You stood on that bank when I got baptized
Em7
Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine

At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn

Em7
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave
C9G
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm
C9D
Grandpa you stood so tall
GC9
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls
DEm7
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night

Five foot six to the top of your hat
Em7C9
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman

American born simple man with a southern drawl
C9DG
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa

That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest
C9G
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love
Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now

But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman
