[Chorus 1]
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
You keep on goin' if you sure you right.

[Verse 1]
D
You strain out a gnat, you swallow a camel.
D
A blind man beg but a fool he gamble.
D
A barking dog is soon to bite.
D
What's done in the dark will come to the light.

D
You can't tell a farmer from a lover.
D
You can't judge a book just looking at the cover.

[Chorus 2]
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
You keep on goin' if you sure you right.

[Verse 2]
D
A weak brain and a narrow mind.
D
Has caused many men to be left behind.
D
Some will see, mighty few know.
D
Many will start but a very few go.

D
The darkest part of night is just before day.
D
And when the cat is gone, the mouse will surely play.

[Chorus 3]
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
You keep on goin' if you sure you right.

[Verse 3]
D
You fight the fire, you the fan the flames.
D
Time will change everything.
D
An eye for eye, a tooth for a tooth.
D
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

D
Now if a man don't work, he's bound to steal.
D
Because the grass look green in the other field.

[Chorus 4]
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
What grandma told me, it was good advice.
D
You keep on goin' if you sure you right.
