[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A#maj7 Am7 Gm7
Silver gray hair neatly combed in place.
Fmaj7 D7/F# E7 E/F# E/G# Am7
There were four generations of love on her face.
Gm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dbdim7 Dm9
She was so wise, no surprise passed her eyes.
A#maj7 F/G A#6
She'd seen it all.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A#maj7 Am7 Gm7
I was a child, oh about three or four,
Fmaj7 D7/F# E7 E/F# E/G# Am7
All day I'd ask questions at night I'd ask more.
Gm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dbdim7 Dm9
But whenever, she never, would ever,
A#maj7 F/G Ebdim/G
Turn me away. No oh.
[Chorus 1]
A#/C A#/C Fmaj7
I'd say how can I be sure what is right or wrong?
Fmaj7 Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
And why does what I want always take so long?
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7
Please tell me where does God live
C# Eb/F F/G
And why won't He talk to me?
A#/C
I'd say, grandma what is love?
A#/F Fmaj7 Fmaj7
Will I ever find out?
Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
Why are we so poor, what is life about?
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7 C# Eb/F F/G
I wanna know the answers before I fall off to sleep.
Eb/F F/G
Oooh oh.
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A#maj7 Am7 Abm7 Gm7
She sort of smiled as she tucked me in,
Fmaj7 D7/F# E7 E/F# E/G# Am7
Then she pulled up that old rocking chair once a - gain.
Gm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dbdim7 Dm9
But tonight she was slightly, remarkably,
A#M7 F/G A#6
Different somehow.
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A#maj7 Am7 Gm7
Slowly she rocked, looking half asleep,
Fmaj7 D7/F# E7 E/F# E/G# Am7
Grandma yawned as she streched then she star - ted to speak,
Gm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dbdim7 Dm9
What she told me, would mould me, and holds me,
A#maj7 F/G Ebdim7/G
Together inside.
[Chorus 2]
A#/C A#/C Fmaj7
She said all the things you ask you will know someday,
Fmaj7 Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
But you have got to live in a patient way.
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7
God put us here by fate
C# Eb/F F/G
And by fate that means better days.
A#/C A#/C Fmaj7
She said, child we all moons in the dark of night,
Fmaj7 Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
Ain't no morning gonna come 'til the time is right.
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7 C# Eb/F F/G
Can't get to better days lest you make it through the night.
Eb/F F/G
You gotta make it through the night, yes you do.
[Bridge]
Ebmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Gm11 G G A A# C D F G Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night.
Ebmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days
Dm7 Gm7 F#/G# G#/F# Eb/F F/G Eb/F F/G
Be pa - tient, be pa - tient, oh baby, be patient.
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 Fmaj7 A#maj7 Am7 Abm7 Gm7
Later that year, at the turn of spring,
Fmaj7 D7/F# E7 E/F# E/G# Am7
Heaven sent angels down and gave grandma her wings.
Gm7 Fmaj7 Em7 Dbdim7 Dm9
Now she's flying, and sliding, and gliding,
A#maj7 F/G Ebdim7/G
In better days.
[Chorus 3]
A#/C A#/C Fmaj7
And although I'm all grown up, I still get confused.
Fmaj7 Ab/A# Ab/A# Ebmaj7
I stumble through the dark, getting bumped and bruised,
Ebmaj7 Bmaj7
When the night gets in my way,
C#
I could still hear my grandma say,
Eb/F F/G
I can hear her say
Eb/F F/G
I can hear her say
[Coda]
Ebmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Gm11 G G A A# C D F G Ddim7
Unless you make it through the night baby.
Ebmaj7
Oh, you will see those better days,
Gm11 G G A A# C D F G Ddim7
But you gotta be patient child, do you hear me yeah, well, well, well well well.
Ebmaj7
You can't get to no better days,
Gm11 G G A A# C D F G Ddim7
Unless you make it, you got to make it, you got to make it, you got to make it through the night yeah.
Ebmaj7
Oh grandma, oh grandma,
Gm11 G G A A# C D F G Ddim7
Do you see me now lady oh oh oh...
Ebmaj7
She used to sit me on her knee, she used to comb my hair.
Gm11
She used to tell me stories...(fade out)
