Father’s Old Grey Whiskers

KEY OF C

6  5   6  6   6   -6 6
I have a dear old dad-dy

6    5   6  6    -5  -5
For whom I night-ly pray.

-5  -7 -7 -7  -7  7   -7
He has a set of whis-kers,

  -6     6  6   -6  6   5
They're al-ways in the way.

(Chorus)

  6      5  6   6   6   6
They're al-ways in the way,

6   -5   -6   -6   -6 -6
The cows eat them for hay.

-6   -7   -7   -7  -7  -7 -7    -7
They hide the dirt on Dad-dy's shirt.

-6       6   6  -6  -7  7
They're al-ways in the way

All Reamining Verses are same

Around the supper table
We make a happy group.
Until dear Father's whiskers,
Get tangled in the soup.  chorus

Father had a strong back
But now it's all caved in.
He stepped on his whiskers
And walked up to his chin.  chorus

We have a dear old mother,
With him at night she sleeps.
She wakes up in the morning
Eating shredded wheat

ENJOY!!!

Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
