[Intro 1]
[D][A][D][G][A][D]

[Verse 1]
Sil[A]ver gray [D]hair,
neatly [G]combed [F#m]in place
[Em]There were [D]four gen[Ebdim]erations
of [C#]love on her face
[F#m]She wa[Em]s so[D] wise, no surpri[A]se,
past [Cdim]her eyes,[Bm]
she had [G]seen it [D]all.[Gsus4]
[G]I w[A]as a ch[D]ild, oh,
about [G]three [F#m]or four.
[Em]All [D]day I'd [Ebdim]ask questions,
at [C#]night I'd ask more.
[F#m]But wh[Em]enever[D] she never[A]
would [Cdim]ever tur[Bm]n me[G] away, no,[Esus4] no
[E]I'd say, how[A] can I be sur[D]e
what is right or wrong?
[G]And why [Gsus4]does what I want[C]
always take so long?
Please tell me where does God live
and [Bb]why won't he talk to m[Dsus4]e?[D]
[Esus4]I'd say grandma wh[Em]at is love,[A]
will I [D]ever find out, why [Gsus4]are we so poor,[C]
what is life about,
I want to know the answers
be[Bb]fore I fall [C]off [D]to sleep.
[C]Oh, [D]she[Esus4] saw the [A]smil[D]e
as she [G]tucked [F#m]me in
[Em]Then she [D]pulled up [Ebdim]that old rocking chair
[C#]once again
[F#m]But to[Em]night sh[D]e was s[A]lightly remarkably [Cdim]different[Bm]
[G]somehow[D][Esus4][D][Esus4][D][Gsus4]
[G]Slo[A]wly she'd wri[D]the,
looking [G]half [F#m]asleep
[Em]Grandma [D]yonder she [Ebdim]stretched,
then she [C#]started to [F#m]speak
What [Em]she t[D]old me w[A]ould mold
me and [Cdim]hold me[Bm]
Togeth[D]er [G]it's time
[D]Yeah, [Esus4]yeah, yeah, yeah
[E]She sai[A]d all the things you ask
[D]you will know someday
But you [G]have got to live [C]in a patient way
God put us here by faith
and by [Bb]faith there'll be bet
[Dsus4]ter days[D]
[Esus4]She said [Em]child we all are wounds
[D]in the dark of night
Ain't no morn[G]ing gonna come
[C]till the tide is right
Can't get to better days
unless you [Bb]make it through
the [Dsus4]night[D]
[Esus4]You gotta make it throu[D]gh the night[Dsus4]
[Em]Yes, you [D]do
[C]You can't get to no better day[D]s[C]
Unless [D]you make it through
[Em]the [G]night
[C#dim]Oh, you w[D]ill see[C]
those better [D]days[C]
But you gotta be [Bm]patient,
[Em]be patient[Fsus4],
[F]oh [Ebdim]baby,[C]
[Dsus4]be patien[C]t[D][Em]
[G]Lat[C]er [D]tha[Esus4]t day,[A][D]
at the [G]tear of [F#m]spring
[Em]Heaven s[D]ent angels d[Ebdim]own
and gave [C#]Grandma her [F#m]wings
Now [Em]she's [D]flyin' and
[A]slidin' and [Cdim]glid in'[Bm]
In the [G]days[D][Esus4][E]
And [A]al though I'm all grown up
I still [D]get confused
I [G]stumble through the dark
[C]Getting bumped and bruised
When night gets in my way
I [Bb]can still hear my grandma say
[Dsus4]I can hear her say,[D]
I [Esus4]can hear [Em]her s[C]ay[Em]
You [C]can't get to those bet
[D]ter[C] day[D]s[C]
[D]Unless you make it through [Em]the night,
[G]baby
[C]Oh, [C#dim]you'll se[D]e those[C]
bet[D]ter [C]days
But you gotta [D]be pa[Esus4]tient,
[Em]child, do you hear me?
Well, [G]well, well, well, [Em]well
[C#dim]You can't[D] stretch i[G]t, no
[C]You better [D]see
[C]Unless you[D] make it
You [Em]got to make it
You got to make it
You got to make it through the night
[C#dim]Oh, Grand[C]ma
[D]Oh, Grandma[C]
Do you [Em]see me now, lady?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
She used to sit me on her knee,
she used to call my name,
she used to tell me stories.
My grandma took me everywhere,
well, well, well, well, well, well, grandma.
