Grandma's Feather Bed by John Denver
Grandma's Feather Bed
Tuning:E A D G B E
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
G C
When I was a little bitty boy
G D
Just up off the floor,
G C
We used to go down to Grandma's house
G D G
Every month end or so
G C
We'd have chicken pie and country ham 'n'
G D
Homemade butter on the bread
G C
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
D G
Was a great big feather bed
[Chorus]
G
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C G
Soft as a downy chick
G
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
A7 D
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
G
It'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs
C G
And the piggy we stole from the shed (oink, oink!)
G C
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
D G
On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 2]
After supper we'd sit around the fire
The old folks'd spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm in the war
And granny'd sing a ballad or two
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
Till the cobwebs filled my head
Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin'
In the middle of the old feather bed
[Chorus]
G
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C G
Soft as a downy chick
G
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
A7 D
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
G
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
C G
And the piggy we stole from the shed (oink, oink!)
G C
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
D G
On Grandma's feather bed
[Verse 3]
Well, I love my ma, I love my pa
I love granny and granpa too
I been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou, eww!
But if I ever had to make a choice
I guess it oughta be said
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
For Grandma's feather bed
I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
(Well, maybe not the gal down the road)
[Chorus]
G
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C G
Soft as a downy chick
G
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
A7 D
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
G
And it'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
C G
And the piggy we stole from the shed (oink, oink!)
G C
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
D G
On Grandma's feather bed
G C
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
