Verse 1
G
D
Grandpa was a preacher,
G
and he led the singing too
D
Gsus2
D
Grandma used to yodel
G
and tell us what to do
A
G
Gsus2
D
Grandpa drove a limousine,
G
Gsus2
D
but just on Saturdays
G
D
He'd tell the crying families
G
about Je sus by the grave
A
G
D
He was always smiling and
G
Gsus2
D
whistling a tune
G
D
Grandpa had the kindest eyes,

And once I knew this girl
D
G
Gsus2
whose grandpa was a millionaire
D
G
D
And when he kicked the bucket,
G
well, she was the only heir
A
G
D
And he left her with everything,
G
D
more than she could dream
G
D
Truckloads full of money,
G
with the castle by the sea
A
G
D
But he was always lying,
G
D
as selfish as could be
G
D
So he left her with empty words
G
Em
D
and painful memories
G
D
Now grandpa didn't leave me,
A
money I could spend
D
G
D
See, I guess that he didn't have
G
A
much money in the end
G
D
My grandpa was an honest man,
A
D
seeking after truth
G
D
And grandpa had the kindest eyes,

G
D
Grandma had a daughter,
G
D
and then she had two sons
G
Gsus2
D
And one became my father,
G
when he and Ma were done
A
G
D
And I might be the richest man
G
to ever walk this earth
D
G
D
Cause I was left with so much more
G
than money could be worth
A
G
D
And my dad's just like my grandpa,
G
D
he's wearing worn out shoes
G
Gsus2
D
But he's a man that I can trust,
G
Em
D
always tells the truth
G
D
And now maybe dad won't leave me,
A
money I can spend
D
G
D
See, my guess is that he won't
G
A
have much money in the end
G
D
But my father is an honest man,
A
D
seeking after truth
G
D
G
D
And daddy got my grandpa's eyes
Em

G
D
Now I am a father,
G
I've got three little girls
D
G
D
And everything is different
G
since they came into the world
A
G
D
Fame and fortune seems to me
G
the emptiest pursuit
D
G
I'd rather know my daughters well
D
G
and see them grow up too
A
G
D
And we all know how time
G
D
can slip away from you
G
D
So God help me to be a man
G
Em
that always follows through
D
G
Em
D
I wanna do what I say I'll do
G
D
And I sure hope I leave them
A
D
Money they can spend
G
D
But you know I am a songwriter
G
A
So the money's in the wind
G
D
And like my dad and grandpa
A
D
I'm seeking after truth
G
D
And when I look into the mirror I
G
Em
D
see Carolina blues
G
Em
Grandpa, it makes me think of you
D
G
Em
D
These Carolina blues
G
You know all my daughters
Em
D
got them too
G
Em
D
G
Carolina Carolina blues
Em
G
D
You
