[Intro]
D G A D
[Verse 1]
D G
When I was a little bitty boy
D A
Just up off the floor,
D G
We used to go down to Grandma's house
D A D
Every month end or so
D G
We'd have chicken pie, country ham
D A
Home-made butter on the bread
D G
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
A D
Was the great big feather bed
[Chorus]
D
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide
G D
And soft as a downy chick
D
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
E7 A
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
D
It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs
G D
And a piggy we stole from the shed
D G
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
A D
On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 2]
D G
After supper we'd sit around the fire
D A
And the old folks would spit and chew
D G
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
D A D
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
D G
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
D A
Till the cobwebs filled my head
D G
Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin'
A D
In the middle of the old feather bed
[Chorus]
D
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide
G D
And soft as a downy chick
D
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
E7 A
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
D
It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs
G D
And a piggy we stole from the shed
D G
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
A D
On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 3]
D G
Well, I love my ma, I love my pa
D A
I love Granny and Grandpa too
D G
I've been fishing with my uncles, I wrestled with my cousin
A D
I even kissed Aunt Lou (ew!)
D G
But if I ever had to make a choice
D A
I guess it oughta be said
D G
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
A D
For Grandma's feather bed
D G
I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ... (Well, {mumbling} not the gal down the road)
[Chorus]
D
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide
G D
And soft as a downy chick
D
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
E7 A
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
D
And it'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs
G D
And a piggy we stole from the shed
D G
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
A D
On Grandma's feather bed
[Outro]
