He said a snake is just as scared of you as you are of it.

He could tell by the moon when the fish would bite,
G G/B C9
Seems there was nothing that he didn't know,
D G
and as a kid I believed, 'cause Grandpa told me so.
Verse 2:
(Chords same as above.)
He talked Daddy into letting me have my first car.
I thought I was really something til Becky Thompson broke my heart.
That first tast of love really did me in,
Getting over her slow,
And I knew someday I would, 'cause Grandpa told me so.
Chorus:
C G
He said, life is made for you to live,
D G
the best love is the love that you give.
C D
Em
There'll be times when you wanna hold on but you gotta let go.
C D G
And I live by those words, cause Grandpa told me so.
Verse 3:
I promised him I wouldn't cry when it was his time to leave.
That's the only promise I made him I couldn't keep.
He smiled from his bed and said we'll meet again,
somewhere down the road.
And I believe, cause Grandpa told me so.
Repeat Chorus 2 x
C D G C9
Yeah and I still believe, Grandpa told me so.
G
Grandpa told me so.
C9
I still believe.
