[Verse 1]
Em            D
Hard workin', hard hands
C                             
Sweatin' like the devil with my 
  D
farmer's tan
Em                  D
My grandfather said Chop that wood
      C                          D
Don't cuss at your mama, boy you got
 to be good
Em           D
Life goes by fast take it slow
C                                 
One day you're young and the next 
D
day you're old
           Em                      
He used to tell me all this at our 
D
fishin' hole
          C                        
I used to carry all his tackle and 
    D
his fishin' pole


[Chorus]
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
G                         D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C           
The south and how it goes around 
G
here
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
G                         D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C           
The south and how it goes around 
G

[Verse]
Em                            D
My daddy wasn't there but the old 
man was
   C                         D
He taught me how to fish, he taught 
me to hunt
    Em                     D
And if I got bored he said whittle 
some wood
      C                        D
Or go take that ol' dog go get lost 
in the woods
Em                           D
I stay up all night and just sit on 
the porch
           C                    
He used to tell me stories about 
      D
when he was a boy
Em                                
He grew up down the hollar at the 
D
end of Lick Fork
     C                    D
In a little old cabin and they were 
so poor
Em                        D
He started workin' at the age of 10
   C                          D
He left school and never went back 
again
              Em                   
I'll tell ya, old boy could swing a
 D
 hammer and an axe
         C                         
And when times get tough, you'd get
     D
 the shirt off his back


[Chorus]
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
     G                    D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C           
The south and how it goes around 
G
here
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
     G                    D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C

[Verse]
Em             D
I'm older, and he's gone now
C                  D
But I never forgot what we talked 
about
Em                     D
My grandfather told me stand up 
proud
          C                      
Don't you ever start a fight, but 
       D
don't ever back down
    Em        D
No, no, and I miss him so
   C                     D
It tears up my heart, it rips my 
soul
    Em                             
Now looking down the ridge where we
 D
 used to go
      C                         
I can still hear his voice and I 
 D
know he knows


[Chorus]
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
     G                    D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C           
The south and how it goes around 
G
here
               G               C
I can tell you stories my granddaddy
 told me
     G                    D
When I was just a boy I'd sit on his
 knee
        G          C
He said Son let me tell you about
    D                C           
The south and how it goes around
