	After all these years i can still hear grandpa laughin' 
              A   
	As he applied that barnyard remedy 
            D 
	He passed his wisdom down to me 
             A                       E                     A

	We were smoochin' on the front porch swing that night when he caught her 
                   A 
	We weren't expectin' him home until quarter past ten 
                  D 
	When the good Lord taught me that lesson again 
             A                       E                     A
