Where I Grew Up Kenny Chesney
Capo on 4th fret - to match the CD
Intro: G A D D
[G]There's still marks on the [A]pantry door of that [D]little house
[G]Where Mama [A]used to measure[D] us
[G]I'm proud to [A]say that's my home where [Bm]I was raised
[Em]But that ain't where I grew[A] up
See, I[G] gained a little on Father Time
[D/F#]The summer my Granddaddy died
The [A]first time I saw Mama cry
[D]Man, that sure was t[Em]ough[F#m]
[G]Felt like I put on a few years
[D]Watching D[D/C#]addy wip[G/B]e her tears
In my [Em]little coat and tie [F#m]standing in that [G]cemetery mud
[A]That's where I [G]grew up[A] [D]
[G]My senior year, a [A]case of beer out on the [D]river bank
[G]Getting a head [A]start on twenty [D]one
[G]That's the place that[A] made me feel just [Bm]like a ma[G]n
[Em]But that ain't where I grew [A]up
[G]See I gained a little on Father Time
[D/F#]That night I crossed that center line
[A]I bet I rolled a dozen times
[D]Next thing I knew I was [Em]waki[F#m]ng up[G] upside down
[D]Praying G[D/C#]od just ge[G/B]t me out
Then I [Em]hit my knees beside[F#m] what was left of my [G]truck
Hey, [A]that's where I grew [G]up
You learn as you [A]go,[G] that's how you gr[A]ow
See,[G] I gained a little on Father Time
[D/F#]When me and her, had our first big fight
[A]I said some things, I made her cry
[D]She packed all her st[Em]uff[F#m]
[G]The boy in me said let her go
But the ma[D]n in me s[D/C#]aid pull he[G/B]r close
It was t[Em]ime to [F#m]find out which one I [G]was[A]
Standing [Em]in a doorway [F#m]holding on to l[G]ove[A]
That's where I grew [G]up [A]oh [D]thatâ??s where[G] I [A]gre[D]w up
