[Intro]

G Cadd9 (x2)


[Verse 1a]

G                             Cadd9
It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails 
        G                              Cadd9
it aint worth a lot of money and it damn sure aint for sale.
    D                                Cadd9                              G
The good lord only knows the all the story's it could tell grandaddys gun.


[Verse 2]

G                                    Cadd9
He bought it new out of the Sears and Roebuck catalog
        G                         Cadd9
and it shot a many shell over the back of an ol'bird dog.
  D                                   Cadd9                            G
It backed a burglar down when grandma took the safety off grandaddys gun 


[Chorus]

  Cadd9                G              D                      G
It's just an old double barrel 12 the stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
    Cadd9                  G                D
it wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one.
Cadd9                          G                        D        
I can hear his voice when i put it to my shoulder "a guns like a woman 
         G                       Cadd9                    G               D
son its all how ya hold her" he taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
    Cadd9                                  D                 G
and one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson grandaddys gun


[Verse 3]

G                           Cadd9    
He handed it to me on the day I turned thirteen, 
       G                             Cadd9   
with a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean.
   D                                  Cadd9                                G
I keep a picture in the case of that sweet old man and me     grandaddys gun


[Chorus]

  Cadd9                G              D                      G
It's just an old double barrel 12 the stock is cracked and it kicks like hell
    Cadd9                  G                D
it wouldn't mean what it means to me to no one.
Cadd9                          G                        D        
I can hear his voice when i put it to my shoulder "a guns like a woman 
         G                       Cadd9                    G               D
son its all how ya hold her" he taught me a whole lot more than how to hunt
    Cadd9                                  D                 G
and one of these days I'll pass it on to my grandson grandaddys gun


[Bridge]

Cadd9                                                       D
There's a long beard hangin' on the living room wall that I got with a box call and 
 G                  D
grandaddys guuuuuuuuuun. 
Cadd9                                      D
There's a shot up stop sign up there on 49 that me and Billy Joe shot up one night with 
G                   D
grandaddys guuuuuuuuuuun.

[Verse 1b]

G                            Cadd9                          G
It sits above the mantle on a couple rusty nails and it aint worth a 
                      Cadd9~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~|
lot of money and it damn sure aint for sale
