Grandma's Feather Bed Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
[D]When I was a [G]little bitty boy
[D]just up off the [A]floor
[D]We used to go down to [G]grandma's house
[A]e very month end or s[D]o
We'd have [D]chicken pie, [G]country ham
[D]Homemade butter on the [A]bread
But the [D]best darn thing
about [G]grandma's house
Was the [A]great big feather [D]bed

[Chorus 1]
It was [D]nine feet high and six feet wide
And [G]soft as a downy [D]chick
It was made from the feathers of
forty 'leven geese
Took a [E]whole bolt of cloth for the [A]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids and four hound dogs
And a [G]piggy we stole from the [D]shed
We didn't get much sleep
but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]grandma's feather [D]bed

[Verse 2]
[D]After supper we'd [G]sit around the fire,
the [D]old folks'd spit and [A]chew
[D]Pa would talk about the [G]farm and the war
And [A]granny'd sing a ballad or [D]two
And I'd [D]sit and listen and [G]watch the fire
till the [D]cobwebs filled my [A]head
Next [D]thing I'd know
I'd [G]wake up in the morning
In the [A]middle of the old feather [D]bed

[Chorus 2]
It was [D]nine feet high and six feet wide
And [G]soft as a downy [D]chick
It was made from the feathers of
forty 'leven geese
Took a [E]whole bolt of cloth for the [A]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids and four hound dogs
And a [G]piggy we stole from the [D]shed
We didn't get much sleep
but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]grandma's feather [D]bed
[D][G][A][D]

[Verse 3]
Well, I [D]love my ma
and I [G]love my pa,
I love [D]granny and grandpa [A]too
I've been [D]fishin' with my uncles,
I [G]wrestled with my cousin
I [A]even kissed Aunt [D]Lou, ew!
But [D]if I ever [G]had to make a choice
I [D]guess it oughta be [A]said
That I'd [D]trade them all
plus the [G]gal down the road
For [A]grandma's feather [D]bed
I'd [D]trade them all plus the [G]gal down the road

[Chorus 3]
It was [D]nine feet high and six feet wide
And [G]soft as a downy [D]chick
It was made from the feathers of
forty 'leven geese
Took a [E]whole bolt of cloth for the [A]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids and four hound dogs
And a [G]piggy we stole from the [D]shed
We didn't get much sleep
but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]grandma's feather [D]bed
We didn't get much sleep
but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]grandma's feather [D]bed

[Outro 1]
