I'm My Own Grandpa
Recorded by Willie Nelson
Written by Moe Jaffe and Dwight Latham

G                       D7
Now many many years ago when I was twenty three
                                 G
I was married to a widow who was pretty as could be
     G7                            C
This widow had a grown-up daughter had hair of red
   A7                               D7
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed

     G                             D7
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
                                    G
My daughter was my mother cause she was my father's wife
   G7                          C
To complicate the matters even though it brought me joy
  A7                          D7
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

   G                         D7
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
                                 G
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
    G7                      C
For if he was my uncle that also made him the brother
       A7                               D7
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother
 
G      D7       G   G7  C               Am        
I'm my own grandpa      I'm my own grandpa
          C                   G         Em
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
Am     D7       G
I'm my own grandpa 

                                     D7
My father's wife then had a son that kept them on the run
                                   G
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son
                  G7                  C
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
  A7                         D7
Because she is my wife she's my grandmother too

repeat #4

    G                            D7
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I am her grandchild
                                 G
And every time I think of it  it nearly drives me wild
    G7                              C
For now I have become the strangest case you ever saw
       A7                          D7
As the husband of my grandmother I am my own grandpa

repeat #4 x2
