Where I Grew Up chords by Kenny Chesney

Artist: Kenny Chesney
Song: Where I Grew Up


Capo on 4th fret - to match the CD

Intro:  D


D
There's still marks on the pantry door of that little house

D
Where Mama used to measure us

Bm
I'm proud to say that's my home where I was raised

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

F#m
Man, that sure was tough
G
Felt like I put on a few years

G/B
Watching Daddy wipe her tears

      G
In my little coat and tie standing in that cemetery mud

D
That's where I grew up



D
My senior year, a case of beer out on the river bank

D
Getting a head start on twenty one

G
That's the place that made me feel just like a man
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
G
Next thing I knew I was waking up upside down

G/B
Praying God just get me out

       G
Then I hit my knees beside what was left of my truck

     G
Hey, that's where I grew up
                 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

F#m
She packed all her stuff
G
The boy in me said let her go

          G/B
But the man in me said pull her close

        A
It was time to find out which one I was

         A
Standing in a doorway holding on to love
                    D
That's where I grew up oh that’s where I grew up
