Brand new shoes, they hurt my feet

                  A        D
This lace collar's choking me

               G      D
Cutting off my air supply

               A       D
When I hang my head to cry

               A       D
When I hang my head to cry

               G       D
I see tears on Daddy's face

                    A      D
Someone's humming "Amazing Grace"

                   G         D
Rain beats on this graveside tent

                   A     D
Preacher says, "He did repent."

                   A     D
Preacher says, "He did repent."
PRE-CHORUS:
        A              D
They've got him laying there in pinstripes 

G                  D       A
How'd they get him in that suit?

  G                   D
I guess the lord will recognize him

                A        D
Without his overalls and mule
CHORUS:
A               D
They all say he looks so natural

    G              D         A
But all I see is a cold dark hole

  G                 D
I won't commit this day to memory

                       A      D
That ain't the Grandpa that I know

That ain't the Grandpa that I know

                G          D
A tractor never pulled his plough

                         A          D
He walked and cussed and loved that ground

                        G     D
His hand sowed each and every seed

                       A         D
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds

                       A         D
He'd pray for rain and fight the weeds

                              G        D
He said, "The simple life, it suits me fine."

                         A      D
Never dreamed beyond the county line

                G       D
Grandma was his boyhood bride

                      A      D
He'll be there in her arms tonight

                         A      D
He'll sleep there in her arms tonight

CHORUS:
     A               D
They played a pretty organ number

G                D         A
Swore it was his favourite tune

    G            D
But I know he preferred a fiddle

              A      D
Playing Carol County blues

A               D
They all say he looks so natural
