Intro 1

Verse 1
D 
Ever since I was a little boy,
G 
if I want a piece of candy or a toy,
D 
I'd ask my dad,
C 
A 
but sometimes he don't hear.
D 
Or he might say, go ask your mom,
G 
but if you do that, well,
you gotta stay calm,
D 
A 
cause I'm pretty sure the bug
D 
could stop right there.
Now you could say, Dad said yes,
and do a little dance
G 
But there's such a thing as
the think all chance
D 
It's a pretty good chance
C 
A 
that she'll go check and see
D 
Avoiding all that complication,
G 
I  just skip their generation
D 
A 
D 
And ask Grandma for anything I need
Em 
But if Grandma says no
No, no
F#m 
If Grandma says no
No, no
G 
Well, if Grandma says no
A 
D 
C 
A 
D 
C 
G 
No, no I know
A 
D 
If I ask my mom or ask my dad
G 
I gotta do this or I gotta do that
D 
But grandmas they don't
C 
have that many needs
A 
D 
Every once in a while give a little hug
G 
And don't tell her about them sugar bugs
D 
A 
D 
The cavities that all her candy feeds
Em 
But if grandma says no,
F#m 
if grandma says no,
G 
well if grandma says no,
A 
D 
I know that she really means
C 
A 
D 
C 
G 
maybe
A 
G 
When Mama gets tired of
D 
all of my debating
A 
She'll pack my clothes
D 
and put me in the car
G 
She don't know I'll soon
Bm 
be celebrating
E 
With both hands inside Grandma's cookie
A 
jar

Let's recap
D 
When mama says no and
daddy says no
G 
And your aunts and your uncles
D 
and your teacher says no
C 
Just give a little tug on grandma's dress
A 
D 
She might say I told you once,
I told you twice
G 
D 
No way, no how, or on no dice
A 
D 
But all those words eventually mean yes
Em 
Cause when grandma says no
F#m 
G 
No, no, Grandma says no
A 
D 
I know that she really means maybe
C 
D 
No means maybe
C 
A 
D 
C 
A 
She really means maybe you
