Grandma's Feather Bed

Tom: C

C            F  
When I was a little bitty boy,
C               G7
Just up off the floor
   C                  F
We used to go down to Grandma's house,
C           G7     C
Every month end or so
       C               F
We had chicken pie and country ham,
    C                       G7
And home made butter on the bread
        C                     F
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
        C         G7      C
Was her great big feather bed

Chorus:
       C                  
It was nine feet tall and six feet wide,
F               C
Soft as a downy chick
                       
It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese,
       D7                          G7
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
     C
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
      F                       C
And a piggy we stole from the shed
                    C7           F 
We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lotta fun
    G7               C
On Grandma's feather bed

C            F 
After supper we'd sit around the fire
C               G7
The old folks'd spit and chew
   C                  F
Pa would talk about the farm and war
C           G7     C
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
       C               F
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
    C                       G7
Till the cobwebs filled my head
        C                     F
Next thing I'd know, I'd wake up in the mornin'
        C         G7      C
In the middle of the old feather bed

**Chorus

C            F 
Well, I love my Ma, I love my Pa
C               G7
I love Granny and Grandpa too
   C                            F
I been fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin
C           G7     C
And I even kissed Aunt Lou - ooh!
       C               F
But if I ever had to make a choice
    C                 G7
I guess it oughta be said
        C                     F
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
        C         G7      C
For Grandma's feather bed

**Chorus
