Grandpaw's radio Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I went through the closets,
[C]the attic and the shed
[G]Found things I'd forgot about,
old paperbacks I'd [D]read
[G]Long -forgotten photographs and
[C]Dad's old army clothes
An [G]ancient three -horse
Johnson and
[D]Grandpa's radio
[G]My eyes could not believe
it as I [C]blew the dust away
I [G]turned the knobs and plugged her
in never dreaming it would [D]play
But from [G]that little speaker
came an [C]old familiar sound
I re[G]membered hearing as a boy
with the [D]family gathered [G]round
It was [Em]our only link t[C]o the
outside [G]world
[B]Saturday night,
[Em]Martha
White, old
[A]Lester
Flatt [D]and her
We did[C]n't have a
TV, [G]we couldn't see the show
[C]But we mad[G]e the lead with
[D]Grandpa's ra[G]dio[C][G]
[D][G]
They say things change for the best,
some[C]times I don't know.
Satel[G]lites dot the hillsides now
where the live oak used to [D]grow.
And [G]there's new music playing
on high [C]-tech stereo.
Noth[G]in' sounds as good
to me as
[D]Grandpa's [G]radio
It was [Em]our only link t[C]o the outside [G]world
[B]Saturday night,
Martha,
[E]Wile,
[A]Leslie,
Vlad and
[D]Earl
We [C]didn't have a
TV, [G]couldn't see the show
[C]But we mad[G]e believe with
[D]Grandpa's radio
[G]It was our[Em] only link to[C]
the outside [G]world
[B]Saturday night,
[Em]Martha
