The day Granddaddy died, she was there by his side, and she held to his hand till the end.
[D] And just before [G] his [D] final breath, the one that [G] took him [D] in to death, a [G] smile and [D] tears showed through, like she [A] already knew.
[B] And [D] in a [G] voice so [D] low and mild, she stayed [G] and [D] talked a while, like a friend [G] on from [D] a long, long trip, [A] like a mother to [D] a child.
[Bb]
[Eb] Whenever [Ab] Grandma [Eb] got blue, like [Ab] only [Eb] widows do, she'd go [Ab] to their [Eb] bedroom and close [Bb] the door.
[C] And [Eb] for years [Ab] we thought [Eb] she prayed by the bed [Ab] where he [Eb] had laid, but we only [Ab] could [Eb] assume what went on in [Bb] Grandma's room.
And [Eb] in a [Ab] voice so [Eb] low and mild, she stayed [Ab] and [Eb] talked a while, like a friend on [Ab] from a long, long trip, [Bb] like a mother to [Eb] a child.
[Ab] [Eb]
[Ab] She knew [Eb] a week before the old barn burned [Ab] down, [Eb] and she knew before we [Bb] told her, when Jack had that wreck in town.
[Eb] And the [Ab] night before [Eb] Aunt Julia passed away, she went [Ab] over there and stayed.
[Eb] And I finally [Ab] asked her just [Eb] how she could know all of this, and she just patted my [Bb] hand and gave me a kiss.
And in [Eb] a voice [Ab] so low [Eb] and mild, she said I talked [Ab] to Jim [Eb] a while, like a friend [Ab] on from [Eb] a long, long trip, [Bb] like a mother to [Eb] a child.
Like a friend on from a long, long trip, [Bb] like a mother to [Eb] a child.
