Patty Loveless - The Grandpa That I Know


CAPO: 4th Fret


INTRO: D MajorD

           G+G    D MajorD
Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet
         A augmentedA    D MajorD
This lace collar's choking me
        G+G   D MajorD
Cutting off my air supply
        A augmentedA    D MajorD
When I hang my head to cry
        A augmentedA    D MajorD
When I hang my head to cry

        G+G    D MajorD
I see tears on Daddy's face
          A augmentedA   D MajorD
Someone's humming "Amazing Grace"
          G+G     D MajorD
Rain beats on this graveside tent
          A augmentedA   D MajorD
Preacher says, "He did repent."
          A augmentedA   D MajorD
Preacher says, "He did repent."


PRE-CHORUS:
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
They've got him laying there in pinstripes
G+G         D MajorD    A augmentedA
How'd they get him in that suit?
 G+G          D MajorD
I guess the lord will recognize him
        A augmentedA    D MajorD
Without his overalls and mule


CHORUS:
A augmentedA        D MajorD
They all say he looks so natural
  G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA
But all I see is a cold dark hole
 G+G         D MajorD
I won't commit this day to memory
            A augmentedA   D MajorD
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
            A augmentedA   D MajorD    G+G D MajorD  A augmentedA D MajorD
That ain't the Grandpa that I know

        G+G     D MajorD
A augmentedA tractor never pulled his plough
             A augmentedA     D MajorD
He walked and cussed and loved that ground
            G+G   D MajorD
His hand sowed each and every seed
            A augmentedA     D MajorD
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds
            A augmentedA     D MajorD
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds


               G+G    D MajorD
He said, "The simple life, it suits me fine."
             A augmentedA   D MajorD
Never dreamed beyond the county line
        G+G    D MajorD
Grandma was his boyhood bride
           A augmentedA   D MajorD
He'll be there in her arms tonight
             A augmentedA   D MajorD
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight


PRE-CHORUS:
    A augmentedA       D MajorD
They've got him laying there in pinstripes
G+G         D MajorD    A augmentedA
How'd they get him in that suit?
 G+G          D MajorD
I guess the lord will recognize him
        A augmentedA    D MajorD
Without his overalls and mule


CHORUS:
A augmentedA        D MajorD
They all say he looks so natural
  G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA
But all I see is a cold dark hole
 G+G         D MajorD
I won't commit this day to memory
            A augmentedA   D MajorD
That ain't the Grandpa that I know


CHORUS:
   A augmentedA        D MajorD
They played a pretty organ number
G+G        D MajorD     A augmentedA
Swore it was his favourite tune
  G+G      D MajorD
But I know he preferred a fiddle
       A augmentedA   D MajorD
Playing Carol County blues


CHORUS:
A augmentedA        D MajorD
They all say he looks so natural
  G+G       D MajorD     A augmentedA
But all I see is a cold dark hole
 G+G         D MajorD
I won't commit this day to memory
            A augmentedA   D MajorD
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
            A augmentedA   D MajorD
That ain't the Grandpa that I know
