep but we [F]had a lot of fun
On [C]Grandma's [G7]feather [G7]bed
[Verse]
Well I [C]love my Ma, an' I l[F]ove my Pa
Love [C]Granny and Grandpa [G7]too
Been [C]fishing with my uncle, I [F]wrestled with my cousin
I [C]even kissed Aunt [G7]Lou oooh
But [C]if ever [F]had to make a choice
I [C]guess it ought to be [G7]said
That [C]I'd trade them all plus the [F]gal down the road
For [C]Grandma's [G7]feather [C]bed
[Cborus]
It was [C]nine feet high and [F]six feet wide
[C]Soft as a downy [G7]chick
It was [C]made from the feathers of [F]forty'leven geese
Took a [C]whole bolt of [D7]cloth for the [G7]tick
It'd [C]hold eight kids, [F]four hound dogs
And a [C]piggy we stole from the [G7]shed
We [C]didn't get much sleep but we [F]had a lot of fun
On [C]Grandma's [G7]feather [C]bed
