Now many many years ago [E] when I was 23 I was married to a widow who was [A] pretty as could be
This [A] widow had a grown-up [D] daughter had hair of red
My [B] father fell [F#] in love with her and [E] soon the two were wed
[A] This made my dad my son-in-law [E] and changed my very life
My daughter was my mother [A] cause she was my father's wife to complicate the matter
Even [D] though it brought me joy.
[B] I soon became the father of [E] a bouncing baby boy
[A] My little baby then [E] became the brother-in [F#]-law to dad [E] and so became my uncle though
It [A] made me very sad
Or if he was my uncle that [D] also made him the brother [B] of the widow's grown-up daughter [E] who of course was my stepmother
[A] I'm [E] my own [A] grandpa
[D] I'm [E] my own [Bm] grandpa
[D] I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny [D#] I know but [A] it really is [F#] so
[E] I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
My father's wife then had a son that kept him on the run
And he became my grandchild [A] for he was my daughter's son
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me [D] blue
[B] Because she is my wife [E] she's my grandmother too
[A] I'm my own grandpa
I'm [F#m] my own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny [A#] I know but [A] it really [F#] is so
[B] [E] I'm my own [A]
grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
Now if my wife is my grandmother [E] then I'm her grandchild
And every time I think of it it [A] nearly drives me wild
For now I have become the [D] strangest case you ever saw
[B] As husband of my grandmother [E] I am my own grandpa
I'm my own [A] grandpa
[D] I'm my [F#m] own grandpa
I'm my own grandpa
It sounds funny [A] I know but it really [F#] is so
