[Verso 1]
 
E                            A                 E 
Sunday morning after church I went to grandmas house 
                              Bm 
Sneaking round the attic that's when I found 
  E                   A            E 
A military uniform embroidered I-C-E 

I said Grandma, who was Grandpa 
                       E 
Could you tell a bit to me 

E                                        A             E 
She looked across both shoulders and the air got real still 
                                        
And she said now that youre older aw baby I sure will 
    E                      A             E 
She said its 2055 And I know it sounds absurd 
    E                                     E       
And what she told me next I remember every word

     A 
Your grandpa was the kind of man 
     E 
Who prayed with all his heart 

He'd say he loved America 
                   
But hated every part 
     A 
Your grandpa was the kinda man 
        E 
Thought hell was where he lived 
        NC 
Well he passed on 20 years ago 
                        E 
And guess what, now it is 
 


[Verso 2]
 
   E                        A                 E 
He loathed the educated and loathed the needy too 
                                             
And loathed the folks complaining but thats all he used to do 
    E                            A               E 
He loved a foreign single mom or colored working man 
       E                                                    E      
Yes he loved to tie their hands and feet and drag em to his van 
 


[Refrão]
 
     A 
Your grandpa was the kind of man 
     E 
Who loved to hear them scream 

And wave his gun at anyone 
                       
He wanted on the street 
   A 
He said the lord would have his day 
    E 
And wash away the sin 
        NC 
Well he passed on 20 years ago 
                        E 
So I guess he did it then 
 


[Verso 3]
 
     E                                 A               E 
Then Grandma told the tale of how the man fell from power 
                                          
And they took away his database and his 30 bucks an hour 
     E                                   A               E 
They walked em to the gallows once the verdict had been served 
                                                                 E 
And they asked would you still like that mask to speak your final words

     A 
Your grandpa was the kind of man 
     E 
That always was convinced 
     E 
That God would save America 
                 
And I guess he did 
     A 
Your grandpa was that kind of man 
     E 
And him and his platoon 
          NC 
Yeah they passed on 20 years ago 
                  E 
And not a day too soon
