[Strophe]
D            G 
When I was a little bitty boy 
D                A 
Just up off the floor, 
D                     G 
We used to go down to Grandma's house 
D           A      D 
Every month end or so 
          D            G 
We'd have chicken pie, country ham 
D                       A 
Home-made butter on the bread 
        D                     G 
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house 
        A                 D 
Was the great big feather bed
[Refrain]
       D 
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide 
    G               D 
And soft as a downy chick 
       D 
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 
       E                           A 
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 
     D 
It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs 
      G                       D 
And a piggy we stole from the shed 
          D                     G 
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 
   A                 D 
On Grandma's feather bed
[Strophe]
D                 G 
After supper we'd sit around the fire 
        D                        A 
And the old folks would spit and chew 
D                       G 
Pa would talk about the farm and the war 
    D               A         D 
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two 
    D                  G 
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire 
         D                 A 
Till the cobwebs filled my head 
     D                  G 
Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the mornin' 
       A                         D 
In the middle of the old feather bed
[Refrain]
       D 
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide 
    G               D 
And soft as a downy chick 
       D 
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 
       E                           A 
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 
     D 
It'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs 
      G                       D 
And a piggy we stole from the shed 
          D                     G 
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 
   A                 D 
On Grandma's feather bed
[Strophe]
        D             G 
Well, I love my ma, I love my pa 
       D                  A 
I love Granny and Grandpa too 
          D                         G 
I've been fishing with my uncles, I wrestled with my cousin 
  A                D 
I even kissed Aunt Lou (ew!) 
    D         G 
But if I ever had to make a choice 
  D                  A 
I guess it oughta be said 
         D                      G 
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road 
    A                 D 
For Grandma's feather bed 
    D                       G 
I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road ... (Well, {mumbling} not the gal down the road)
[Refrain]
       D 
It was nine feet high, and six feet wide 
    G               D 
And soft as a downy chick 
       D 
It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese 
       E                           A 
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick 
         D 
And it'd hold eight kids, and four hound dogs 
      G                       D 
And a piggy we stole from the shed 
          D                     G 
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 
   A                 D 
On Grandma's feather bed
