Granddaddys Gun

Ab  Db,


(verse)
Ab
It sits above the mantle upon a 
couple rusty nails
         Db
And it's worth a bunch of money but 
it damn sure ain't for sale
    Eb                           
The good Lord only knows all the 
Bbm
stories it could tell
             Ab
Granddaddy's gun


(verse)
   Ab
He bought it new out of a Sears & 
Roebuck catalog
       Db
And it shot a many shell over the 
top of an old bird dog
       Eb                        
And it backed a burglar down when 
         Bbm
grandma took the safety off
             Ab
Granddaddy's gun



(chorus)
     Db            Ab
It's just a double barrel 12
    Eb                      Fm
The stock is cracked and it kicks 
like hell
   Db                    Ab       
It wouldn't mean what it means to 
      Eb
me to no one

      Db                    Ab
I can hear his voice when I put it 
to my shoulder
   Eb                           Fm
"A gun's like a woman, son it's all 
how you hold her"
   Db                    Ab       
He taught me a whole lot more than
        Eb
 how to hunt
    Db                     Ab     
And one of these days I'll pass it
          Eb
 on to my son
             Ab  Db
Granddaddy's gun


(verse)
   Ab
He handed it to me on the day I 
turned 13
       Db
With a half-shot box of shells and a
 kit to keep it clean
  Eb                               
I keep a picture in the case of 
  Db
that sweet old man and me
                  Ab
With granddaddy's gun


(chorus)
     Db            Ab
It's just a double barrel 12
    Eb                      Fm
The stock is cracked and it kicks 
like hell
   Db                    Ab       
It wouldn't mean what it means to 
      Eb
me to no one
      Db                    Ab
I can hear his voice when I put it 
to my shoulder

Granddaddy's gun


(verse-out)
          Db                       
There's a long beard living on the 
Ab
living room wall
     Eb                    Db
That I got with a box call
                 Ab  Eb
And granddaddy's gun
          Db                   Ab
There's a shot up stop sign on 49
     Eb                             
     Dd
That me and Billy Joe took out one 
night
                  Ab  Eb
With granddaddy's gun
             Dd   Ab  Eb,
Granddaddy's gun
   Ab
It sits above the mantle on a couple
 rusty nails
         Db
And it's worth a bunch of money but 
it damn sure ain't for sale
