[Verse 1]
ANow many many years ago when E7I was twenty three
I was married to a widow who wasA pretty as could be
This widow had aA7 grown-up daughterBm had hair of red
MyB7 father fell in love with her andE7 soon the two were wed
ThisA made my dad my son-in-law andE7 changed my very life
My daughter was my mother cause sheA was my father's wife
To complicate theA7 matters evenBm though it brought me joy
IB7 soon became the father of aE7 bouncing baby boy
MyA little baby then became aE7 brother-in-law to dad
And so became my uncle though itA made me very sad
For if he was myA7 uncle thatBm also made him the brother
OfB7 the widow's grown-up daughter whoE7 of course was my step-mother
[Chorus]
AI'm my E7own grandApa DI'm my Bmown grandDpa
It soundsD funny IA know but iC#mt really isF#m so
AI'm my E7own grandApa
[Verse 2]
My father's wife then had a E7son that kept them on the run
And he became my grandchild for heA was my daughter's son
My wife is now myA7 mother's motherBm and it makes me blue
B7Because she is my wife she's my E7grandmother too
repeat #4
[Verse 3]
NowA if my wife is my grandmotherE7 then I am her grandchild
And every time I think of it itA nearly drives me wild
For now I haveA7 become the strangestBm case you ever saw
As theB7 husband of my grandmother IE7 am my own grandpa
repeat #4 x2
