I Am My Own Grandpa chords

[E]Many many years ago
[B]When I was twenty three
[B7]I was married to a widow
[E]Who was pretty as could be

[E7]This widow had a grown-up daughter
[F#m]Had hair of red
[F#]My father fell in love with her
[B]And soon the two were wed

[E]This made my dad my son-in-law
[B]And changed my very life
[B7]My daughter was my mother
[E]'Cause she was my father's wife

[E7]To complicate the matters
[F#m]Even though it brought me joy
[F#]I soon became the father
[B]Of a bouncing baby boy

[E]My little baby then became
[B]A brother-in-law to dad
[B7]And so became my uncle
[E]Though it made me very sad

[E7]For if he was my uncle
[F#m]That also made him the brother
[F#]Of the widow's grown-up daughter
[B]Who, of course, was my step-mother

[E]I'm my own grandpa
[F#m]I'm my own grand[B]pa
[E]It sounds funny I know
[A]But it really is so
[E]I'm my [B]own gr[A]andp[E]a

[E]My father's wife then had a son
[B]That kept them on the run
[B7]And he became my grandchild
[E]For he was my daughter's son
[E7]My wife is now my mother's mother
[F#m]And it makes me blue
[F#]Because although she is my wife
[B]She's my grandmother too

[E]I'm my own grandpa
[F#m]I'm my own grand[B]pa
[E]It sounds funny I know
[A]But it really is so
[E]I'm my [B]own gr[A]andp[E]a

[E]Now, if my wife is my grandmother
[B]Then, I am her grandchild
[B7]And every time I think of it
[E]It nearly drives me wild
[E7]For now I have become
[F#m]The strangest case you ever saw
[F#7]As the husband of my grandmother
[B]I am my own grandpa

[E]I'm my own grandpa
[F#m]I'm my own grand[B]pa
[E]It sounds funny I know
[A]But it really is so
[E]I'm my [B]own grandp[A]a
