Blake Shelton,   "Granddaddy's Gun"


(intro)
Ab  Db,


(verse)
Ab 
It sits above the mantle upon a couple rusty nails
         Db
And it's worth a bunch of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
    Eb                           Bbm 
The good Lord only knows all the stories it could tell
             Ab
Granddaddy's gun


(verse)
   Ab
He bought it new out of a Sears & Roebuck catalog
       Db
And it shot a many shell over the top of an old bird dog
       Eb                                 Bbm 
And it backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off
             Ab
Granddaddy's gun



(chorus)
     Db            Ab
It's just a double barrel 12
    Eb                      Fm
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
   Db                    Ab             Eb
It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one
      Db                    Ab
I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
   Eb                           Fm
"A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her"
   Db                    Ab               Eb 
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
    Db                     Ab               Eb
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son
             Ab  Db
Granddaddy's gun


(verse)
   Ab
He handed it to me on the day I turned 13
       Db
With a half-shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean
  Eb                                 Db
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me
                  Ab
With granddaddy's gun


(chorus)
     Db            Ab
It's just a double barrel 12
    Eb                      Fm
The stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
   Db                    Ab             Eb
It wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one
      Db                    Ab
I can hear his voice when I put it to my shoulder
   Eb                           Fm
"A gun's like a woman, son it's all how you hold her"
   Db                    Ab               Eb 
He taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
    Db                     Ab               Eb
And one of these days I'll pass it on to my son
             Db   Ab  Eb, 
Granddaddy's gun


(verse-out)
          Db                       Ab
There's a long beard living on the living room wall
     Eb                    Db
That I got with a box call
                 Ab  Eb
And granddaddy's gun
          Db                   Ab
There's a shot up stop sign on 49
     Eb                                  Dd
That me and Billy Joe took out one night
                  Ab  Eb
With granddaddy's gun
             Dd   Ab  Eb,
Granddaddy's gun
   Ab
It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails
         Db
And it's worth a bunch of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
