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
