[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
