[G] Many, many years ago [D] when I was 23, I was married to a widow who [G] was pretty as can be.
This widow had [E] a grown-up daughter [Am] who had hair of red.
[A] My father fell in love with her [D] and soon they too were wed.
[G] This made my dad my son-in-law [D] and really changed my life.
Now my daughter was my mother, [G] of course she was my father's wife.
To complicate [E] the matter, [Am] even though it brought me joy, [A] I soon became the father of [D] a bouncing baby boy.
[A] [D]
[A] [G] My little baby then became [D] a brother-in-law to dad and so became my uncle,
[G] though it made me very sad for if he [E] were my uncle, [A] then that also made him brother of widow's grown-up daughter,
who [D] was of course my stepmother.
[Eb] [Ab] Father's wife then had a son [Eb] who kept them on the run, and he became my grandchild [Ab] for he was my daughter's son.
My wife [F] is now my mother's [Bbm] mother and it makes me blue [Bb] because although she is my wife, [Eb] she's my grandmother too.
[E]
[A] Now if my wife is my grandmother, [E] then I'm her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, [A] it nearly drives me wild,
because now I [Gb] have become the [Bm] strangest face you ever saw.
[B] As husband of my grandmother, [E] I am my own grandpa.
[A] Oh, [E] I'm my own [A] grandpa.
[D] I'm my own [E] grandpa.
