[INTRO]
[D] [F] [G] [D] [F] [G] [D]

[VERSE]
[D]I wish that my Grandad was still here today au
Cause' [Bm]I'd love to here what he'd have to say .o|
About [G]three dollars and fifty-nine [Gm]cents for a gallon of [D]gas
And I'd [D]show him my wife and what I've done with my life
And [Bm]see if he liked all these songs that I write
[G]Oh, I wish I [Gm]knew what he would think a[A]bout the [Asus4] the fact that
If you're [Bm]sixteen and pregnant, you'll [F]get on tv, but yet we're [Bm]laying off[Bm/A] school teachers [G]fast as can [E7]be
[G]Oh, I wish I knew what he'd think about us [A]now

[CHORUS]
He'd probably ask me [C]why the good ole' [G]US of A
Is [D]so damn tied up in our foreign aid
When the [C]American farmers got to [G]sell all the cows
To keep the [A]bank from [Asus4]taking the house.
I wish [D]I could write [F#m/D]him in on my [D7]ballot for the next presi[G]dent [Em]
Cause' there's [G]men like John Wayne, [A]Augustus McCrae,
The Lone [D]Ranger and his Indian [G]friend
But there will [Em]never be a[A]nother man like [D]him

[VERSE]
[D]I'm glad that I'm not some big Hollywood star
Who thi[Bm]nks they have the right to go as far
As b[G]***hing about the hundred million dollars they make a [D]year
Cause' there's [D]scars on my knuckles and sweat on my brow
And I k[Bm]now that Grandpa, he'd sure be proud
Of [G]my little part that I've made to our family [D]tree
He'd probably ask me [Bm]why people like Casey Anthony can [F]get off scott free and why our [Bm]taxes are still killing
[G]folks just li[E7]ke you and me
[G]Oh I wish I knew what he'd think about us [A]now.

[CHORUS]
He'd probably ask me [C]why the good ole' [G]US of A
Is [D]so damn tied up in our foreign aid
When the [C]American farmers got to [G]sell all the cows
To keep the [A]bank from [Asus4]taking the house.
I wish [D]I could write [F#m/D]him in on my [D7]ballot for the next presi[G]dent [Em]
Cause' there's [G]men like John Wayne, [A]Augustus McCrae,
The Lone [D]Ranger and his Indian [G]friend
But there will [Em]never be a[A]nother man like [D]him
