Capo 3rd Fret
Intro - D - Em7 - G - D-Dsus4
D A
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,
D A
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,
Cadd9 Bm
It's like her mind just quit,
Em G
Oh but bring up grandpa it's like someone flipped a switch,
D
A front porch light and a blue Desota,
Em 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,
Em
A tear on his face down on a knee,
G
A 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 Em7 D Em7 G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
D A
She takes out his medals, a cigar box of letters,
Cadd9 G
Sits and scatters pictures, blacks and whites of days gone by,
Cadd9 Bm
we started losin her when she lost him,
Em G
But to hear her carry on, You'd swear she's seventeen again,
D
Football games and leaves a cracklin
Em G
Walkin her home in his letter jacket,
D A
You can see it all goin down,
D
A perfect night on a front porch glider,
Em
Sayin goodnight for the next three hours,
G
Her tired eyes go wide and bright,
Asus4 A
when she talks about that town,
Bm A Esus-E
Tomorrow she won't remember what she did today,
G Em7 D Em7 G
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
D Em7 G D A
D
While the world is fading all around her,
Em
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 Em7 D Em7 G D
But just ask her about Ellsworth, Kansas, 1948
