[Verse 1]
[D]I m[A]ade[G] a [D]tri[A]p b[G]ack[D]
to my [G]hometown last week
For [D]my grandparent's fifty
year [A]an [Asus4]niversary[A]
It was [D]black leather wingtips, and
[G]big bouffant hair
Your [D]typical senior af[Asus4]fair[A]

[Verse 2]
They were [D]cuttin' the rug
to a [G]Glen Miller tune
When [D]someone stood up and
tapped a [A]glass with a spoon
It was [Bm]old Eddie Vicke[D]r's[E]
granddaddy's best man
And his [Em]very best friend to this [A]day
And his [Em]eyes grew misty as he
[A]raised his champagne

[Verse 3]
He said, [D]'Here's to [A]the makers
[Bm]of things built [D]to last
Like [G]church bells and [D]bridges,
and [Em]baseball on [A]grass
Like [D]Ferguson [A]tractors and [Bm]Lucchese boots
[D]My dad[G]dy's old too[D]ls I s[A]till use

[Verse 4]
The [D]pledge of allegi[A]ance,
[Bm]the stars and [D]the stripes
[G]The words in the Bib[D]le,
the [Em]sun in t[A]he sky
And [Bm]here's to [D]the twinkle
[E]in old married eye[D]s
[Em]Still there after fifty years [A]past
Here's to the [G]makers [A]of
things built [D]to [A]las[Bm]t.'[G]

[Verse 5]
We [D]live in a world now of [G]plastic and glue
Dis[D]posable honor, re[A]placeable truth
And if a [D]pot breaks, why fix it?
[G]Man, what's the use?
It [D]costs less to buy it brand [A]new

[Verse 6]
Oh, but [D]lately I've looked in
the [G]eyes of my wife
And I [D]see there what matters
the [A]most in this life
[Bm]And I have d[D]ecided I'm t[E]akin' a stand
To [Em]stay on that fifty year [A]plan
In[Em]spired by the words of a [A]very wise man

[Verse 7]
He said, [D]'Here's to [A]the makers
of [Bm]things built [D]to last
Like [G]church bells [D]and bridges,
and [Em]baseball on [A]grass
Like [D]Ferguson [A]tractors
and [Bm]Lucchese [D]boots
My [G]daddy's old [D]tools I [A]still use

[Verse 8]
The [D]pledge of alle[A]giance,
[Bm]the stars and [D]the stripes
[G]The words in the Bib[D]le, the [Em]sun in t[A]he sky
And [Bm]here's to [D]the twinkle
[E]in old married eyes
[Em]Still there after fifty years [A]past
Here's to the [G]makers [A]of thi[D]ngs
[A]built [D]to [Bm]last.[E]'
Here's to the [G]makers [A]of things built
[D]to last
