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 D#m7b5 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 D#m7b5 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 D#m7b5 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 D#m7b5 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
Lest 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 D#m7b5 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
(You got to make it)
CM7sus2
Oh, you will see those better days
(Be patient, be patient)
D/E
But you gotta be patient child
(You got to make it)
*
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...)
You got to make it, you got to make it
(... 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...
(You got to make it)
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
(You got to make it)
* C#m7b5
My grandma took me everywhere
