  • Difficulty: Intermediate 💪
Key: C

Verse 1:
C                   G                 G7
Many many years ago when I was twenty three
                                 C               C7
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
     F                             C       C/B     A7
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
   D7                               G                   G7
My father fell in love with her and soon these two were wed


Verse 2:
     C                                G          G7
This made my dad my son-in-law and it changed my life
                                C              C7
My daughter was my mother cause she's father's wife
        F                         C         C/B        A7
Just to complicate the situation, though it brought me joy
  D7                          G             G7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

Verse 3:
    C                              G                 G7
And this little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
                                     C       C7
And this made him my uncle though it made me sad
      F                          C    C/B   A7
Cause if he was my uncle then he also was a brother
   D7                                    G       G7
To the widow's grown-up daughter who was my step-mother


Verse 4:
C                            G                   G7
Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run
                                  C                    C7
And he became my grandchild cause he was my daughter's son
   F                              C        C/B      A7
My wife is now my mother's mother and that makes me blue
  D7                                  G              G7
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother too


Verse 5:
    C                            G             G7
And if my wife is my grandmother then I am her grandchild
                                   C                C7
And every time I think of that, it almost drives me wild
    F                               C        C/B  A7
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
   D7                          G         G7
As husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa


Chorus:
C        G7       C   C7
Well I'm my own grandpa
F               G   G7
I'm my own grandpa
     C   F     C       C7           F         F7
That may sound funny I know, but it really is so
C      G7       F    C
I'm my own grandpa
