• Difficulty: Beginner

🎸 Verse 1:
F# minorF#m
Granddaddy and I did toil
E MajorE
From morn to sundown hands in soil
F# minorF#m
We grew those sweet green peas
     A augmentedA
until our fingers they were raw


🎸 Verse 2:
F# minorF#m
The peas were ripe, the pods they grew
E MajorE
The sweet green peas were all we know
F# minorF#m
We picked them all with just the two
  A augmentedA
of us down in the fields

🎸 Verse 3:
F# minorF#m
Granddaddy would then grade the peas
  E MajorE
To check for those anomalies
    D MajorD
If they didn't score an A, you see
A augmentedA
he'd throw the darn pea out

🎸 Verse 4:
F# minorF#m
There was a special song he'd sing
   E MajorE
He'd sing it as he sorted through
          D MajorD
Next time you might think of him
    A augmentedA
When we sell our peas to you


🎸 Bridge:
      E MajorE
This is the top of the crop
     D MajorD           A augmentedA
And if it wasn't you would blame us
E MajorE
A augmentedA grade-A pea, you see
D MajorD          A augmentedA
We don't serve grade BB or C majorC
E MajorE
We'd never stoop down to D MajorD

🎸 Chorus:
           D MajorD
So you can taste the A-ness
          A augmentedA
You can taste the A-ness
    E MajorE
In your mouth
         A augmentedA
You can taste the A-ness
         D MajorD
You can taste the A-ness
         A augmentedA
You can taste the A-ness
E MajorE
Taste the freshness
E MajorE
Taste the greenness
E MajorE
Taste the sweetness
E MajorE
Really taste the pea-ness


🎸 Chorus:
           D MajorD
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
           A augmentedA
So you can taste the pea-ness
           E MajorE
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
           A augmentedA
So you can taste the pea-ness
           D MajorD
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
           A augmentedA
So you can taste the pea-ness
E MajorE
Taste the freshness

Taste the greenness
E MajorE
Taste the sweetness
E MajorE
Really taste the pea-ness


🎸 Verse 5:
F# minorF#m
But what of dear old Grandmama
  E MajorE
The real brains behind the farm
   F# minorF#m
While granddad had grade A augmentedA for tea
   A augmentedA
He'd fob her off with BB or C majorC


🎸 Verse 6:
  F# minorF#m
So late at night she'd sneak around
   E MajorE
She'd pick the best peas that she found
  A augmentedA
She had the sweetest peas of all
BB
She played Granddaddy for a fool (for a fool, for a fool)


🎸 Chorus:
       A augmentedA
Grandmama had her peas
A augmentedA
Grandmama had her peas
    E MajorE
In her mouth
       A augmentedA
Grandmama had her peas
       D MajorD
Grandmama had her peas
       A augmentedA    E MajorE
Grandmama had her pe-e-eas
       A augmentedA
Grandmama had her peas
