[F#] [F#m]
Grandpa sits by the back door and [E] he can't see any [A] [D] more.
He lost his sight in 64.
We lead him like a [F#m] horse to water.
But in the evening when the shadows get [E] long,
I sit and I play him my favorite songs.
[D] He listens for a while, but it doesn't take [F#m] long,
and he's a holler.
He [A] says, play me a song [E]
about [Bm] rifles [E] and pistols.
[A] Winchester, Smiths and [E] Wessons, 45s and Enfields.
[D] Settle them up and ride them down.
[F#m] There's a darkness out on the edge of town.
[E] Preacher at the graveside [A] with [D] the Bible.
[F#m] Play me [E] a song about [F#m] pistols and rifles.
Grandpa was born in 1904 [E] and he never fought in any [D] wars.
Too old for the second, too young for the [F#] first, he told [F#m] me.
But he loves to hear them cowboy songs, [E] the ones that just go on and [D] on.
He listens till his head would [F#m] nod and he'd stop snoring.
He [A]
says, play me a song [E] about rifles and pistols.
[A] Winchester, Smiths and [E] Wessons, 45s and Enfields.
[D] Settle them up and ride them [F#] down.
There's a darkness out on the edge of town.
[E] Preacher at the graveside [D] with the Bible.

Play me a [E] song about pistols and [F#m] rifles.

Lord, [B] last week, the week before [F#m] last, I [E] led my old grandpa down the [D] path
out where the prairie grasses [Bm]
grow for [F#m] miles.
I showed him [D] where to point and how to stand, [E] put an old Henry rifle in his hand.
[D] You should have heard him laughing when he [F#m] caught it firing.
He [A] says, play me a song about [E] rifles and pistols.
[A] Winchester, Smiths and Wessons, [E] 45s and [D] Enfields.
Settle them up and ride them down.

[F#m] Play me [E] a song about pistols [F#m] and rifles.
Grandpa sits by the back door.
[E] He can't see anymore.
[D] He lost his sight in 64.
But I lead him like a horse [F#m] to water.
