[Intro]
Am  D7  Am  D7
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am                              D7
   All those little things that my grandfather said
Am                         D7
   Not so little now, here in my grown-up head
G7                         F      C      Dm7
   I didn't always see the wisdom at the time
        G
But I'm older now
 
 
[Verse 2]
            Am                            D7
Right after lunch and a Cafe Royale, he'd take his combat nap
Am                                   D7
 And slip away to God knows where, beneath his weathered cap
    G7                            F    C  Dm7  G
And doze off with that parlance I came to understand
 
 
[Chorus]
      C     G       Am
Equal strain on all parts
F          C/E             Dm
  Son, whatever course you set
               C       G                    Am
It'll ease the pain on backs and brains and hearts
       D7
It's a solid thing to wish for
         G
It's the wrong thing to forget
C               G/B
  Lyin' in this hammock now
   Am         Am/G    F
It sure feels good to get
         G             C
An equal strain on all parts
 
 
[Interlude]
Am7  D7  Am  D7
 
 
[Verse 3]
   Am                               D7
It works on land, works at sea, for creatures big and small
Am                             D7
   Cooling down our cylinders, living's a long haul
G7                      F     C/E  Dm7
    Jokes and songs and travelin'
     G
They lift the fog
 
 
[Verse 4]
Am                                  D7
Words from a Newfie cabin boy still steer me near and far
         Am                                D7
And I'll pass them on in poems and songs before I cross the bar
G7                     F    C/E Dm7      G
   It's worth a little time and space to understand
 
 
[Chorus]
      C     G/B       Am
Equal strain   on all parts
F     C/E             Dm
  Whatever course you set
               C       G                    Am
It'll ease the pain on backs and brains and hearts
       D7
It's a solid thing to wish for
         G
It's the wrong thing to forget
C               G/B
  Lying in this hammock now
   Am         Am/G    F
It sure feels good to get
         G             C
An equal strain on all parts
