Tonart: F major
Intro 1
F
Verse 1
Bb
Me and that Navy ain't speaking.
F
At sailing, I tell you, I'm through.
On the advice of a doc, I got me a shock.
I had to have something to do.
G
These nerves I've got are from
soaking too long
C
when a ship got hit by a plane.
F
And right here, about four years back,
I met Grasshopper McLean.
Bb
The sun was a -burning
in the desert red hot,
Gm
F
and his mother drove in with a flat.
Bb
She went inside to cool off with a beer,
F
and I saw her kid in the back.
He lay on the seat in the sweltering heat,
C
F
with hair the color of flame.
but smiling and bright,
was little old Grasshopper McClain.
I fixed her tire
and was toting him around
F
when she asked me how much she owed.
I just laughed and said, oh,
I'll settle for him.
And to my surprise,
C
she drove off down the road.
I figured she'd sober
and come hurrying back.
G
But for three long years, she never came.
C
And all that time, I was mother and dad
to little old Grasshopper McClain.
F
I'd tell him of ships I'd
sailed on the seas
when I put him to bed at night,
and that freckle -faced kid
and quick as a mate for a fight.
F
I thought I'd wait till he'd grown a bit
Bb
and let him pick out his own name.
One day he came in with a
bug in his hand
F
and he said, Me, Grasshopper McLean.
Oh, he'd mimic my walk
C
and he'd mimic my talk,
F
like my shadow, he'd just tag me around.
He even had to be checked
every time I was checked by the
Navy doc over in town.
The doc would laugh and thump
Bb
his little old chest
F
and say, Feller, you're right as rain.
Then he'd turn to me
Bb
F
and tell me that I'd be a new man,
thanks to Grasshopper McLean.
I guess you wonder why I'm telling you this.
G
Well, that's why I'm here doing time.
C
F
For a bang and a sheriff
F
that came to take what was mine.
Ah, but you should have seen
the way he fought.
Bb
You could tell that kid was Navy trained.
G
Bb
wouldn't be so much like hell
F
If I only had Grasshopper McLean
