    A                              
You sent me to the shed with a haul
    B
 of tools
       A                           
Well I remember how you said that I
       D
 could take what I could use
        A            B
I got a hammer and a ratchet set
          D
A hundred tools I ain't used yet
             F#m             E    
Well they're rusty, but they work 
           D
as good as new
A    B  D   Dm E
Tools, tools


[Verse 2]
         A                        
Well I remember you as quiet as a 
D
picture
          A                        
Like that picture of the Navy 
  D
sailor grinning for the girls
        A           B
You had visited the barber
         D
You were stationed at Pearl Harbor
  F#m             E              
A year before the War became the 
D
world's


[Chorus]
    E                   C#        
And you say, "Boy, sometimes 
         F#m
you've got to get up on that ship
E                    D
Leave all you love behind."
      E                 C#
Well, Grampa, I've been everywhere
Continúa después del anuncio
    F#m          A/F#
But Fargo, North Dakota
D                         E
It ain't war, but it's a fight
A    F#m   D E
Tools, tools


[Verse 3]
        A                          
Well, I never knew you ever drew 
  D
one picture
       A
But if you want proof that I've got 
you
     D
Here running through my veins
        A                
I could show you call the 
 B
sketchbooks
        D
That I filled when I was young
    F#m         E                D
And sixty years ago you did the same


[Chorus]
    E                   C#
And you say, "Boy, just let 'em 
laugh
     F#m
When all they see is lines--
E                                
Paint yourself a picture of your 
D
life
E              C#
I believe that Swedish folks were
F#m
Born with better eyes."
D                          E
Grampa, I have always loved the sky
               A    B
I think you're right
            D     E
You gave me tools


[Bridge]
              D                    
You sent that telegraph to tell her
          A
 that you missed her
        D                       
When my daddy was a baby, oh you 
 E               F#m
gave him to the Lord
         E               C#       
And the faith you handed down has 
F#m     A      D
somehow stuck around
    D
And love has called you home again
    Dm            E
To roam again no more


[Verse 4]
    A                              
You sent me to the shed with a haul
    B
 of tools
          A                        
Well I remember how you said that I
       D
 could take what I could use
A                  B          D
Faith and Love and Hope are what I 
carried home
        F#m             E         
They're rusty but they work as 
     D
good as new
A    B  D    Dm E A
