Willie Nelson – Im My Own Grandpa (Guitar)

E
Many many years ago

B
When I was twenty three

B7
I was married to a widow

E
Who was pretty as could be

E7
This widow had a grown-up daughter

F#m
Had hair of red

F#
My father fell in love with her

B
And soon the two were wed

E
This made my dad my son-in-law

B
And changed my very life

B7
My daughter was my mother

E
'Cause she was my father's wife

E7
To complicate the matters

F#m
Even though it brought me joy

F#
I soon became the father

B
Of a bouncing baby boy

E
My little baby then became

B
A brother-in-law to dad

B7
And so became my uncle

E
Though it made me very sad

E7
For if he was my uncle

F#m
That also made him the brother

F#
Of the widow's grown-up daughter

B
Who, of course, was my step-mother

E
I'm my own grandpa

F#m             B
I'm my own grandpa

E              
It sounds funny I know

A
But it really is so

E      B     A   E
I'm my own grandpa

E
My father's wife then had a son

B
That kept them on the run

B7
And he became my grandchild

E
For he was my daughter's son

E7
My wife is now my mother's mother

F#m
And it makes me blue

F#
Because although she is my wife

B
She's my grandmother too

E
I'm my own grandpa

F#m             B
I'm my own grandpa

E              
It sounds funny I know

A
But it really is so

E      B     A   E
I'm my own grandpa

E
Now, if my wife is my grandmother

B
Then, I am her grandchild

B7
And every time I think of it

E
It nearly drives me wild

E7
For now I have become

F#m
The strangest case you ever saw

F#7
As the husband of my grandmother

B
I am my own grandpa

E
I'm my own grandpa

F#m             B
I'm my own grandpa

E              
It sounds funny I know

A
But it really is so

E      B         A
I'm my own grandpa
