[Intro]
D G A D

[Verse 1]
D            G
When I was a little bitty boy
D                A
Just up off the floor,
D                     G
We used to go down to Grandma's house
D           A      D
Every month end or so
          D            G
We'd have chicken pie, country ham
D                       A
Home-made butter on the bread
        D                     G
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
        A                 D
Was the great big feather bed

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

[Verse 2]
D                 G
After supper we'd sit around the fire
        D                        A
And the old folks would spit and chew
D                       G
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
    D               A         D
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
    D                  G
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
         D                 A
Till the cobwebs filled my head
     D                  G
Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin'
       A                         D
In the middle of the old feather bed

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

[Verse 3]
        D             G
Well, I love my ma, I love my pa
       D                  A
I love Granny and Grandpa too
          D                         G
I've been fishing with my uncles, I wrestled with my cousin
  A                D
I even kissed Aunt Lou (ew!)
    D         G
But if I ever had to make a choice
  D                  A
I guess it oughta be said
         D                      G
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
    A                 D
For Grandma's feather bed
    D                       G
I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ... (Well, {mumbling} not the gal down the road)

[Chorus]
       D
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide
    G               D
And soft as a downy chick
       D
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese
       E                           A
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
         D
And it'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs
      G                       D
And a piggy we stole from the shed
          D                     G
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
   A                 D
On Grandma's feather bed
