Ray Stevens - I am my own grandpa

Now ^Dmany, many years ago when ^AI was twenty-three I was married to a widow who was ^Dpretty as can be This widow had a grown up daughter ^Gwho had hair of red My ^Efather fell in love with her and ^Asoon they too were wed.

^DI'm my o^Awn grand-^Dpa. ^GI'm my o^Dwn grand-^Apa. It s^Dounds funny I know, b^Gut it really is so Oh, ^DI'm my^A own grand^D-pa.

This ^Dmade my dad my son-in-law and ^Achanged my very life My daughter was my mother for she ^Dwas my father's wife My wife is now my mother's mother ^Gand it makes me blue Because ^Ealthough she is my wife, she's ^Amy grandmother too.

^DI'm my o^Awn grand-^Dpa. ^GI'm my o^Dwn grand-^Apa. It s^Dounds funny I know, b^Gut it really is so Oh, ^DI'm my^A own grand^D-pa.

Now if my ^Dwife is my grandmother, then ^AI'm her grandchild And every time I think of it, it ^Dnearly drives me wild For now I have become the strangest ^Gcase you ever saw As ^Ehusband of my grandmother, ^AI am my own grandpa.

^DI'm my o^Awn grand-^Dpa. ^GI'm my o^Dwn grand-^Apa. It sounds ^Dfunny I know, but it ^Greally is so Oh, ^DI'm my^A own grand^D-pa.
