D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G

D MajorD
Grandpa Charles smoked and drank whiskey
  G+G
But he died in 43
D MajorD
Nobody like him in all my kin
 A augmentedA
Untill my brother and me
D MajorD
He died in a small town so far back
      G+G
They didn't know what hit him maybe a heart attack
D MajorD
That was a drag on my grandma you know
     A augmentedA            D MajorD
She never really forgave him for that
G+G         D MajorD
Most every year on Christmas Day
  A augmentedA       D MajorD
My dad and me go down where he lay
G+G             D MajorD
I don't know what kind of man he'd be
     A augmentedA          D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G
But he'd like my brother and me
D MajorD
Grandmama married a man she found
   G+G
Even fore Grandaddy hit the ground
D MajorD
Took 45 years but what do you know
  A augmentedA
He turned that right around
D MajorD
Grandma would tell him about the family
     G+G
How they come over from Germany
D MajorD
Oma and Opa was hard folks though
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
You know how them Germans can be
G+G        D MajorD
When she died we cried and sang that day
     A augmentedA           D MajorD
With the guitars tuned to the doghouse bass
G+G         D MajorD
Nobody sings down low and sweet
  A augmentedA          D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
Not like my brother and me
D MajorD
My great grandpappy on my mother's side
    G+G
Made a whole lot of money before he died
D MajorD
He was a wildcatter and in the Klan besides
   A augmentedA
And that was a matter of pride
D MajorD
Never wondered where great grandpappy went
     G+G
He lit a cigar neath a oxygen tent
D MajorD
A augmentedA man of secrets I'll never know
    A augmentedA      D MajorD
Like a letter never sent
G+G         D MajorD
They're all livin like they should
      A augmentedA             D MajorD
But all the money in the world didn't do em no good
G+G                 D MajorD
Their daughter went and married an old hayseed
     A augmentedA         D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD  G+G
And they had my brother and me
D MajorD
What do they say about the small town
         G+G
You can take the boy out of Bandera

Not the other way around
D MajorD
I don't know but man it's true
   A augmentedA
Those bright lights will get you down
D MajorD
I'm gonna stay on the old concrete
      G+G
Cause them city girls they smell so sweet
D MajorD
I don't know what the hell they see
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
But they like my brother and me
     A augmentedA          D MajorD
But they like my brother and me
       A augmentedA                D MajorD
They like my brother a little more than they do me
         A augmentedA      D MajorD
But they like my brother and me
G+G         D MajorD
We go down to the Spur some night
  A augmentedA          D MajorD
And listen to the river neath the pale moon light
G+G                D MajorD
And tell our buddies what's it's like to be
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Just like my brother and me
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Just like my brother and me
    A augmentedA             D MajorD
Don't mess my with mt brother and me
   A augmentedA          D MajorD
Just like my brother and me
   A augmentedA          D MajorD  G+G  D MajorD   G+G  D MajorD G+G  D MajorD G+G D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Just like my brother and me
