GRANDMA'S FEATHER BED   JIM CONNOR




  5  5  5  4 -5b -5b -5b  5    5  6  6   -4
When I was a lit-tle boy just up off a floor

 5   5   5  5   5   5  -5b  -5b   -5b
We used to go down to grand-ma's house

 5  5   5    -4 -4  4
Ev-ry month end or so

 -4   -4    5   5   5   5   -5b -5b -5b
We'd have chick-en pie and coun-try ham

-5b  5    5    6   6   6   6
'n' home-made but-ter on bread

 6   6   7    7     4   4  4    -5b  -6b   -6b
But the best darn thing a-bout grand-ma's house

-6b -6b   6    6    4   4   4
Was her great big feath-er bed


(CHORUS)

 6  6    6   -6b  7    7   7   -6b   6
It was nine feet tall and six feet wide

  4   4 4   4 -4   5
Soft as a down-y chick

 6  6   6    -6b -6b   7    7
It was made from the feath-ers 

 7  7   7  -6b -6b  6
of for-ty 'lev-en geese

  5  5   -4   -5b -5b  -6  -6b -6b   6
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

 6  6   6   -6b    7  -6b   7   -6b   6
it-'d hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs

 5  5  4   4  4   4    -4   -4   5
and a pig-gy we stole from the shed

 6  6   6   7   7     4    4   4 -5b
we did-n't get much sleep but we had 

-5b -5b -5b -6b -6b   6   6     4    4  4
a   lot of  fun on grand-ma's feath-er bed
