Intro:  

If you (F#) don’t get in the water, you’re never gonna learn to (B) swim 
He said that a (F#) snake is just as scared of you as you are of (B) him 
He could (Ebm) tell by the moon when the (C#) fish would bite 
Seems there was (F#) nothing that he didn’t (B) know 	  	  	  	  
And as a kid I believed, ‘cause (C#) grandpa told me so (F#) 
 	  	  	  	  	  	 
(F#) He talked Daddy into letting me have my first (B) car 
I thought (F#) I was really something till Becky Thompson broke my (B) heart 
That (Ebm) first taste of love nearly (C#) did me in  
Getting (F#) over her was (B) slow 	  	  	        
And I knew someday I would, ‘cause (C#) grandpa told me so (F#)

He said, (B) life is made for you to (F#) live 
The best (C#) love is the love that you (F#) give
There’ll be (B) times when you want to hold (C#) on, but you gotta let (Ebm) go
And I (B) live by those words, ‘cause (C#) Grandpa told me so (F#) 

Solo

(F#) I promised him I wouldn’t cry when it was his time to (B) leave
(F#) That’s the only promise I made him I couldn’t (B) keep
He (Emb) smiled from his bed and said (C#) we’ll meet again
(F#) Somewhere down the (B) road
And I believe, ‘cause (C#) grandpa told me so (F#)

He said, (B) life is made for you to (F#) live 
The best (C#) love is the love that you (F#) give
There’ll be (B) times when you want to hold (C#) on, but you gotta let (Ebm) go
And I (B) live by those words, ‘cause (C#) Grandpa told me so (F#)
