Chords for Patty Loveless — "The Grandpa That I Know" — Live

_ _ _ _ _ _ Well, before I go any further, I know that my mom is watching tonight and I want to wish her a happy Mother's Day.
And all you mothers out there a happy Mother's Day.
A happy [F#] Mother's Day tomorrow.
I hope you enjoy yourselves.
This next [G#] song that I'm about to do is a song that's very, very special to [E] my husband, Emory Gordy Jr.,
who produces my records, [N] and myself as well. _
And when I did this song, it's such a special tune that I feel, I really feel in my heart that a lot of you out there will be able to relate to it as well.
But to this, to me and Emory, this song is sort of reminds us of his grandpa Cochran.
Homer Cochran was his name.
An amazing man.
And within the record booklet, you'll find a picture of Homer there standing with his mule and his overalls.
And this song is just one of those that just really pulls at your heartstrings. _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Brand new shoes, they [B] hurt my [F#] feet.
This lace _ collar's choking me. _
Cutting off my [B] air [F#] supply.
When I hang my head to cry.
When I hang [C#] my head to [F#] cry.
I _ _ _ _ _ see [B] tears on daddy's [F#] face.
_ Someone's humming [C#] [F#] amazing grace.
Rain beats on this [B] grass I [F#] tend.
_ Preacher says he [C#] did [F#] repent.
_ Preacher swears he [C#m] did [F#] repent. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] They've got him laying.
[F#] _ _ _ _ [B] How they get [F#] him in that [C#] suit.
[B] I guess the _ [F#] Lord recognizes him without his [C#] overalls [F#] and mule.
_ [C#] They all say [F#] he looks _ [B] good.
But all I see is a [F#] cold, dark [C#] hole.
[B] I won't commit this [F#] date of memory.
That ain't the grandpa [C#] that [F#] I know.
That ain't the grandpa [C#] that [F#] I know.
A [B] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _
[F#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
tractor never [B] pulled his [F#] plow.
He walked and cussed.
[C#] He loved [F#] that ground.
His hands sowed each [B] and every [F#] seed.
He prayed for rain [C#] and fight [F#] the weeds.
He prayed for rain [C#] and fight [F#] the weeds.
_ _ _ He said this simple life, it [B] suits me [F#] fine.
Never dreamed beyond [C#] the county [F#] line.
Grandma was his [B] boyhood [F#] bride.
He'll be back in her [C#] arms [F#] tonight.
He'll sleep there in [C#] her arms [F#] tonight. _ _ _
_ _ _ [C#] They've got him [F#] laying there in [B] pinstripes.
How they get [F#] him in [C#] that suit.
[B] I guess the Lord [F#] _ recognizes him without his [C#] overalls [F#] and mule.
[C#] They all say he [F#] looks so natural.
[B] All I see is a [F#] cold, dark [C#] hole.
[B] I won't commit [F#] this date of memory.
That ain't the grandpa [C#] that [F#] I know.
[C#] They played a pretty [F#] organ number and swore it was his [C#m] favorite tune.
[B] But I know he [F#] preferred the fiddle playing [C#] Carroll [F#] County [C#] blues.
They all say [F#] he _ _ _ _ [B] looks so natural.
All I see [F#] is a cold, [C#] dark hole.
[B] I won't commit [F#] this date of memory.
That ain't the grandpa [C#] _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _
[C#] that [F#] I know. _ _ _ _ _
