_ Well, Granddaddy was a hillbilly, scholar [Am] blue, collar of a [A] man.
[C] He came from the school where you didn't need nothin' [G] if you couldn't make it with your
own two hands.
He was backwoods, backwards, [Am] used words like, no sir, yes [C] ma'am, by God, me darn.
Hell yeah, [G] I'm American. _ _
[Eb] And all the [Em] years he walked us, sir, [Eb] I swear all he did [Em] was work.
[Am] He said the devil dreams [G] on a nighthawk, so you listen to me, squirt.
_ Go get you high [Am] on a bottle _
_ [G] _ and get right with a man. _ _
Fight your fights for grace and [Am] all the things that you can't change.
[C] And help somebody if [G] you can. _ _
Now, Granny said, son, I'd stick to your gun [Am] as if you believe in something no matter what.
[C] Cause it's better to be hated for who you [G] are than be loved for who you're not.
She was five feet of concrete, New [Am] York born and raised on a slick city street.
[C] She'd cold stare you down, stand her ground, [G] still kicking and screaming at ninety-three.
[B] I remember just [Em] how frail she looked [B] in that hospital [Em]
bed.
[Am] Taking her last [G] few breaths of life, [C] smiling as she said, [G] go get you high [Am] on a bottle. _
_ [C] Just a little sip every [G] now and then. _
Fight your fights for grace and [Am] all the things that you can't change.
[C] [G] And help somebody if you can.
And get right with a man.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ I _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Em] never [C] let a cowboy [G] make a coffee. _
[C] Yeah, that's what Granny always said to my [G] granddad.
And [Em] he'd say, never [C] tell a joke that ain't [G] that funny more than once.
[Am] And if you want to hear [G] God laugh, tell him [C] your plans.
Don't [G] get you high _ [Am] on a bottle. _
_ [C] _ _ Get right [G] with a man, son. _
Fight your fights, find a grace, and [Am] all the things that you can't change.
[C] And help somebody [G] if you can.
And get right with a man.
_ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _

_ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] _ And get right with a man.
