    D                         A
Now many, many years ago when I was twenty-three
                                 D
I was married to a widow who was pretty as can be
                                   G
This widow had a grown-up daughter who had hair of red
   E                                A
My father fell in love with her and soon the two were wed 

     D                             A
This made my dad my son-in-law and changed my very life
                                     D
My daughter was my mother 'cause she was my father's wife
                               G
To complicate the matters even though it brought me joy
  E                           A                 
I soon became the father of a bouncing baby boy

   D                         A                                         
My little baby then became a brother-in-law to dad
                                 D                              
And so became my uncle though it made me very sad
                            G               
For if he was my uncle that also made him the brother
       E                                A                           
Of the widow's grown-up daughter who of course was my step-mother

   D                                 A                                                         
My father's wife then had a son that kept them on the run
                                   D
And he became my grandchild for he was my daughter's son
                                  G              
My wife is now my mother's mother and it makes me blue
        E                             A                
Because although she is my wife she's my grandmother too

       D                              A
Now if my wife is my grandmother then I am her grandchild
                                 D
And every time I think of it, it nearly drives me wild
                                     G
For now, I have become the strangest case you ever saw
       E                            A
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa

Chorus: x 2

D      A        D     G      D        A 
I'm my own grandpa    I'm my own grandpa
          D                    G
It sounds funny I know but it really is so
   D      A        D
Oh I'm my own grandpa
