[Part 1]
 G Am7
Got an 8 x 10 of me and him, when I was about nine,
D7   G
D7sus4
the game was over; I was on his shoulders by the 50 yard line.
 G Am7
He was a tall and lean proud marine with a faded green tattoo,
D7   G
D7sus4
always had my back when I ticked-off dad 'cause that's what grandpas do.

[Part 2]
 C G
From 55 to 65 I watched his hair turn grey
C   D7
D7sus4
and the only time I saw him cry was the Sunday I got saved.
 C G Em
From turnin' a wrench to fixin' fence and pickin' me up at school
 C D7 G Am7
to bein' my best friend – that's what grandpas do.

[Part 3]
 G Am7
He taught me how to drive and how to survive in the woods if I got lost;
D7   G
D7sus4
and the older I get the more I see I'm a chip off a chip off his old block.
 G Am7
He taught me how to tie a tie, put an edge on a knife and how to sight in my 22,
D7   G
D7sus4
how to do unto others, 'cause that's what grandpas do.

[Part 4]
 C G
He taught me not to be lazy, open doors for ladies and look a man in the eye,
C   D7
D7sus4
think before you speak, pray before you eat and how to choke down your pride.
 C G Em
He gave me my last name, this cross on this chain and my first Red Man chew,
 C D7 G
so, don't tell your grandma, boy, 'cause that's what grandpas do, yeah!

[Part 5]
 C G
From an old Chevelle, out there raisin' hell to quotin' from King James,
C   D7
D7sus4
from Superman to barely can remember his own name.
 C G Em
They go from an old jon boat with a fishin' pole to a hospital room,
 C D7 G Em
better love 'em while you can, man, 'cause that's what grandpas do,
 C D7
you'd better love 'em while you can, 'cause that's what grandpas [Outro] do.
