[N] [Eb]
[D] [Eb]
[Bb] [Eb]
I've been sitting [Gm] here all day, [Cm] thinking,
[Eb] same old dream ten [Gm] years away, [Cm] thinking.
[Eb] [Ab] Now my [Bb] days are gone, [Ab] memories [Bb] linger on, [Ab] thoughts of [Fm] when I was [Bb] a boy.
[Fm] [Dm] [Eb] Penny Farmer's [Gm] on the streets, [Cm] riding
[Eb] motor cars for [Gm] funny things, [Cm] frightening.
[Eb] [Ab] Bowling hoops and [Bb] spinning tops, [Ab] penny dresses, [Bb] lollipops, [Ab] comic cups, [Fm] all [Bb] different things.

[Ab] Lovely, [G] [F]
we all think, [Ebm]
[Bb] [Eb]
grandad, [Ab] grandad, lovely.
[F] But we all think, [Bb]
[Eb]
grandad, grandad.
Aeroplanes [Gm] tied up with string, [Cm]
[Eb] flying, telephone [Gm] and cuckoo sings, [Cm]
[Eb] sighing.
[Ab] A radio and [Bb] phonograph, [Ab] Charlie Chaplin [Bb] made us laugh, [Ab] silently [Fm] falling [Bb] about.
[Eb] Familiar things are [Gm] deep around, [Cm] near [Eb] me, memories of my [Gm] younger days, [Cm] clearly
[Eb] [Ab] come into [Bb] my mind.
[Ab] Every day [Bb] I find, [Ab] thoughts of [Fm] when I was [Bb] a boy.
[Eb]
[Ab] [Fm] Lovely,
[Ab] [F]
[Bb]
[Eb]
grandad, [Ab] lovely.

[Eb] grandad, grandad, grandad, grandad.
