But the [C] best darn thing about [F] Grandma’s house
Was her [G7] great big feather [C] bed
[C] When I was a [F] little bitty boy [C] just up off the [G7] floor
We [C] used to go out to [F] Grandma’s house
[C] every month [G7] end or [C] so
We’d [C] chicken pie and [F] country ham,
And [C] home made butter on the [G7] bread
But the [C] best darn thing about [F] Grandma’s house
Was her [G7] great big feather [C] bed
It was [C] nine feet high and six feet wide, [F] soft as a downy [C] chick
[C] It was made from the feathers of forty ‘leven geese,
Took a [D7] whole bolt of cloth for the [G7] tick
It’d [C] hold eight kids ‘n’ four hound dogs and a [F] piggy we stole from the [C] shed
[C] We didn’t get much sleep but we [F] had a lot of fun on
[G7] Grandma’s feather [C] bed
But the [C] best darn thing about [F] Grandma’s house
Was her [G7] great big feather [C] bed
[C] After supper we’d [F] sit around the fire,
the [C] old folks would spit and [G7] chew
[C] Pa would talk about the [F] farm and the war,
and my [C] Granny’d sing a [G7] ballad or [C] two
I’d [C] sit and listen and [F] watch the fire till the [C] cobwebs filled my [G7] head
[C] Next thing I’d know I’d [F] wake up in the mornin’
in the [G7] middle of the old feather [C] bed
It was [C] nine feet high and six feet wide, [F] soft as a downy [C] chick
[C] It was made from the feathers of forty ‘leven geese,
Took a [D7] whole bolt of cloth for the [G7] tick
It’d [C] hold eight kids ‘n’ four hound dogs and a [F] piggy we stole from the [C] shed
[C] We didn’t get much sleep but we [F] had a lot of fun on
[G7] Grandma’s feather [C] bed
[C] Well I love my Ma, [F] I love my Pa, love [C] Granny and Grandpa [G7] too
Been [C] fishing with my uncle, I’ve [F] rassled with my cousin,
I even [C] kissed my [G7] Aunty [C] Lou eww!
[C] But if I ever had to [F] make a choice, I [C] guess it ought to be [G7] said
That I’d [C] trade ‘em all plus the [F] gal down the road
For [G7] Grandma’s feather [C] bed
Yes I’d [C] trade ‘em all, plus the [F] gal down the road (spoken: maybe not the gal )
It was [C] nine feet high and six feet wide, [F] soft as a downy [C] chick
[C] It was made from the feathers of forty ‘leven geese,
Took a [D7] whole bolt of cloth for the [G7] tick
It’d [C] hold eight kids ‘n’ four hound dogs and a [F] piggy we stole from the [C] shed
[C] We didn’t get much sleep but we [F] had a lot of fun on
[G7] Grandma’s feather [C] bed
It was [C] nine feet high and six feet wide, [F] soft as a downy [C] chick
[C] It was made from the feathers of forty ‘leven geese,
Took a [D7] whole bolt of cloth for the [G7] tick
It’d [C] hold eight kids ‘n’ four hound dogs and a [F] piggy we stole from the [C] shed
[C] We didn’t get much sleep but we [F] had a lot of fun on
[G7] Grandma’s feather [C] bed
Didn’t get much sleep but we [F] had a lot of fun on [G] Grandma’s, Grandma’s
Grandma’s, – feather [C] bed
But the [C] best darn thing about [F] Grandma’s house was her [G7] great big feather [C] bed
