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

|G#7 |                   |C#7        |F#7     B7        |

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

        |F#7      |             |B7                  |      |

|E7     |Eb7                  |G#7        |              |C#7

        |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.

(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.
