Rascal Flatts - Ellsworth


         ***CAPO 3rd fret***


Intro - D - Em7 - G - D-Dsus4



(verse 1)
D                          A/C#
Grandma burned the biscuits,  nearly took the house down with it,
Cadd9                         G
Now she's in assisted living, we all knew that day would come,


(verse 2)
D                                A/C#
We knew she was too gone to drive, the day she parked on I-65,
Cadd9                             G
Found her on the shoulder cryin, she didn't know where she was,


(pre-cho)
Cadd9                      Bm
  It's like her mind just quit,
                   Em7                     (D)        G
Oh but bring up grandpaw it's like someone flip'd a switch,



(chorus)
    D
A front porch light and a blue Desota,
  Em7                            G
A couple of straws in a Coca-Cola-a,
                           D - A
you could see it all goin down,
   D
A handsome boy in army green,
   Em7
A tear on his face down on a knee,
 G
Shaky voice a diamond ring,
       Asus4            A
She'll put you in that town,
  Bm                 A                    Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
                       G    D/F#   Em7        D - Em7 - G
But just ask her about Ells-worth, Kansas, 1948




(verse 2)
She takes out his medals, a cigar box of letters,
Sits and scatters pictures, blacks & whites of days gone by,

(pre-cho)
we started losin her when she lost him,
But to hear her carry on, You'd swear she's seventeen again,


(chorus)
 D
Football games and leaves a cracklin'
 Em7                               G
Walkin her home in his letter jack-et,
                         D - A
You can see it all goin down,
    D
A perfect night on a front porch glider,
 Em7
Sayin goodnight for the next three hours,
G
Her tired eyes go water-eyed, 
         Asus4             A
when she talks about that town,
  Bm                 A                    Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
                       G    D/F#   Em7        D - Em7 - G
But just ask her about Ells-worth, Kansas, 1948




(lead - D - Em7 - G - D - A)



(Ending)
           D
While the world is leading all around her,
Em7
Sharin' a Sundae at the counter,
G
He's goin on and on about her, 
   Asus4                     A
Bet she's right there right now,
  Bm                 A                    Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
                       G    D/F#   Em7        D - Em7 - G - D
But just ask her about Ells-worth, Kansas, 1948
