Intro= same as Chorus
G Gmaj7
My grandpa Karl
C D G Gmaj7
Found a treasure in his own backyard
C D Bdim7 E7 Am7
He brought the silver to his brother Tim
Em7 D
The only one he knew who might know something
”Wow, migration age!”
Said the brother with eyes open wide
”Thanks” said grandpa and went back to hide
All the coins in that same old hole, saying:
E7 Am
”This life of mine
D G
Suits me just fine
C Bm
What happens to my home
D
If these news would reach
E7 Am
All the powers that be
D G
It's easy to see
C Bm
I ain't no shirk
D G-Gmaj7 C D
Just give me fair pay for my honest work”
My grandpa Karl
Worked his whole life for children and wife
Days and nights without rest or regret
A monument of sweat
Migration age
All the kids moved away from his place
One got lucky and called his old man
And offered him to pay for vacation
”Nah, this life of mine
Suits me just fine
What happens to my home
If I'd leave it to all the
Magpies and weed
It's easy to see
I ain't no shirk
Just wanted fair pay for my honest work”
My grandpa Karl
Found a treasure that stayed where it was
