Verse 1
G 
D 
He's His Own Grandpa
G 
Now, many, many years ago
D 
when I was twenty -three
I was married to a widow
G 
who was pretty as could be
This widow had a grown -up daughter,
C 
had a pair of red
A 
My father fell in love with her
D 
and soon the two were wed
G 
This made my dad my son -in -law
D 
and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother,
G 
though she was my father's wife
To complicate the matter,
C 
even though it brought me joy
A 
I soon became the father
D 
of a bouncing baby boy
G 
My little baby then became the
D 
brother -in -law to Dad
And so became my uncle,
G 
though it made me very sad
For if he was my uncle,
C 
that also made him brother
A 
Of the widder's growed -up daughter
D 
Who, of course, was my step -mother
G 
D 
G 
I'm my own grandpa
C 
D 
He's his own grandpa
G 
It sounds funny, I know
C 
But it really is so
G 
D 
For I'm my own grandpa
G 
My father's wifein' had a son
D 
Who kept  him on the run
And he became my grandchild
G 
For he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother
C 
and it makes me blue
A 
Because although she is my wife,
D 
she's my grandmother, too
G 
D 
G 
I'm my own grandpa
C 
D 
He's his own grandma
G 
It sounds funny, I know,
C 
though it really is so
G 
D 
For I'm my own grand
G 
D 
G 
C 
pa
D 
G 
C 
G 
Now if my wife is my grandmother,
D 
then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it,
G 
it nearly drives me wild
For now I have become
C 
the strangest case you ever saw
A 
As husband of my grandmother,
D 
I am my own grandpa
G 
D 
G 
I'm my own grandpa
C 
D 
He's his own grandpa
G 
C 
It sounds funny, I know, but it really is so
G 
D 
G 
For I'm my own grandpa
