[Verse]
D
I wish that my Grandad was still here today au
Bm
Cause' I'd love to here what he'd have to say .o|
G Gm D
About three dollars and fifty-nine cents for a gallon of gas
D
And I'd show him my wife and what I've done with my life
Bm
And see if he liked all these songs that I write
G Gm A Asus4
Oh, I wish I knew what he would think about the the fact that
Bm F Bm Bm/A G E7
If you're sixteen and pregnant, you'll get on tv, but yet we're laying off school teachers fast as can be
G A
Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us now
[Chorus]
C G
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A
D
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
C G
When the American farmers got to sell all the cows
A Asus4
To keep the bank from taking the house.
D F#m/D D7 G Em
I wish I could write him in on my ballot for the next president
G A
Cause' there's men like John Wayne, Augustus McCrae,
D G
The Lone Ranger and his Indian friend
Em A D
But there will never be another man like him
[Verse]
D
I'm glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star
Bm
Who thinks they have the right to go as far
G D
As b***hing about the hundred million dollars they make a year
D
Cause' there's scars on my knuckles and sweat on my brow
Bm
And I know that Grandpa, he'd sure be proud
G D
Of my little part that I've made to our family tree
Bm F Bm
He'd probably ask me why people like Casey Anthony can get off scott free and why our taxes are still killing
G E7
folks just like you and me
G A
Oh I wish I knew what he'd think about us now.
[Chorus]
C G
He'd probably ask me why the good ole' US of A
D
Is so damn tied up in our foreign aid
C G
When the American farmers got to sell all the cows
A Asus4
To keep the bank from taking the house.
D F#m/D D7 G Em
