[Intro]
D Em7 G D Dsus4
GranDdma burned the biscuits,  nearly took Athe house down with it,
Now Cadd9she's in assisted living, we all knew tGhat day would come,
DWe knew she was too gone to drive, Athe day she parked on I-65,
Cadd9Found her on the shoulder cryin, sGhe didn't know where she was,
  Cadd9It's like her mind just qBmuit,
Oh but bring up graEmndpa it's like someone flipped a Gswitch,
A frDont porch light and a blue Desota,
A Emcouple of straws in a Coca-ColaG-a,
you could see it all goin dDown,A  
A hDandsome boy in army green,
A tEmear on his face down on a knee,
A Gshaky voice, a diamond ring,
She'll Asus4put you in that tAown,
ToBmmorrow she won't reAmember what she did tEsusoday,E  
But just ask her about GEllsworth, Em7Kansas, 194D8Em7  G  
DShe takes out his medals, Aa cigar box of letters,
Cadd9Sits and scatters pictures, Gblacks and whites of days gone by,
Cadd9we started losin her when Bmshe lost him,
But to hear her Emcarry on, You'd swear she's sevenGteen again,
FDootball games and leaves a cracklin
WEmalkin her home in his letter jackGet,
You can see it all goin dDown,A  
A peDrfect night on a front porch glider,
SEmayin goodnight for the next three hours,
GHer tired eyes go wide and bright, 
when she Asus4talks about that tAown,
ToBmmorrow she won't reAmember what she did tEsusoday,E  
But just ask her about GEllsworth, Em7Kansas, 194D8Em7  G

Capo 3rd Fret

[Intro]

D Em7 G D Dsus4

D A

Grandma burned the biscuits, nearly took the house down with it,

Cadd9 G

Now she's in assisted living, we all knew that day would come,

D A

We knew she was too gone to drive, the day she parked on I-65,

Cadd9 G

Found her on the shoulder cryin, she didn't know where she was,

Cadd9 Bm

It's like her mind just quit,

Em G

Oh but bring up grandpa it's like someone flipped a switch,

A front porch light and a blue Desota,

Em G

A couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,

D A

you could see it all goin down,

A handsome boy in army green,

A tear on his face down on a knee,

A shaky voice, a diamond ring,

Asus4 A

She'll put you in that town,

Bm A Esus E

Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,

G Em7 D Em7 G

But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948

D A

She takes out his medals, a cigar box of letters,

Cadd9 G

Sits and scatters pictures, blacks and whites of days gone by,

Cadd9 Bm

we started losin her when she lost him,

Em G

But to hear her carry on, You'd swear she's seventeen again,

Football games and leaves a cracklin

Em G

Walkin her home in his letter jacket,

D A

You can see it all goin down,

A perfect night on a front porch glider,

Sayin goodnight for the next three hours,

Her tired eyes go wide and bright,

Asus4 A

when she talks about that town,

Bm A Esus E

Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,

G Em7 D Em7 G

But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948

D Em7 G D A

While the world is fading all around her,

Sharin' a sundae at the counter,

He's goin on and on about her,

Asus4 A

Bet she's right there right now,

Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,

G Em7 D Em7 G D

But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
