Well, in a small suburban garden,
where not a single neighbor knows our name.
I know the woman wishes we would move someplace.
[G]
[Dm] [G] Oh, just I wish you would take me where the grass is greener.
I couldn't really say what that may be.
[E] I know it's someplace high [C] up on a mountain top.
[E] Oh, it's down by the deep blue sea.
Whoever [G] we are, [E] we do just as we please.
[Em]
[C] Why, it ain't, it's [Dm] nothing but a breeze.
Oh, now, [D] one day I'll be old great [G] grandpa.
All the pretty girls will call me sir.
And now, where they're asking me how things [C] are,
will soon they'll ask me how things [Bb] were.
I [G] don't mind being an old great grandpa,
as long as you'll be my great grandma.
[C] Yes, but I wish we would move without tea and cookies
to the shade of the old paw paw.
Oh, that day I [G] will.
We'll do [Em] just as we please.
[E] [C] Why, it ain't, it's nothing [Dm] but a breeze.
Oh, [E] now, [G] life is just too short for some folks.
And for other folks, it's just straight on.
And some folks will love the taste of smoky whiskey.
And others think your tea is too [D] strong.
[C] Well, I'm the type of guy that [G] likes it right down [C] the middle.
I don't like all this [G] bouncing back and forth.
[Em] I'm the one, me, I want to deal [C] with my feet on down gates.
[D] And my head up in the cool blue [A] North.
[D] [Em] [G]
