I Am My Own Grandpa Uke tab by Ray Stevens (Baritone Chords)

D               A   
Now many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
               D
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
               G
This widow had a grown up daughter who had hair of red
   EA
My father fell in love with her and soon they too were wed.



     D               A
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
               D
My daughter was my mother for she was my father's wife 
               G
To complicate the matter even though it brought me joy
   EA
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy.


     D               A
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
               D
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
               G
For if he was my uncle then that also made him brother 
   EA
Of the widor's grown up daughter who of course was my step-mother.


     D               A
Father's wife then had a son who kept him on the run 
               D
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son 
               G
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue 
   EA
Because although she is my wife, she's my grandmother too.


     D               A
Now if my wife is my grandmother, then I'm her grandchild
               D
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild 
               G
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw 
   EA
As husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa.



D       A        D   G       G7       A
I'm my own grand-pa. I'm my own grand-pa.
  D                    G
It sounds funny I know, but it really is so
    D   A         D
Oh, I'm my own grand-pa.
