[Intro] | D | D | G | D | | D | A | D | D | [Verse]
D                          G           D
 Front porch sitting in an old rocking chair

G                             D
 The sun is hot in the Texas sky

D               G                  D
 Garden growing clothes out on the line

G                           D
 Dusty road when a car goes by

D                 G          D
 Story telling of days long ago

G                              D
 And the only place she'd ever been

D                    G               D
 Singing softly This World Is Not My Home

G                       D    A  G  D
 Memories take me back again
[Chorus]
           G                        D
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old

         D                             A
When she guided me as I watched life unfold

   D                              G              D
Anything we didn't have we didn't really need to hold

           D         A              D
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
[Instrumental] | D | D | G | D | | D | A | D | D | [Verse 2]
D                        G          D
 She'd throw a party and all of her friends

G                                 D
 Would gather around the quilting frames

D                           G            D
 They'd always call out for me to come inside

G                                 D
 And give me nickels and dimes to sing

D                       G              D
 It makes me happy that I can still go back

G                   D
 My memories are so clear

D                    G             D
 Of how It used to be when I never dreamed

G                          D    A  G  D
 Of ever looking back from here
[Chorus]
           G                        D
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old

         D                             A
When she guided me as I watched life unfold

   D                              G              D
Anything we didn't have we didn't really need to hold

           D         A              D
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
[Outro]
           D         A              D   A   D
When I was young and Grandma wasn't old
