Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]Grandpa sits by the back door
and [D]he can't see any more
He [C]lost his sight in sixty -four
and we lead him like a horse to wa[Em]ter
But in the evening
when the shadows get long [C]a -sitt[D]in',
I'm playin' my favorite songs
[C]Listens for a while,
but it doesn't take long
And he's a [Em]-hollerin'
He says, [G]play me a song
[D]About rifles and pistols
[G]Winchester, Smiths, and Wessons
[D].45s and Enfields
[C]Settle them up and ride
them down
There's a [Em]darkness out on
the edge of town
[D]Preacher at the gravesite
with the [C]Bible
[Em]Play me a [D]song
About pistols [Em]and rifles
Grandpa was born in 1904
And he [D]never fought in any wars
Too [C]old for the second
Too young for the first he [Em]told
But he loves to hear them
cowboy song[C]s,
[Em]the [D]ones that just go on and on.
He [C]listens till his head would nod
and he's [Em]in snow.
And he says, [G]play me a song
about [D]rifles and [G]pistols.
Winchester, Smiths, and Wessons,
[D]40 ,000 infants.
[C]Saddle them up and ride them down.
There's a [Em]darkness out on
the edge of town.
[D]Creature at the gravesite with a [C]Bible
[Em]Play me a [D]song
Without pistols and [Em]rifles
[D][C][Em]
[D][C][Em]
Oh, last week, the week before last
I led [D]my old grandpa down the path
[C]Out where the prairie grasses
grow for [Em]miles
I showed him where to
point and how to [C]stand
Put an [D]old Henry rifle in his hand
You [C]should have heard him laughing
when he got [Em]it fired
He says [G]play me a song
about [D]rifles and pistols
[G]Winchester, Smiths and Wessons,
[D].45s and Enfields
[C]Saddle them up and
ride them down
There's a [Em]darkness out on
the edge of town
[D]Preacher at the gravesite
with the [C]Bible
[Em]Play me a [D]song
About pistols and [Em]rifles
Grandpa sits by the back door
[D]He can't see anymore
He [C]lost his sight in sixty -four
They lead him like a horse to [Em]water
You
