https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6ZQ_I2CYnc [Intro] G Em G Em [Verse 1] G Grandpa's at it again Em G Woke me up with the sound of chopping wood behind the shed Em Choppin' and a-cussin' like a butcher with Tourettes D Em Don't know if he's been to bed yet D Em Lord knows if he's been to bed yet G Grandma's fixin' her hair Em G Pays no mind to the noise outside just sits in her chair Em Sturdy and grey like a grizzly old bear D Em Hoping today he'd work himself to death D Em Hoping that today he'd work himself to death [Chorus] Em G Splintered hands G D How they run with blood D Am Drive the axe down so hard Am C His heart on the chopping block C G Splintered hands G D Drive the axe down hard D Am Through all those past mistakes Am C And all them sour grapes C G Splintered hands [Solo] G Em G Em [Verse 2] G Grandpa's in a home Em It's all for the best cause he couldn't cope alone G Found him in the shed Em Talking in the dark like Grandma was there D Em Didn't have the heart to tell him that she's dead D Em Never have the heart to tell him that she's dead G Winter's coming along Em Grandpa's worried the wood's running low G So I tell him there's plenty more Em The thought seems to warm his tired old bones D Em Can't have grandma sleeping in the cold, he says D Em Can't have grandma sleeping in the cold [Chorus] Em G Splintered hands G D How they run with blood D Am Drive the axe down so hard Am C His heart on the chopping block C G Splintered hands G D Drive the axe down hard D Am Through all those past mistakes Am C And all them sour grapes C G Splintered hands [Solo] G D Am C G D Am C [Verse 3] G Grandpa's dead and gone Em I only went back to the house once more G Took the axe from the wall Em The handle was rotten and the blade was gone D Em Threw it in the well, I heat my house with coal D Em Threw it in the well, I heat my house with coal [Outro] G D Am C G D Am C G
