G
I THINK WHAT MADE GRANDDADDY GREAT IS THAT HE
D
DIDNT WORK ALL DAY I'D
C
LOVE THE TIME WE SPENT AND I'D GO
D
EVERYWHERE HE WENT WE'D END UP
C C
ON SOME OLD DEER TRAIL AND I'D
C D
LISTEN HARD AS HE WOULD SPIN HIS TALES
G C
WE WERE IN A FIELD OF STUMPS HE SAID I GOT A NEW
C
ONE FOR YOU HUN, THESE TREES ONCE STOOD TALL
D C
AND IM THE MAN THAT MADE EM FALL, I CUT EM UP
D C D
SANDED EM DOWN, AND YOU WOULD'NT BELIEVE WHAT I
FOUND
CHORUS
G
CAUSE PAST THE BARK AND ALL THE SCARS, OUR HOME
G7 C
HOME WAS IN THE HEART OF THOSE OLD TREES, GOD
D
BLESS WHO SOWED THOSE SEEDS,
G
A HUNDRED YEARS AND THEY JUST GREW, AND ONLY
C
HEAVEN KNEW JUST WHAT THEY'D MEAN
D C
TO OUR FAMILY ALL THAT TIME TO BECOME WHAT
D C
WHAT THEY SHOULD, YOU KNOW OUR HOME WAS IN THE
D G
HEART OF THE WOOD.
G
HE SMILED AND SAID HERES MY FAVORITE ONE,
D
POINTED AT A CHERRY STUMP, HE SAID I COULD'NT
C D
AFFORD THE ONE AT SEARS, SO THE GOOD LORD
C
PLANTED ONE RIGHT HERE, HE CARVED OUT WHAT HE
D C
SAW WITHIN, AND HE GAVE IT TO MY DAD WHEN HE
D
TURNED TEN,
G
PAST THE BARK AND ALL THE SCARS THERE WAS A
G7 C
GUITAR IN THE HEART OF THAT OLD TREE ALL FROM
D G
JUST ONE SEED, A HUNDRED YEARS AND IT JUST GREW
G7 C
AND ONLY HEAVEN KNEW WHAT IT'D BE AND HOW THAT
D C
TREE COULD SING, ALL THAT TIME TO BECOME WHAT
D C D
SHOULD, THERE WERE SONGS IN THE HEART OF THE
G
WOOD.
EM D
HE SAID WE CAN MARK A TREE, TO KEEP FROM GETTING
AM
LOST, AND IT WILL ALWAYS POINT OUR WAY HOME
C D
LIKE THAT OLD RUGGED CROSS,
G G7
A HUNDRED YEARS AND IT JUST GREW ONLY HEAVEN
C D
KNEW WHAT IT'D BE, AND WHO'D HANG FROM THAT
D C D
TREE, IT HELD THE SON OF GOD LIKE IT SHOULD,
C D G
BUT I KNOW IT BROKE THE HEART OF THE WOOD.
I THINK WHAT MADE GRANDDADDY GREAT, IS THAT HE
DIDNT WORK ALL DAY, I'D LOVE THE TIME HE SPENT
AND I'D GO EVERYWHERE THAT OLD MAN WENT.
