John Denver - Grandmas Feather Bed Chords

[Verse]

C            F
When I was a little bitty boy
C            G7
Just up off-a floor
C                     F
We used to go down to Grandma's house
C           G7     C
Every month end or so
       C               F
We had chicken pie and country ham
     C                     G7
And homemade butter on the bread
        C                     F
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
        C         G7      C
Was her great big feather bed


[Chorus]

       C                  F
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C               G7
Soft as a downy chick
       C                          F
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
             C       D7            G7
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
     C                F
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
      C                       G7
And a piggy we stole from the shed
          C                     F
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
   C         G7      C
On Grandma's feather bed


[Verse]

C                     F
After the supper we'd sit around the fire
    C                    G7
The old folks'd spit and chew
C                       F
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
    C               G7        C
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
    C                  F
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
         C                 G7
Till the cobwebs filled my head
     C                F
Next thing I knew I'd wake up in the morning
       C             G7          C
In the middle of the old feather bed


[Chorus]

       C                  F
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C               G7
Soft as a downy chick
       C                         F
It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese
       C             D7            G7
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
     C                F
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
      C                       G7
And a piggy we stole from the shed
   C                            F
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
   C         G7      G7
On Grandma's feather bed


[Verse]

       C                  F
Well I love my Ma, an' I love my Pa
     C                  G7
Love Granny and Grandpa too
     C                        F
Been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin
  C                G7
I even kissed Aunt Lou oooh
    C       F
But if ever had to make a choice
  C                    G7
I guess it ought to be said
     C                           F
That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road
    C         G7      C
For Grandma's feather bed


[Chorus]

       C                  F
It was nine feet high and six feet wide
C               G7
Soft as a downy chick
       C                         F
It was made from the feathers of forty'leven geese
       C             D7            G7
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
     C                F
It'd hold eight kids, four hound dogs
      C                       G7
And a piggy we stole from the shed
   C                            F
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
   C         G7      C
On Grandma's feather bed
