Joe Diffie - The Grandpa That I Know
A D A E A X2
A D A
Brand new shoes they hurt my feet
E A
This necktie is chokin’ me
D A
Cuttin’ off my air supply
E A
When I hang my head to cry
E A
When I hang my head and cry.
A D A
I see tears on daddy’s face
E A
Someone’s hummin’, Amazin’ Grace
D A
Rain beats on this graveside tent
E A
Preacher swears he did repent
E A Ab
Preacher swears he did repent.
Chorus:
E A
They’ve got him layin’ there in pinstripes
D A E
How’d they get him in that suit
D A
I guess the Lord with recognize him
E A
Without his overalls and mules
E A
They all say he looks so natural
D A E
All I see is a cold dark hole
D A
I won’t commit this day to memory
E A
That ain’t The Grandpa That I Know
E A
That ain’t The Grandpa That I Know.

B E B
Ya know no tractor never pulled his plow
F#m B
He walked and cussed, and loved that ground
E B
His hands sowed each single seed
F#m B
Then prayed for rain and fight the weeds
F#m B
Prayed for rain and fight the weeds.
B E B
He said the simple life, suits me fine
F#m B
Never dreamed beyond the county line
E B
Grandma was his boyhood bride
F#m B
He’ll be back in her arms tonight
F#m B Bb
He’ll sleep there in her arms tonight.
Chorus2:
F#m B
They’ve got him layin’ there in pinstripes

How’d they get him in that suit
E B
I guess the Lord with recognize him
F#m B
Without his overalls and mules
F#m B
They all say he looks so natural
E B F#m
All I see is a cold dark hole
E B
I won’t commit this day to memory
F#m B

F#m B
They played a pretty organ number
E B F#m
Swore it was his favorite tune
E B
I know he’d prefer a fiddle
F#m B
Playin’ Carol Country Blues.
F#m B
They all say he looks so natural
E B F#m
All I see is a cold dark hole
E B
I won’t commit this day to memory

That ain’t The Grandpa That I Know
