G
You stood on that bank when I got baptized 
     Em7
Gave me a thirty thirty when I turned nine 
   C9                                     G
At sixteen you caught me drinking out in the barn 
G
I could hear you cheering when we won state 
    Em7
And you held my hand at Grandma's grave 
    C9                                      G
And I'll always be thankful you never sold the farm 
 
C9        D
Grandpa you stood so tall 
G                         C9
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls 
                                D          Em7
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night 
C9                D
Five foot six to the top of your hat 
             Em7                                   C9
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman 
                     D                   Em7
American born simple man with a southern drawl 
             C9              D             G
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa 
 
( G  D  G ) 

G
You still swear Roosevelt was the best 
       Em7
That a home grown tomato tastes better than the rest 
    C9                                      G
And fifty years goes too fast with a woman you love 
 
Well this life I've chose is gettin' busy now
      Em7
But i know where to go when i need to slow down 
         C9
And when I walk up on your front porch 
          D              G
It's just like I'm still young 

C9                D
Grandpa you stood so tall 
Em7                        C9
Chewed that Red Man, wore overalls 
                                D                   Em7
You were the same man on Sunday morning as Saturday night 
C9                D
Five foot six to the top of your hat 
             Em7                                   C9
But when you talked bout the war thought you were Superman 
                     D                    Em7
American born simple man with a southern drawl 
             C9              D             G
You walk the walk, you talk the talk, Grandpa 
     C9           D                       Em7            C9
Yeah American born a dirt road man with that slow southern drawl 
                                          D            G
Now keep walkin' the walk and talkin' the talk Grandpa
