Capo 4th Fret (to match the original recording)

Intro: (D) (G9) (D) (G9) 

If you (D) don't get in the water you're never gonna learn to (G9) swim
He said a (D) snake is just as scared of you as you are of (G9) him
He could (Bm) tell by the moon when the (A) fish would bite
Seems there was (D) nothing that (D/F#) he didn't (G9) know
And as a kid I believed 'cause (A) Grandpa told me (D) so (G9) 

(D) He talked Daddy into letting me have my first (G9) car
I thought (D) I was really something 'til Becky Thompson broke my (G9) heart
That (Bm) first taste of love nearly (A) did me in
Getting (D) over (D/F#) her was (G9) slow
And I knew someday I would 'cause (A) Grandpa told me (D) so (G9) 

   He said (G) life is made for you to (D) live
   The best (A) love is the love that you (D) give
   There'll be (G) times when you wanna hold (A) on but you gotta let (Bm) go
   And I (G) live by those words 'cause (A) Grandpa told me (D) so 

(G9) (D) (G9) 

(D) I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to (G9) leave
(D) That's the only promise I made him I couldn't (G9) keep
He (Bm) smiled from his bed and said (A) "we'll meet again
(D) Somewhere (D/F#) down the (G9) road"
And I believe 'cause (A) Grandpa told me (D) so

(REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)

Yeah and (G) I still believe
(A) Grandpa told me (D) (G9) 
Grandpa told me (D) so
I still be(G9)lieve (D) (G9)
Grandpa told me (D) so
I still be(G9)lieve (D) (G9) 

(FADE OUT)
