If it's good enough for granddad it's good enough for me

|C#7                  |F#7      B7      |
Way it was that's the way it's got to be

|E7                   |Eb7
Told me all about the good times that he had

|G#7 |                   |C#7        |F#7     B7        |
Even when the times were sad ... was good enough for granddad.

"Intro once", then

|E7add9              |                  |A7add6              |
Been to all kinds of places ... been to every old foreign land

        |F#7      |             |B7                  |      |
Ain't a man alive sure can jive better than granddad can

|E7     |Eb7                  |G#7        |              |C#7
All the good times that he had they were good enough for granddad,

        |F#7      B7     |
they're good enough for me

(horn solo, Verse A under it, one "intro" at end)

Play Verse B for this:

Been to all kinds of places ... been to every old foreign land
Ain't a man alive sure can jive better than granddad can

Play Verse A:

All the good times that he had even when the times was sad
they was good enough for granddad.

Bridge:

| A7 | A#7 | B7* | B7* | F#7 | F#7 | B9aug5 | B9aug5 |
(yeah dad!)

Verse A:

All the good times that he had they were good enough for granddad
they're good enough for me

Play Intro 3 times, and then the ending which is something like

---2-3-4----------               ---2-3-4-----------|
------------------               -------------------|
---2-3-4---1-2-3-4               ---2-3-4-----------|
------------------       OR:     -------------------|
------------------               -------------0-1-2-|
------------------               -----------4-------|

Then the ending strum which is something like Emaj7min7add9 or simply E7add9.
