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

Even when the times were sad ... was good enough for granddad.

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

Ain't a man alive sure can jive better than granddad can
| | | | |
All the good times that he had they were good enough for granddad,

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.

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

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

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