Intro:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2 D/G
AM7sus2 DM7sus2 D/E
Verse 1:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2
Silver gray hair
D/G F#m7 Em7
Neatly combed in place
DM7sus2 D#m7b5
There were four generations
C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Of love on her face
Em7 DM7sus2
She was so wise,
A/C# Cdim7 Bm9
No surprise passed her eyes
D/G * D/E G6sus G
She'd seen it all.
Verse 2:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2
I was a child,
D/G F#m7 Em7
Oh about three or four,
DM7sus2 D#m7b5
All day I'd ask questions
C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
At night I'd ask more.
Em7 DM7sus2 A/C#
But whenever, she never,
Cdim7 Bm9
Would ever,
D/G * D/E C#/E
Turn me away. No no.
Chorus:
G/A -
I'd say how can I be sure
DM7sus2
What is right or wrong?
- G7 -
And why does what I want
CM7sus2
Always take so long?
- G#M7
Please tell me where does God live
Bb D7sus D/E
And why won't He talk to me?
G/A -
I'd say, grandma what is love?
DM7sus2 -
Will I ever find out?
G7 -
Why are we so poor,
CM7sus2
What is life about?
- G#M7 Bb
I wanna know the answers
D7sus D/E
Before I fall off to sleep.
D7sus D/E
Oooh oh.
Verse 3:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2
She sort of smiled
D/G F#m7 Em7
As she tucked me in,
DM7sus2 D#m7b5
Then she pulled up that old
C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Rocking chair once again.
Em7 DM7sus2 A/C#
But tonight she was slightly,
Cdim7 Bm9
Remarkably,
D/G * D/E G6sus G
Different somehow.
Verse 4:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2
Slowly she rocked,
D/G F#m7 Em7
Looking half asleep,
DM7sus2 D#m7b5
Grandma yawned as she stretched
C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
Then she started to speak,
Em7 DM7sus2 A/C#
What she told me, would mold me,
Cdim7 Bm9
And holds me,
D/G * D/E C#/E
Together inside.
Chorus:
G/A -
She said all the things you ask
DM7sus2
You will know someday,
- G7 -
But you have got to live
CM7sus2
In a patient way.
- G#M7
God put us here by fate
Bb D7sus D/E
And by fate that means better days.
G/A -
She said, child we all are moons
DM7sus2
In the dark of night,
- G7 -
Ain't no morning gonna come
CM7sus2 -
'Til the time is right.
G#M7
Can't get to better days
Bb D7sus D/E
Let's you make it through the night.
D7sus
You gotta make it through the night,
D/E
Yes you do.
Bridge:
CM7sus2
You can't get to no better days,
D/E * C#m7b5
Unless you make it through the night.
CM7sus2
Oh, you will see those better days
Bm7 Em7
But you gotta be patient
D#/F F/D# C/D D/E C/D D/E
Be patient, oh baby be patient.
Verse 5:
AM7sus2 DM7sus2
Later that year,
D/G F#m7 Em7
At the turn of spring,
DM7sus2 D#m7b5
Heaven sent angels down
C#7 C#/D# C#/F F#m7
And gave grandma her wings.
Em7 DM7sus2 A/C#
Now she's flying, and sliding
Cdim7 Bm9
And gliding,
D/G * D/E C#/E
In better days.
Chorus:
G/A -
And although I'm all grown up,
DM7sus2
I still get confused.
- G7 -
I stumble through the dark,
CM7sus2 -
Getting bumped and bruised,
G#M7
When night gets in my way,
Bb
I can still hear my grandma say,
C/D D/E
I can hear her say
C/D D/E
I, can hear her say
(Be patient)
Coda: to fade
CM7sus2
You can't get to no better days,
(Be patient)
D/E * C#m7b5
Unless you make it through the night baby
CM7sus2
Oh, you will see those better days
(Be patient, be patient)
D/E
But you gotta be patient child
*
Do you hear me yeah, well
C#m7b5
Well, well well well.
CM7sus2
You can't get to no, no better days,
(Be patient, be patient)
D/E
Unless you make it
You got to make it, you got to make it
* C#m7b5
You got to make it through the night yeah
CM7sus2
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
(Be patient, be patient)
D/E * C#m7b5
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
CM7sus2
She used to sit me on her knee
(Be patient)
She used to comb my hair.
(Be patient)
D/E
She used to tell me stories
* C#m7b5
My grandma took me everywhere
