D MajorD              A augmentedA
Grandma burned the biscuits, nearly took the house down with it,
Cadd9Cadd9             G+G
Now she's in assisted living, we all knew that day would come,

D MajorD                 A augmentedA
We knew she was too gone to drive, the day she parked on I-65,
Cadd9Cadd9               G+G
Found her on the shoulder cryin, she didn't know where she was,


Cadd9Cadd9           B minorBm
 It's like her mind just quit,
          E minorEm                G+G
Oh but bring up grandpa it's like someone flipped a switch,


  D MajorD
A augmentedA front porch light and a blue Desota,
 E minorEm               G+G
A augmentedA couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,
              D MajorD  A augmentedA
you could see it all goin down,
  D MajorD
A augmentedA handsome boy in army green,
  E minorEm
A augmentedA tear on his face down on a knee,
 G+G
A augmentedA shaky voice, a diamond ring,
    Asus4Asus4      A augmentedA
She'll put you in that town,
 B minorBm         A augmentedA          Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
            G+G     E minor 7Em7    D MajorD  E minor 7Em7 G+G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948


D MajorD            A augmentedA
She takes out his medals, a cigar box of letters,
Cadd9Cadd9            G+G
Sits and scatters pictures, blacks and whites of days gone by,

Cadd9Cadd9           B minorBm
we started losin her when she lost him,
        E minorEm                G+G
But to hear her carry on, You'd swear she's seventeen again,

 D MajorD
Football games and leaves a cracklin
 E minorEm                G+G
Walkin her home in his letter jacket,
             D MajorD  A augmentedA
You can see it all goin down,
  D MajorD
A augmentedA perfect night on a front porch glider,
 E minorEm
Sayin goodnight for the next three hours,
G+G
Her tired eyes go wide and bright,
     Asus4Asus4       A augmentedA
when she talks about that town,
 B minorBm         A augmentedA          Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
            G+G     E minor 7Em7    D MajorD  E minor 7Em7  G+G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948

      D MajorD
While the world is fading all around her,
E minorEm
Sharin' a sundae at the counter,
G+G
He's goin on and on about her,
  Asus4Asus4           A augmentedA
Bet she's right there right now,
 B minorBm         A augmentedA          Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
            G+G     E minor 7Em7    D MajorD  E minor 7Em7  G+G  D MajorD
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
