G                             A
Never hit your Grandma with a shovel
   D                             G
It makes a bad impression on her mind (On her mind)
     B7
In a better way impart
        Em
All the love things in your heart
         A                          D
For it's possible she may retort in kind (Retort in kind)
  G                                 A
Remember Granny's known you since a baby
    B7                                Em
And even though in fun, could prove a shock (Prove a shock)
   E7
So respect her aged head,
         Am           C
Stay the shovel and instead
           G         E7        A7      D7     G
Paste your dear old, sweet old Grandma with a rock.

[Verse]

  G                 A
A Grandma, with her grandchild,
    D              G
Sat by the kitchen door
     G                                     D
Of a quaint old fashioned house built long ago
    G                A
The little lass grew restless
   D              G
As on the evening wore
        A                               D
For she felt the time was fleeting very slow
   B7
"I must do something" cried the girl,
    Em
And seized the nearby spade
      A                D
But a passing stranger blocked her swing
       E                   D
Whilst these wise words he said

[Chorus]

G                             A
Never hit your Grandma with a shovel
   D                             G
It makes a bad impression on her mind (On her mind)
     B
In a better way impart
        Em
All the love things in your heart
         A                          D
For it's possible she may retort in kind (Retort in kind)
  G                                 A
Remember Granny's known you since a baby
    B7                                Em
And even though in fun, could prove a shock (Prove a shock)
   E7
So respect her aged head,
         Am           C
Stay the shovel and instead
           G         E7        A7      D7     G      D7 Db7   C7  G
Paste your dear old, sweet old Grandma with a rock. (A  Great Big Rock)
