Granddaddys Gun

     E                        
It sits above the mantle, on a 
   A5
couple rusty nails,
          E                        
It aint worth a lot of money, and 
  A5
it damn sure aint for sale
      B5                        
The good lord only knows all the 
   A5
stories it could tell,
               E
Granddaddy's gun
    E                            
He bought it new out of the sears 
      A5
and robuck catalog
        E                          
And it shot a many shells over the 
 A5
back of an old bird dog
        B5                       
And it backed a burglar down when 
           A5
grandma took the safety off
                E
Granddaddy's gun.

Chorus
       A5                E
It's just an old double barrel 
twelve
      B5                     C#5
The stock is cracked and it kicks 
like hell
     A5                    E      
It wouldn't mean what it means to 
      B5
me to no one
              A5                
Cause I can still hear his voice 
         E
when I put it to my shoulder
   B5                         C#5
A guns like a woman son it's all how
 you hold her

     A5                   E       
He taught me a whole lot more than
         B5
 how to hunt
      A5                     E    
And one of these days I'll pass it
             B5
 on to my grandson

My Granddaddy's Gun


          E                      
That old man gave it to me on the 
  A5
day I turned thirteen
         E                         
With a half shot box of shells and 
   A5
a kit to keep it clean
    B5                             
I keep a picture in the case of 
   A5
that sweet old man and me
                   E
And Granddaddy's gun


Chorus
       A5                E
