D
Grandpa Charles smoked and drank whiskey
G
But he died in 43
D
Nobody like him in all my kin
A
Untill my brother and me
D
He died in a small town so far back
G
They didn't know what hit him maybe a heart attack
D
That was a drag on my grandma you know
A D
She never really forgave him for that
G D
Most every year on Christmas Day
A D
My dad and me go down where he lay
G D
I don't know what kind of man he'd be
A D G D G
But he'd like my brother and me
D
Grandmama married a man she found
G
Even fore Grandaddy hit the ground
D
Took 45 years but what do you know
A
He turned that right around
D
Grandma would tell him about the family
G
How they come over from Germany
D
Oma and Opa was hard folks though
A D
You know how them Germans can be
G D
When she died we cried and sang that day
A D
With the guitars tuned to the doghouse bass
G D
Nobody sings down low and sweet
A D G D G
Not like my brother and me
D
My great grandpappy on my mother's side
G
Made a whole lot of money before he died
D
He was a wildcatter and in the Klan besides
A
And that was a matter of pride
D
Never wondered where great grandpappy went
G
He lit a cigar neath a oxygen tent
D
A man of secrets I'll never know
A D
Like a letter never sent
G D
They're all livin like they should
A D
But all the money in the world didn't do em no good
G D
Their daughter went and married an old hayseed
A D G D G
And they had my brother and me
D
What do they say about the small town
G
You can take the boy out of Bandera
Not the other way around
D
I don't know but man it's true
A
Those bright lights will get you down
D
I'm gonna stay on the old concrete
G
Cause them city girls they smell so sweet
D
I don't know what the hell they see
A D
But they like my brother and me
A D
But they like my brother and me
A D
They like my brother a little more than they do me
A D
But they like my brother and me
G D
We go down to the Spur some night
A D
And listen to the river neath the pale moon light
G D
And tell our buddies what's it's like to be
A D
Just like my brother and me
A D
Just like my brother and me
A D
Don't mess my with mt brother and me
A D
Just like my brother and me
A D G D G D G D G D G D
Just like my brother and me
