Joes Granddaddys Pea Song chords by Alex Horne

• Difficulty: Beginner 👶

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



🎸 Verse 2:
F#m
The peas were ripe, the pods they grew
E

The sweet green peas were all we know
F#m
We picked them all with just the two
   A
of us down in the fields

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

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


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


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


🎸 Chorus:
                      D
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
                     A
So you can taste the pea-ness
                     E
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
                     A
So you can taste the pea-ness
                      D
Granddaddy checks the A-ness
                     A
So you can taste the pea-ness
E
Taste the freshness
E
Taste the greenness
E
Taste the sweetness
E
Really taste the pea-ness


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


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


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