{t:Grandma's Feather Bed}
{st:John Denver (1974)}
{c:verse 1}
[D]When I was a [G]little bitty boy
[D]Just up off the [A]floor,
We [D]used to go down to [G]Grandma's house
[A]Every month end or [D]so
We'd have [D]chicken pie, [G]country ham
[D]Home-made butter on the [A]bread
But the [D]best damn thing about [G]Grandma'a house
Was the [A]great big feather [D]bed
{soc}
It was [D]nine feet high, six feet wide,
[G]Soft as a downy [D]chick
It was [D]made of the feathers of four-eleven geese
And a [E7]whole bolt of cloth for the [A7]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And the [G]piggy that we stole form the [D]shed
Didn't [D]get much sleep but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]Grandma's feather [D]bed
{eoc}
{c:verse 2}
[D]After supper we'd [G]sit around the fire
The [D]old folks spit and [A]chew
[D]Pa would talk about the [G]farm and the war
And [A]Grandma'd sing a ballad or [D]two
I'd [D]sit and listen and [G]watch the fire
Till the [D]cobwebs filled my [A]head
Next [D]thing I'd know I'd [G]wake up in the mornin'
In the [A]middle of the old feather [D]bed
{soc}
It was [D]nine feet high, six feet wide,
[G]Soft as a downy [D]chick
It was [D]made of the feathers of four-eleven geese
And a [E7]whole bolt of cloth for the [A7]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And the [G]piggy that we stole form the [D]shed
Didn't [D]get much sleep but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]Grandma's feather [D]bed
{eoc}
{c:verse 3}
Well, I [D]love my ma, I [G]love my pa
I love [D]Granny and Grandpa, [A]too
Been [D]fishing with my uncle, [G]wrestled with my cousin
And I [A]even kissed aunt [D]Lou (ew!)
But [D]if I ever [G]had to make a choice
I [D]guess it oughta be [A]said
That I'd [D]trade them all plus the [G] gal down the road
For [A]Grandma's [D]feather bed
{soc}
It was [D]nine feet high, six feet wide,
[G]Soft as a downy [D]chick
It was [D]made of the feathers of four-eleven geese
And a [E7]whole bolt of cloth for the [A7]tick
It could [D]hold eight kids, four hound dogs
And the [G]piggy that we stole form the [D]shed
Didn't [D]get much sleep but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]Grandma's feather [D]bed
{eoc}
{c:outro}
Didn't [D]get much sleep but we [G]had a lot of fun
On [A]Grandma's feather [D]bed
