"Grandaddy's Gun" When Aaron Plays this live he tunes the guitar down a half step. He plays G,C,D, and Em throughout the whole song but he plays an odd variation of all of them that includes his pinky and ring finger staying in the same spot throughout the entirety of the song. These are the variations of the chords that he plays:
G: E3 A2 D0 G0 B3 E3 C: 0 3 2 0 3 3 D: 0 0 0 2 3 3 Em: 0 2 2 0 3 3 what he does is he just keep his ring and pinky fingers on the 3rd fret of the b and little e strings through the whole song and switches only the other fingers. It gives the chords a brighter sound when he plays them. So throughout this tab when I say a chord I mean those ones up there.
GIt sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nail CIt's not worth a lot of money Gbut it damn sure ain't for sale DThe good lord only knows all the Cstories it could tell My Granddaddy's guGn
GHe bought it new out of the sears and robuck catalog CAnd it shot a many a shells over the back of an old bird dog DAnd it backed a burglar down when grandma Ctook the safety off Granddaddy's guGn.
[Chorus:]
CIt's just an old double Gbarrel twelve DThe stock is cracked and it Emkick's like hell CIt wouldn't mean what Gmean's to me to no Done CCause I can still hear his voice when I Gput it to my shoulder DA gun's like a woman son it's all Emhow you hold her CHe taught me a whole lot Gmore than how to Dhunt CAnd one of these days I'll Gpass it on to my Dgrandson My Granddaddy's GuGn
GThat old man gave it to me on the day I turned thirteen CWith a half shot box of shells and a kit to keep it clean DI keep a picture in the case of that Csweet old man and me And Granddaddy's guGn
[Chorus:]
CIt's just an old double Gbarrel twelve DThe stock is cracked and it Emkick's like hell CIt wouldn't mean what Gmean's to me to no Done CCause I can still hear his voice when I Gput it to my shoulder DA gun's like a woman son it's all Emhow you hold her CHe taught me a whole lot Gmore than how to Dhunt CAnd one of these days I'll Gpass it on to my Dgrandson My Granddaddy's GuGn
CThere's a long beard hanging on the livin'G room wall DThat I got with a box call and CGranddaddy's gunG D CThere's a Shot up sign out there on Gforty nine DThat me and billy joe shot up Emone night With Cgranddaddy's gunG D
GIt sets above the mantel on a couple rusty nails CIt ain't worth a lot of money but it damn sure ain't for sale
