Verse 1:
G
Grandpa's at it again
Em                                    G
Woke me up with the sound of chopping wood behind the shed
Em
Choppin' and a-cussin' like a butcher with Tourettes
D                          Em
Don't know if he's been to bed yet
D                          Em
Lord knows if he's been to bed yet

G
Grandma's fixin' her hair
Em                                     G
Pays no mind to the noise outside just sits in her chair
Em
Sturdy and grey like a grizzly old bear
D                 Em
Hoping today he'd work himself to death
D                      Em
Hoping that today he'd work himself to death

Chorus:
Em         G
Splintered hands
G                 D
How they run with blood
D             Am
Drive the axe down so hard
Am               C
His heart on the chopping block
C          G
Splintered hands
G                  D
Drive the axe down hard
D                 Am
Through all those past mistakes
Am           C
And all them sour grapes
C          G
Splintered hands

Solo:
G  Em  G  Em

Verse 2:
G
Grandpa's in a home
Em
It's all for the best cause he couldn't cope alone
G
Found him in the shed
Em
Talking in the dark like Grandma was there
D                        Em
Didn't have the heart to tell him that she's dead
D                       Em
Never have the heart to tell him that she's dead

G
Winter's coming along
Em
Grandpa's worried the wood's running low
     G
So I tell him there's plenty more
Em
The thought seems to warm his tired old bones
D                  Em
Can't have grandma sleeping in the cold, he says
D                  Em
Can't have grandma sleeping in the cold

Chorus:
Em         G
Splintered hands
G                 D
How they run with blood
D             Am
Drive the axe down so hard
Am               C
His heart on the chopping block
C          G
Splintered hands
G                  D
Drive the axe down hard
D                 Am
Through all those past mistakes
Am           C
And all them sour grapes
C          G
Splintered hands

Solo:
G  D  Am  C  G  D  Am  C

Verse 3:
G
Grandpa's dead and gone
  Em
I only went back to the house once more
         G
Took the axe from the wall
    Em
The handle was rotten and the blade was gone
D                       Em
Threw it in the well, I heat my house with coal
D                       Em
Threw it in the well, I heat my house with coal

Outro:
G  D  Am  C  G  D  Am  C  G
