Grandpa Was A Carpenter Chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Oh, grandpa wore his suit to dinner
Nearly every [C]day
No particular [G]reason
He just dressed that [D]way

[G]Brown necktie and a matching vest
Both [C]his wingtip shoes
He built a closet on [G]our back porch
And put [D]a penny in a burned-out fuse
[G]fuse

[Verse 3]
[C]Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and [G]banks
Chain-s[C]moked Camel Camel ci[G]garettes
And hammered nails in [D]planks
He was [G]level on the level
And shaved even every [C]door
And voted for Eisen[G]hower 'cause
[D]Lincoln won the war

[Interlude 1]
[G][C][G][D][G]

[Verse 4]
Well, he [G]used to sing me
"Blood On The Saddle"
And rock me on his [C]knee
And let me listen to [G]the radio
Before we got [D]T.V.

[Verse 5]
Well, he'd [G]drive to church on Sunday
And he'd take me with him [C]too!
Stained glass in every [G]window
Hearing [D]aids in every [G]pew

[Verse 6]
[C]Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and [G]banks
Chain-s[C]moked Camel Camel ci[G]garettes
And hammered nails in [D]planks
He was [G]level on the level
And shaved even every [C]door
He voted for Eisen[G]hower 'cause
[D]Lincoln won the war

Now [G]my grandma was a teacher
Went to school in Bowling [C]Green
Traded in a [G]milking cow

[Verse 8]
For a Singer sewing machine
[D]Well,
[G]she called her husband "Mister"
And walked real tall and [C]proud
And used to buy me [G]comic books
After [D]grandpa [G]died

[Verse 9]
[C]Grandpa was a carpenter
He built houses, stores and [G]banks
Chain-s[C]moked Camel Camel ci[G]garettes
And hammered nails in [D]planks
He was [G]level on the level
And shaved even every [C]door
And voted for [G]Eisenhower
'cause [D]Lincoln won the war
