_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [A] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
[Gbm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _
_ [E] _ Silver [Gbm] gray hair, _ [G] neatly _ [D] combed in place.
[Em] _
[D] There were four [Eb] _ _ generations [Db] of lovers.
_ [Gbm] _ _ She [D] was so wise, [A] no _ surprise, [Cm] past her [Bm] eyes, _ _ _ _ she'd [D] seen it all.
_ _ [Bm] I _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ _
[D] was a _ child, oh [G] about three [D] or four.
[Em] _ [D] All day [Eb] I'd ask _ _ questions, and _ [Gbm] ask more, [A] but [D] _ whenever, [A] she never _ [Cm] would _
[Bm] ever _ _ _ _ turn me [D] away.
She never turned me _ _ [E] away. _
I'd [G] say, how can I be [D] sure what is right or [F] wrong, and why, that's what I [C] want, always take so long.
[Ab] Please tell me where this guy [Bb] lives, and why [C] won't he talk to [D] me. _ _
I'd [G] say, Grandma, what is [D] love, will I ever [F] find out, why I'm so [C] fool, what is life about.
[Ab] I want to know the [Bb] answer, before [C] I fall off to [D] sleep. _
Before I [C] fall off to [D] sleep. _ _
[A] She sort [D] of smiled, _ as [G] she tucked [D] me in.
[Em] _
[D] Then she pulled up [Eb] that old rocking [Db] chair [Gbm] once again.
[E] But _ [D] tonight she [A] was slightly, _ [Cm] _ remarkably, [Bm] _ _ _ _
_ _ different [G] _ _ somehow.
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [A] _ Slowly [D] she _ rocked, [G] again, _ [Gbm] half asleep.
[Em] _ [Gbm] Grand beyond that she's trash, then she [Eb] started [Gbm] to speak.
[A] What [D] she told me, [A] would mold me, [Cm] and hold [Bm] _ _ me, _ _ together [G] _ _ inside. _ _ _ _
[D] _ Yes she _ [Db] did.
[A] She said, all the things you [D] ask, you will know someday.
[F] But you have got to [C] live in a patient way.
[Ab] I could see my fate, [Bb] and my fate in me, [C] better _ [D] days. _
[A] She said, child, we are [D] in the dark of night.
[F] In the morning, gonna [C] close your time, that's [Ab] why.
Can't get to bed at eight, [Bb] plus you'll make it through [C] the night.
_ [D] _ You gotta make it [C] through the night.
[D] Oh yes you do.
[C] _ You can't get to know, [Dm] _ better [G] _ days, unless [Bm] you make it [G] through the night.
_ [Em] _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [Db] Oh, _ [C] _ _ we'll see those, _ [Dm] _ better [G] _ days.
But you gotta [Bm] be _ _ [Em] patient. _ _
[Bb] Be _ [F] patient. _ _
Oh [D] baby, _ be patient. _
_ _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ _ [E] _
_ [A] Later [D] that year, at [G] the turn [D] of spring,
[Em] _
[D] Heaven sent [Eb] angels down, then [Db] gave grandma [Gbm] her wings.
[E]
Now [D] she's flying, [A] and sliding, [Cm] and _ [Bm] gliding. _ _ _
_ [A] In better [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] days. _ _ _
_ [Db] _ _ [A] And though I'm over it [D] up, I still get [Dm] confused.
I stumble in the [C] dark, getting bumped and [Ab] bruised.
And I can see my way, [Bb] I can still hear my grandma [C] say.
I can [D] hear her say, _ _ [C] _ _
[D] I can hear her singing.
_ You [G] can't get to know, _ [Dm] _ better [G] days, _ unless [Bm] you make it [Em] through the night.
_ _ _ [G] _ _
[D] _ _ [Em] Oh, _ [G] _ _
we'll see those, _ _ [Dm] _ better [C] _ days.
But you gotta [Bm] be patient.
[Em] _ Try to hear me now.
[G] _ _
[Bm] You _ [Eb] _ _ [G] _ _
can't get to know, _ [Dm] _ better [C] _ days, unless you [B] make it.
[Em] You gotta make it, you gotta make it through the [D] night.
[Em] Make it through the [G] night. _
Oh, _ _ _ [Dm] _ _
[C] grandma, _ _ will you [Bm] see me now?
[Em] See me now, lady? Yeah! _ _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Db] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ Yeah, [Dm] yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You don't [G] say that I'm crazy.
_ _ [Bm] _ _ _
[Em] _ You gotta _ _ _ [D] be.
_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
Yo, what's up?
