Grandpa [Dm] _ Charlie
Smalls the man.
_ _ [Bm] Laughter. _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ [D] Nobody _ like him
but oh my [A] God
until my [G] brother and me.
He [D] died in a small town
so far back [G] they didn't know
what hit him, maybe a heart attack.
_ [D] That was a drag
on my grandma, you know she [A] never
really [Am]
forgave [D] him for that.
_ _ [G] Most every year
[D] on Christmas Eve, my
[Am] dad and me go [D] down
where he lay.
[G] I don't know
what kind [D] of man he'd be,
[Am] but he liked my [D] brother and me. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ Grandma married
a man she found [G] even
_ before granddaddy hit the ground.
[E] Took 45 _ years
but what do you [D] know, [A] well
he turned that right around.
[G] _ _ [D] Grandma would tell
about the family, [G] how they
come on over from Germany.
_ [D] _ Oh my, no
poor, sorry folks, though you [A] know
how them Germans [D] can't be.
_ [G] She died,
we cried [D] and sang that day
[A] with the guitars [G] tuned [D] to the
doghouse space.
[G] _
Nobody
sings [D] down low and sweet
not [A]
like [D] my brother
and me. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] Well my
great _ grandpappy on my mother's side
[G] made a whole lot of money
before he [D] died.
He was
a wild catter and in the clan
besides, [A] that was a
matter of pride.
[D] _ Never wondered where great grandpappy
went, he [G] lit a cigar
underneath [D] the oxygen pen.
A man of [G] secrets I'll
never know, [A] like a letter never [D] sent.
_ _ _ [G]
They're all living [D] like
they should but all the money in the
world didn't do no [G] good.
Their daughter went and married [Dm] an old
Haiti seed [D] and they had my
brother and me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Well
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _
what do they
say about the small town?
Take the
[B] boy out of Bandera, not
the other [D] way around.
I don't know but man it's true
[Am] those bright lights
get you _ [Em] down.
_ [D] I'm gonna stay on
the old concrete cause [G] them city
girls they smell so
[Db] sweet.
[D] And I don't know
what the hell they [G] see but [A] they
like [G] my [D] brother and me.
_ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ [Gm] My brother [A] thinks
they [G] like him [Dm] more than me. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] They like my brother and [D] me.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] Go down to the spur
_ sometimes, [A]
listen [G] to the river
[D] underneath the pale moonlight.
[G] _
Tell them old buddies [D] what it's like
to be [A] just like [E] my
brother [D] and me. _ _
Just like [G] my brother and [D] me. _
_ Don't [G] mess with
my [D] brother and me.
_ _ [A] Just like _ _
[Em] my _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ brother [D] and me. _ _ _
