Artist: Kenny Chesney
Song: Where I Grew Up
Capo on 4th fret - to match the CD
Intro: G A D D
G A D
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house
G A D
Where Mama used to measure us
G A Bm
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised
Em A
But that ain't where I grew up
G
See, I gained a little on Father Time
D/F#
The summer my Granddaddy died
A
The first time I saw Mama cry
D Em F#m
Man, that sure was tough
G
Felt like I put on a few years
D D/C# G/B
Watching Daddy wipe her tears
Em F#m G
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud
A G A D
That's where I grew up
G A D
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank
G A D
Getting a head start on twenty one
G A Bm G
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
Em A
But that ain't where I grew 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 Em F#m G
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down
D D/C# G/B
Praying God just get me out
Em F#m G
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck
A G
Hey, that's where I grew up
A G A
You learn as you go, that's how you grow
G
See, 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 Em F#m
She packed all her stuff
G
The boy in me said let her go
D D/C# G/B
But the man in me said pull her close
Em F#m G A
It was time to find out which one I was
Em F#m G A
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
G A D G A D
That's where I grew up oh that’s where I grew up
