D G A D
[Verse 1]
D G When I was a little bitty boy D A Just up off the floor, D G We used to go down to Grandma's house D A D Every month end or so D G We'd have chicken pie, country ham D A Home-made butter on the bread D G But the best darn thing about Grandma's house A D Was the great big feather bed
[Chorus]
D It was nine feet high, and six feet wide G D And soft as a downy chick D It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese E7 A Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick D It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs G D And a piggy we stole from the shed D G We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun A D On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 2]
D G After supper we'd sit around the fire D A And the old folks would spit and chew D G Pa would talk about the farm and the war D A D And Granny'd sing a ballad or two D G I'd sit and listen and watch the fire D A Till the cobwebs filled my head D G Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin' A D In the middle of the old feather bed
[Chorus]
D It was nine feet high, and six feet wide G D And soft as a downy chick D It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese E7 A Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick D It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs G D And a piggy we stole from the shed D G We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun A D On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 3]
D G Well, I love my ma, I love my pa D A I love Granny and Grandpa too D G I've been fishing with my uncles, I wrestled with my cousin A D I even kissed Aunt Lou (ew!) D G But if I ever had to make a choice D A I guess it oughta be said D G That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road A D For Grandma's feather bed D G I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ... (Well, {mumbling} not the gal down the road)
[Chorus]
D It was nine feet high, and six feet wide G D And soft as a downy chick D It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese E7 A Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick D And it'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs G D And a piggy we stole from the shed D G We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun A D On Grandma's feather bed
