Verse 1
D 
I met a guy today
I knew years ago when he was 23
and he was married to a widow
Bm 
E 
A 
who was as pretty as could be.
Now this widow had a grown -up
D 
daughter
G 
D 
who had beautiful hair of red
and this guy's father fell
in love with her
A 
D 
and soon the two were wed.
A 
D 
Now this made the guy's dad his
son -in -law
A 
D 
and changed his very life
for his daughter was his mother
Bm 
E 
A 
cause she was his father's wife.
D 
Now to complicate the matter
A 
even though it brought him joy
D 
he soon became the father
A 
D 
of a bouncing baby boy.
A 
D 
Now, his little baby then became
A 
D 
a brother -in -law to his dad.
And so became his uncle.
G 
E 
And though that made him very sad,
A 
D 
for if the baby was his uncle,
then that also made him brother
A 
of the widow's grown -up daughter,
E 
A 
who, of course, was his stepmother.
He's his own grandpa.
D 
Bm 
Now, you're catching on.
A 
Bm 
E 
He's his own grandpa.
Well, naturally.
D 
It sounds funny, I know.
E 
Fdim 
D 
But really, it's so.
A 
He's his own grandpa.
D 
But wait a minute, get
a load of this.
Now his father's wife then had a son
G 
A 
D 
who kept him on the run.
So he became his grandchild,
A 
E 
for he was his daughter's son.
A 
D 
His wife is now his mother's mother.
A 
D 
And of course, that makes him blue,
because although she's his wife,
Bm 
A 
she's his grandmother too.
D 
A 
He's his own grandpa.
D 
Fun in the living room.
E 
A 
E 
He's his own grandpa.
D 
E 
Absolutely.
A 
D 
It sounds funny, I know.
G 
D 
E 
But really, it's so.
D 
A 
He's his own grandpa.
D 
A 
D 
Yeah, but look, get the payoff.
Now, if his wife is his grandmother,
then he is her grandchild.
And every time the guy thinks of it,
E 
it nearly drives him wild.
D 
A 
D 
For now, he has become
G 
D 
the strangest case you ever saw.
As husband of his grandmother,
E 
A 
D 
A 
D 
he's his own grandpa.
A 
He's his own grandpa.
D 
A 
E 
And loving every minute.
Bm 
E 
A 
He's his own grandpa.
E 
A 
Oh, tell me more.
D 
It sounds funny, I know.
G 
But really, it's so.
D 
A 
D 
He's his own grandpa.
E 
A 
D 
He's his own grandpa.
