Granddaddy's Gun Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][F]

[Verse 1]
It [C]sits above the mantel
on a couple rusty nails
It ain't [F]worth a lot of money
And it damn sure ain't for sale
The [G]good Lord only knows
all the [F]stories it could tell
My Granddaddy's [C]gun

[Verse 2]
He [C]bought it new out of the Sears
and Robuck catalog
And it [F]shot a many a shells over
the back of an old bird dog
It [G]backed a burglar down
when grandma [F]took the safety off
Granddaddy's [C]gun

[Chorus 1]
It's [F]just an old double [C]barrel twelve
The [G]stock is cracked and it [Am]kick's like hell
It [F]wouldn't mean what it [C]means
to me, to [G]no one
I can [F]still hear his voice when I
[C]put it to my shoulder
A [G]gun's like a woman son
it's [Am]all how you hold her
He [F]taught me a whole lot [C]more
than how to [G]hunt
And [F]one of these days
I'll [C]pass it on to my [G]grandson
My Granddaddy's [C]gun[F]

[Verse 3]
He [C]handed it to me
on the day I turned thirteen
With a [F]half shot box of shells
and a kit to keep it clean
I [G]keep a picture in the case
of that [F]sweet old man and me
Granddaddy's [C]gun

[Chorus 2]
It's [F]just an old double [C]barrel twelve
The [G]stock is cracked and it [Am]kick's like hell
It [F]wouldn't mean what it [C]means
to me, to [G]no one
I can [F]still hear his voice when I
[C]put it to my shoulder
A [G]gun's like a woman son
it's [Am]all how you hold her
He [F]taught me a whole lot [C]more
than how to [G]hunt
And [F]one of these days
I'll [C]pass it on to my [G]grandson

[Solo 1]
My Granddaddy's gun
[F][C][G]
[F][C][G]

[Bridge 1]
There's a [F]long beard hanging
on the [C]livin' room wall
That [G]I got with a box call
[F]and Granddaddy's [C]gun[G]
There's a [F]shot up sign out there on [C]forty nine
That [G]me and Billy Joe shot up one night
[F]With Granddaddy's [C]gun[G]
[F][C][G]

[Outro 1]
It [C]sits above the mantel
on a couple rusty nails
It ain't [F]worth a lot of money
And it damn sure ain't for sale
