Rascal Flatts – Ellsworth (Guitar)

    D                                    A
Grandma burned the biscuits,  nearly took the house down with it,

    Cadd9                                  G
Now she's in assisted living, we all knew that day would come,

D                                 A
We knew she was too gone to drive, the day she parked on I-65,

Cadd9                             G
Found her on the shoulder cryin, she didn't know where she was,

Cadd9                      Bm
  It's like her mind just quit,

                   Em                               G
Oh but bring up grandpa it's like someone flipped a switch,

    D
A front porch light and a blue Desota,

  Em                             G
A couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,

                           D   A
you could see it all goin down,

   D
A handsome boy in army green,

   Em
A tear on his face down on a knee,

 G
A shaky voice, a diamond ring,

       Asus4            A
She'll put you in that town,

  Bm                 A                    Esus E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,

                       G          Em7        D   Em7  G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948

D                        A
She takes out his medals, a cigar box of letters,

Cadd9                       G
Sits and scatters pictures, blacks and whites of days gone by,

Cadd9                     Bm
we started losin her when she lost him,

                Em                               G
But to hear her carry on, You'd swear she's seventeen again,

 D
Football games and leaves a cracklin

 Em                               G
Walkin her home in his letter jacket,

                         D   A
You can see it all goin down,

    D
A perfect night on a front porch glider,

 Em
Sayin goodnight for the next three hours,

G
Her tired eyes go wide and bright, 

         Asus4             A
when she talks about that town,

  Bm                 A                    Esus E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,

                       G          Em7        D   Em7   G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948

           D
While the world is fading all around her,

Em
Sharin' a sundae at the counter,

G
He's goin on and on about her, 

   Asus4                     A
Bet she's right there right now,

  Bm                 A                    Esus E
