GRANDDADDY'S WATCH
CAPO: 4th FRET
[Intro]
D A Bm7 G
D A Bm7 G
[Verse]
D A Bm7
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
G D
It only works about half the time
A Bm7
He promised it to me when I was a kid
G A
Now I wear it just like he did
A G
A-tellin' stories on the porch swing
A
Lightin' up a Phillies cigar
F# G
But it's more than just a time piece on my left arm
[Chorus]
G D
It's a hug your mama, save your money
A Bm
Talk to Jesus, love your country
G D
Hunt and fish as much as you can
A
Don't take a minute for granted
G D
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
A Bm7
But it tells me a lot
G
About livin' this life
A D A Bm7 G
On granddaddy's watch
[Verse]
D A Bm
It's probably only worth about twenty bucks
G D
Band's faded now, second hand gets stuck
A Bm7
But that ain't the stuff that matters to me
G A
It's the symbol of the man that I wanna be
F# G
It's a constant reminder from a wise old timer
[Chorus]
G D
To hug your mama, save your money
A Bm
Talk to Jesus, love your country
G D
Hunt and fish as much as you can
A
Don't take a minute for granted
G D
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
A Bm
But it tells me a lot
G
About livin' this life
A G D A Bm
On granddaddy's watch
G D
Granddaddy's watch
[Break]
A G
He's watchin' over me up there, I know
A D G
And down here, he's with me everywhere I go
[Chorus]
G D
Sayin' you hug your mama, save your money
A Bm
Talk to Jesus, love your country
G D
Hunt and fish as much as you can
A
Don't take a minute for granted
G D
These days it ain't good at tellin' time
A Bm
But it tells me a lot
G
About livin' this life
A D A Bm G
On granddaddy's watch
D A Bm G
Granddaddy's watch
[Outro]
D A Bm
I hardly take it off this wrist of mine
G
It only works about half the time
