John Denver - Grandmas feather bed

^DWhen I was a ^Glittle bitty boy ^DJust up off the f^Aloor, ^DWe used to go down to ^GGrandma's house ^DEvery month ^Aend or ^Dso We'd have ^Dchicken pie, ^Gcountry ham ^DHome-made butter on the ^Abread But the ^Dbest darn thing about ^GGrandma's house Was the ^Agreat big feather ^Dbed

It was ^Dnine feet high, and six feet wide And ^Gsoft as a downy ^Dchick It was ^Dmade from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a ^Ewhole bolt of cloth for the ^Atick It'd ^Dhold eight kids, and four hound dogs And a ^Gpiggy we stole from the ^Dshed We didn't ^Dget much sleep but we ^Ghad a lot of fun On ^AGrandma's feather ^Dbed

^DAfter supper we'd ^Gsit around the fire And the ^Dold folks would spit and ^Achew ^DPa would talk about the ^Gfarm and the war And ^DGranny'd sing a ^Aballad or ^Dtwo I'd ^Dsit and listen and ^Gwatch the fire Till the ^Dcobwebs filled my ^Ahead Next ^Dthing I'd know I'd ^Gwake up in the mornin' In the ^Amiddle of the old feather ^Dbed

It was ^Dnine feet high, and six feet wide And ^Gsoft as a downy ^Dchick It was ^Dmade from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a ^Ewhole bolt of cloth for the ^Atick It'd ^Dhold eight kids, and four hound dogs And a ^Gpiggy we stole from the ^Dshed We didn't ^Dget much sleep but we ^Ghad a lot of fun On ^AGrandma's feather ^Dbed

Well, I ^Dlove my ma, I ^Glove my pa I love ^DGranny and Grandpa ^Atoo I've been ^Dfishing with my uncles, I ^Gwrestled with my cousin I ^Aeven kissed Aunt ^DLou (ew!) But ^Dif I ever ^Ghad to make a choice I ^Dguess it oughta be ^Asaid That I'd ^Dtrade 'em all plus the ^Ggal down the road For ^AGrandma's feather ^Dbed I'd ^Dtrade them all plus the ^Ggal down the road ... (Well,

mumbling
