Key: F major
Verse 1
I knew years ago when he was 23
and he was married to a widow
Dm
G
C
who was as pretty as could be.
Now this widow had a grown -up
F
daughter
Bb
F
who had beautiful hair of red
and this guy's father fell
in love with her
C
F
and soon the two were wed.
C
F
Now this made the guy's dad his
son -in -law
C
F
and changed his very life
for his daughter was his mother
Dm
G
C
cause she was his father's wife.
C
F
of a bouncing baby boy.
C
F
Now, his little baby then became
C
F
a brother -in -law to his dad.
And so became his uncle.
Bb
G
And though that made him very sad,
C
F
for if the baby was his uncle,
then that also made him brother
G
C
who, of course, was his stepmother.
He's his own grandpa.
F
Dm
Now, you're catching on.
C
Dm
G
He's his own grandpa.
Well, naturally.
G
Abdim
F
But really, it's so.
a load of this.
Now his father's wife then had a son
Bb
C
F
who kept him on the run.
So he became his grandchild,
C
G
for he was his daughter's son.
C
F
His wife is now his mother's mother.
C
F
And of course, that makes him blue,
because although she's his wife,
Dm
C
she's his grandmother too.
F
C
He's his own grandpa.
G
C
G
He's his own grandpa.
F
G
Absolutely.
C
F
It sounds funny, I know.
Bb
F
G
But really, it's so.
F
C
He's his own grandpa.
F
C
F
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,
F
C
F
For now, he has become
Bb
F
the strangest case you ever saw.
As husband of his grandmother,
G
C
F
C
F
he's his own grandpa.
F
C
G
And loving every minute.
Dm
G
C
He's his own grandpa.
G
C
Oh, tell me more.
F
C
F
He's his own grandpa.
G
C
F
He's his own grandpa.
