Cody Johnson - The Grandpa Song: chords

E
I wish that my Grandad was still here today au
       F#m
Cause' I'd love to here what he'd have to say
        A                           Am
About three dollars and fifty-nine cents
                 E
for a gallon of gas
          E
And I'd show him my wife and what
I've done with my life
    F#m
And see if he liked all these songs that I write
A             Am                        B
Oh, I wish I knew what he would think about the
the fact that
          C#m                           G#
If you're sixteen and pregnant, you'll get on tv,
               C#m       C#m/B            F#
but yet we're laying off school teachers fast
as can be
F#m            A                            B
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now

Chorus:
                       D               A
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A
    E
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
           D                      A
When the American farmers got to sell all the cows
             B
To keep the bank from taking the house.
       E
I wish I could write him in on my ballot for
              A   F#m
the next president
                A                       B
Cause' there's men like John Wayne, Augustus
McCrae,
          E                      A
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
               F#m        B               E
But there will never be another man like him

I'm glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star
Who thinks they have the right to go as far
As bitching about the hundred million dollars
they make a year 'Cause there's scars on my
knuckles and sweat on my brow
And I know that Grandpa, he'd sure be proud
Of my little part that I've made to our family tree
He'd probably ask me why
People like Casey Anthony can get off scot-free
And why our taxes are still killing folks just
like you and me
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now

Chorus

Yeah there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
But there will never be another man like him
